Serbian ultra-nationalist Vojislav Seselj has been found not guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the Balkan wars in the 1990s.

The UN war crimes court at The Hague (ICTY) said he bore no individual responsibility for the crimes.

Mr Seselj had denied the charges. In his first reaction, he said the court had reached the only verdict possible.

He was allowed to go to Belgrade in 2014 after being diagnosed with cancer and was not present in the courtroom.

He had even refused the tribunal’s offer to follow the verdict by videolink

He has been taking part in anti-government rallies ahead of Serbian parliamentary elections later this month.
