"That money, believed to have been acquired illegally, belongs to
Serbia and has to be returned to it," he told Politika of Tuesday.
During a recent visit to The Hague, where Milosevic is on trial for
war crimes, representatives of Serbia's Justice Ministry and
Prosecutor's Office were handed documentation on Milosevic's
financial wrongdoing, including the scandal surrounding the sale
of Telecom Serbia, Batic said.
