The UN tribunal postponed by a week the trial of two Serbian former security officials accused of killing non-Serbs in Bosnia and Croatia during the 1992-1995 war.
The trial of Jovica Stanisic and Franko Simatovic, which had been initially scheduled for March 10th, will now start on March 17th, the tribunal said in a statement on Friday. The delay came at the request of prosecutors.
Stanisic was Slobodan Milosevic's secret service chief and Simatovic a commander of elite Serb forces.
Prosecutors say both trained and armed Serb special units who set out on a programme of ethnic-cleansing.
