Vlastimir Djordjevic, indicted for crimes against humanity for ordering the
killings of Kosovo Albanians in 1998-99, appeared before the International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia on Tuesday but declined to enter a
plea, news agencies reported. At his first hearing before the UN war
crimes tribunal in The Hague Djordjevic requested a 30-day postponement as he
had not
yet chosen a permanent lawyer.
Djordjevic was arrested on Sunday in the Montenegrin coastal resort of
Budva. He is in custody in The Hague.
Djordjevic was indicted in 2003 for his role in a Serb crackdown on
ethnic Albanian separatist guerrillas in Kosovo.
