The trial chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in charge of Vojislav Seselj's trial rejected Wednesday his motion for an acquittal.

The chamber rejected Seselj's request to call off the trial and drop the charges and stated that the prosecution had presented enough evidence to warrant a continuation of the process.

Chamber head Jean-Claude Antonetti stated his opinion separately from the rest of the judges.

According to him, the chamber could not state that the prosecution's evidence has been lacking reliability and credibility.

At this stage, there is enough evidence for a conviction for inciting the crimes listed in the indictment, Antonetti noted.

Therefore, the chamber rejects the indictee's motion, he stated.
