The trial of Serbian ultra-nationalist leader Vojislav Seselj has opened at the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague.
Mr Seselj denies the charges of murder, torture and the persecution of Croats, Muslims and other non-Serbs during wars in Bosnia and Croatia in the 1990s.
He has said he will rely on a political defence and use the tribunal to show there is a conspiracy against Serbia.
His Serbian Radical Party (SRS) is the biggest party in Serbia's parliament.
Dressed in a dark suit and flanked by two guards, Mr Seselj showed no emotion at the start of his trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
