Karadzic, 64, whose appeal to delay the trial for 10 months was denied this week, faces 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, including two counts of genocide.

The trial will start at 9 am Central European Time (0800 GMT) on Monday, October 26, judges at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia said in an order.

Arrested last year and brought to the Hague-based UN tribunal after 11 years on the run, Karadzic has denied all charges and is representing himself.
