The UN International War Crimes Court on November 22nd will declare the verdict against former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic.
Mladic is charged with 11 counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Mladic, 75, is accused of ordering the army to attack civilians in Bosnia's capital, Sarajevo and of executing 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in July 1995. By 2007, the United Nations International Court had decided that Serb forces had committed genocide in Bosnia. Mladic has dismissed all charges.
Mladic's trial is the latest at the International War Crimes Court that was founded by The Hague in 1993 to condemn crimes committed during the Balkan wars in the early 1990s.
In 2016, this court convicted Mladic's political chief, Radovan Karadzic, who also had similar charges, including genocide.
Karadzic was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
