The 63-year-old former Bosnian Serb leader, thinner, clean-shaven calmly told the presiding judge "I have an invisible adviser but I have decided to represent myself". Karadzic, arrested last week after 13 years on the run, said he would enter a plea after studying the charges, and a revised indictment prosecutors are preparing.He will be asked to enter pleas of guilty or not guilty to the charges of atrocities committed during Bosnia’s 1992-95 war which killed 100,000 people. The accused is entitled to seek a 30 day delay before entering a plea and may emulate Slobodan Milosevic’s, the former Serbian president, forceful political challenge to the UN court’s jurisdiction and authority.
