SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik took to the stand on Wednesday in a trial in which he is accused of defying the rulings of an international peace envoy, calling the proceedings a "political process" and attacking prosecutors.

In an unexpected move towards the end of the day's hearings, following which the trial was adjourned for a fourth time, Dodik stood to say that his acts have been in line with the Serb Republic's constitution and the Dayton peace accords, of which Bosnia's constitution is part.
