THE HAGUE, Jumada II 1, 1432, May 4, 2011, SPA -- The U.N's Yugoslavia war crimes court ruled on Wednesday there was enough evidence for the trial of Serbian nationalist leader Vojislav Seselj to go on, dashing any chances he had of participating in Serbia's 2012 elections, Reuters reported. Seselj, a popular Serbian political leader, requested in March he be acquitted on nine counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, arguing there was no evidence to convict him. He requested damages for more than eight years in detention. He is accused of instigating "murder, extermination, persecution, torture and cruel treatment" of non-Serbs as part of efforts to create a "Greater Serbia" during the break-up of the former Yugoslavia at the end of the Cold War. -- SPA 16:54 LOCAL TIME 13:54 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/889711
