The war crimes trial of Slobodan Milosevic was again adjourned this morning on health grounds as UN judges ordering the former Yugoslav president to have more health checks.
The one-time Serb strongman suffers from high blood pressure and is at risk of a heart attack, according to earlier medical reports. His frequent sickness has caused the trial to be interrupted several times.
The trial only resumed last Thursday after a three-week Christmas and New Year break, with the former president looking pale and appearing to have lost weight as he appeared in court.
Milosevic has been on trial for his role in the wars in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo in the 1990s since February 2002.
He is charged with over 60 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. For the bloody 1992-95 war in Bosnia he faces a charge of genocide, the most serious of war crimes.
The prosecution finished presenting its case for Kosovo in September and is now presenting evidence relating to charges over the wars in Croatia and Bosnia.
