The genocide and war crimes trial of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has resumed in The Hague, a day after it was adjourned.
Karadzic again refused to attend, as he says he needs at least nine months to prepare his defence. The court ruled the trial could proceed without him.
Karadzic denies all charges relating to the Bosnian war of the 1990s, the BBC reported.
Separately, former Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavsic, convicted of war crimes, has been released.
Plavsic was the highest ranking official from the former Yugoslavia to have pleaded guilty for her part in the Bosnian War. She was sentenced in 2003 to 11 years in a Swedish jail.
But a Swedish court has allowed her early release for good behaviour.
