The Hague Tribunal could deliver Karadžić's final verdict by mid-2015.

The closing statements in the trial against former Republika Srpska (RS) President Radovan Karadžić, who is accused of responsibility for the deaths of thousands of non-Serb nationals during the Serbian aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina, concluded today at the Hague Tribunal, reports the BH News Agency Patria (NAP).

Karadžić stated that he expects to be acquitted of genocide charges as well as all other charges he faces, while the Prosecution expressed hope that Karadžić will receive a life sentence for his responsibility for the crimes committed by the Army of Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995.

Karadžić is accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, and violations of the laws and customs of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995.

He was arrested after hiding under a false name for several years after the aggression against BiH ended, practicing quackery, after which he was transferred to The Hague from Serbia on July 30, 2008, and the trial on 11 counts of the indictment began on October 26, 2009.

The Prosecution presented 195 witnesses in this case who testified in person in the courtroom, the judges called one witness themselves, while Karadžić's defense presented 238 witnesses.

The Hague Tribunal could deliver a final decision in the Karadžić case by mid- or late 2015, reports NAP.
