Former Serbian president faces war crimes tribunal

From: The Scotsman | Date: January 21, 2003| Author: | Copyright information

SERBIA'S former president surrendered to the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal yesterday to fight allegations he was complicit in the brutal crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.

Milan Milutinovic flew to the Netherlands on a plane chartered by the Yugoslav government and was driven to the UN detention unit, where he joined the former Yugoslav president, Slobodan Milosevic, and 40 other detainees.

Within hours of his arrival, Milutinovic was summoned from the prison in a suburb of The Hague to the tribunal's courthouse for an hour-long meeting with the chief prosecutor, Carla Del Ponte.
