Seselj told Television BK he would not "allow anybody arrest and
transfer" him in the meantime.
"I have just been informed that an indictment against me was made
public. I haven't seen it yet and I do not wish to comment on its
contents," Seselj told the Beta news agency, adding that a team of
15 legal experts would help him defend himself before the
tribunal.
A Television B92 reporter from The Hague has said that Seselj was
charged on 14 counts of the indictment with war crimes in Croatia
and Bosnia, committed from 1991 through 1993, including the
expulsion of the Croat population of the Vojvodina village of
Hrtkovici in the summer of 1992.
