THE HAGUE, March 13 (Hina) - The Slobodan Milosevic trial before the U.N. war crimes tribunal resumed on Wednesday with the testimony of U.S. statistician Patrick Ball. Ball said that in 1999 he helped compile a report on the
persecution, deportation and other crimes against Kosovo Albanians. The first major international political figure set to testify against Milosevic is International Balkans envoy Paddy Ashdown, who is expected to take the witness stand later this week. Ashdown already testified in a trial of the former commander of the Central Bosnia Operation Zone, Tihomir Blaskic, four years ago. During the trial, Ashdown said that late Croatian President Franjo Tudjman in London in 1995 drew a division of Bosnia-Herzegovina on a serviette. Milosevic is charged with genocide in the 1992-95 Bosnian war and crimes against humanity in Croatia in 1991-92 and in Kosovo in 1999. (hina) it sb
