The Yugoslav parliament is set to adopt the war crimes law in an
emergency measure on Wednesday, federal secretary for informing
Slobodan Orlic said after the government session on Tuesday.
"The law would clear the way for sending fugitives to the U.N. Hague
Tribunal," Orlic said.
Yugoslav reformist leaders finally agreed a compromise bill this
week under threat of a return to international isolation.
The tribunal is seeking a total of 33 fugitives, the vast majority
of them believed to be in Yugoslavia or Bosnia's Serb Republic.
