The former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic is to defend himself against war crime charges brought against him by the UN, his lawyer has revealed.
However his decision has met with opposition from prosecutors, who generally oppose defendents representing themselves in court due to the complex nature of their cases. A spokeswoman today said that the prosecutors in the court in The Hague, where the trial will be carried out, "believe the interests of justice will be best served if the accused are assisted by qualified counsel."
