THE HAGUE/ZAGREB, Dec 7 (Hina) - Geoffrey Nice, the chief
prosecutor in the case against former Serbian and Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic, accused of war crimes by the UN tribunal in the Hague, on Wednesday
asked the tribunal's trial chamber to help obtain documents from Belgrade given
that the authorities in Serbia had so far avoided sending the prosecution
documents pertaining to the operations of the Army of Yugoslavia in Kosovo in
1999. Only a day ahead of the visit of ICTY Chief Prosecutor Carla
del Ponte to Belgrade, Nice accused Serbia-Montenegro of failure to cooperate
with the tribunal in The Hague.
Nice said that despite repeated requests regarding a war diary of one
of defence witnesses, Belgrade had not yet provided the prosecution with
requested documents.
