MOSCOW, July 1 (RIA Novosti) - A regular conference meeting on the case of the former President of Republika Srpska Radovan Karadzic will be held on Wednesday in The Hague.

Karadzic, 63, was arrested in late July 2008 in Belgrade after more than a decade on the run. He faces 11 charges, including genocide and war crimes.

Karadzic and his defense team filed a pre-trial plea of not guilty in a letter submitted to the court on Tuesday.

Up to now Karadzic has refused to enter a plea, claiming he would not get a fair trial.

The status conference is held prior to the trial, which is expected to start in late August.
