Hague (ICTY) denied a request by former Serbian president Milan

The request for temporary release, including the necessary
guarantees from the authorities in Belgrade, was submitted by
Milutinovic in mid January this year, immediately after he
surrendered to the ICTY.
The Hague prosecution objected to the request reminding that
Milutinovic surrendered only at the end of his presidential mandate
in December 2002 when it was obvious that he would be arrested.
