THE HAGUE/ZAGREB, May 6 (Hina) - The International Criminal Tribunal
for the former Yugoslavia's (ICTY) has postponed the presentation of
evidence by defendant Slobodan Milosevic for two weeks due to
Milosevic's condition, the ICTY said in a statement on Wednesday.#L#
"The Trial Chamber considered Mr. Milosevic?s bad health during the
three month period assigned for the preparation of the Defence case,
his present bad health and his doctor?s advice to rest," the ICTY
said.
The tribunal also said that the Trial Chamber considered that the
material filed by Mr. Milosevic on 13 April 2004, including his list
of proposed witnesses, still needed to be translated and would need to
be examined before the Pre-Defence Conference took place.
The pre-defence conference, scheduled for May 17, has also been
postponed for June 9.
Milosevic was charged in May 1999 with genocide and war crimes
committed by forces over whom he is said to have had
ultimate control in Croatia and Bosnia, and by his own army and police
in Kosovo.
