The France Presse news agency on Monday quoted ICTY judge Alphonse Orie as saying that the trial will commence on 2 November.
According to the ICTY website, this UN tribunal in The Hague charges Vojislav Seselj with "participating in recruiting, forming, financing, equipping, supporting and leading Serbian volunteer units linked to the Serbian Radical Party that participated in a number of crimes, including massacring about 255 non-Serbs at the Ovcara farm near Vukovar in 1991."
Seselj is also charged with "inciting Serbian volunteer units and other forces to commit violent and brutal crimes in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and with instigating his followers in the Vojvodina region of Serbia to persecute the non-Serb population.
