Mladic was originally charged with war crimes stemming from the conflict in BiH in July 1995, under a joint indictment with wartime Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic, but it was later split into two separate cases.
Mladić je prvobitno osuđen za ratne zločine u ratu u BiH u julu 1995, u okviru zajedničke optužnice zajedno sa političkim liderom bosanskih Srba Radovanom Karadžićem, ali je ta optužnica kasnije podeljena na dva posebna predmeta.
