The war crimes trial of former Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladic will resume on Monday after doctors determined that he is well enough to appear in court, a spokeswoman for the tribunal said last night.

Mladic – accused of genocide over the siege of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo and the 1995 killing of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica – was rushed to a Dutch hospital on Thursday after asking for a break during trial proceedings.

“Medical examinations confirmed there were no abnormalities in his health status and that no treatment is required,” a court spokesperson said.
