In a statement issued on the web site of his party, Svilanovic said
that the SPS had made its support to the election of DSS
vice-president Dragan Marsicanin as parliament president conditional
on, among other things, the state funding Milosevic's defence before
the UN war crimes tribunal and discontinuing the extradition of war
crimes suspects to the tribunal.
