Bosnian Serb genocide suspect, Ratko Mladic, lost an appeal against extradition and will be sent to an international tribunal to face charges, prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic said on Serbian television Tuesday.
Mladic's lawyer said earlier that he expected to learn Tuesday whether the former Bosnian Serb general will get new medical exams. Lawyer Milos Saljic argued that Mladic would not be able to participate in a trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia because of his ill health.
Saljic wants Mladic examined by specialists "who can investigate his specific needs," including a gastroenterologist, cardiologist, psychiatrist and neurologist.
Mladic, 69, is wanted by the tribunal in connection with the massacre of nearly 8,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica in 1995, among other charges. He was captured Thursday after more than 15 years in hiding.
The court has already ruled Mladic is fit to stand trial.
