ICTY reported on Wednesday afternoon.#L#
Spokesman for the tribunal Jim Landale said that the hearing scheduled
for Thursday had been canceled and would most definitely not resume
this week.
ICTY prosecutors were scheduled to complete the presentation of
evidence at the hearing on Wednesday and Thursday after which a
three-month recess would follow to give Milosevic time to prepare his
witnesses and evidence.
Over the past two years the trial has been interrupted more than a
dozen times due to Milosevic's high blood pressure, flu or
exhaustion.
