THE HAGUE/ZAGREB, Sept 14 (Hina) - New problems arose in the trial of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia on Tuesday after defence counsel Steven Kay admitted that the defence managed to get only one witness to take the stand this week.

This is the only witness we could get to testify, Kay said after a former OSCE observer in Kosovo, Rolland Keith, ended his testimony.

Kay and Gillian Higgins were assigned to run Milosevic's defence to avoid further disruptions in a trial dogged by Milosevic's ill health since it opened in early 2002.

The ICTY's decision to impose defence counsel on Milosevic had the opposite effect because a number of witnesses refused to take the stand as a sign of protest against the decision.

In the meantime, the ICTY allowed Kay and Higgins to appeal against the decision on Milosevic's behalf judging that it was significantly affecting the course of the trial.

Witness Rolland Keith, retired Canadian Army captain, testified about his role in the OSCE Verification Mission to Kosovo in the spring of 1999, ahead of NATO's strike on Yugoslavia.

Keith, who was the head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo Polje, said that members of the Kosovo Liberation Army had provoked members of the Yugoslav Interior Ministry and the Army, thus breaking the truce signed by Milosevic and US envoy Richard Holbrooke.
