# Ratko Mladic believes he is not guilty, says son
|
|
|
|
## The son of former Serb general Ratko Mladic says his father believes he is
|
|
innocent of all charges, as his lawyer protests he is not fit to stand trial.

|
Darko Mladic made a statement outside the Serbian war crimes court in Belgrade
|
|
before his father was **[declared fit to be extradited to the United Nations
|
|
war crimes tribunal in The Hague][1]** to face charges of genocide, crimes
|
|
against humanity and war crimes.
|
|
|
|
He said: "He believes he is not guilty for what he has been accused of. We
|
|
will see whether he will be in a position to prove that because of his health
|
|
condition, which is very serious."
|
|
|
|
Milos Saljic, the lawyer for the former commander of Bosnian Serb forces
|
|
during the Bosnian war, claimed that Mladic's poor health rendered him
|
|
incapable of defending himself.
|
|
|
|
"Mladic is most certainly not fit to attend court sessions and he is not fit
|
|
to provide adequate defence for himself." Mr Saljic stated.
|
|
|
|
Judge Maja Kovacevic later ruled otherwise. He said Mladic had been examined
|
|
by a medical commission "which has determined he is fit for further
|
|
proceedings".

**[Europe's most-wanted man was arrested in the early hours of Thursday][6]**
|
|
in a village in northern Serbia ended a 16-year manhunt.
|
|
|
|
The indictment against him cites the Srebrenica massacre, the 44-month siege
|
|
of Sarajevo, and the creation of camps and detention centres during the
|
|
1992-1995 war, all as part of a campaign directed against Bosnian Muslims.
