Karadžić trial must progress

 

Radovan Karadžić failed to appear on the first day of the genocide trial against him in The Hague, prompting a wave of criticism in the European press. Karadžić must not be allowed to make a circus of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia as Slobodan Milošević did before him, the papers write, calling for rapid progress in the trial and respect for Balkan war victims and their families.
