The two-day hearing session began after several times having been postponed due to Mladic's health problems and the cause of the coronary pandemic.
The 78-year-old leader had led Serb forces during the massacre of Bosnian Muslims during the Bosnian war in the 1990s.
Known as the “Bosnian Casap”, he was sentenced to life sentence in November 2017, reports the BBC.
As today's session began, Mladic's lawyers gave the UN tribunal that the procedures should not begin until a medical team examined Mladic's capacity to participate. They argued that he was misdemeanored for unplanned “acids”.
Mladic himself will speak for 10 minutes Wednesday, and was presented at the trial hearing during today's session. He had put on a surgic mask for a short period of time before he took it off.
