testifying before the UN war crimes tribunal (ICTY) had been handed
over earlier in the day.
After being informed of it by the Belgrade court, Lilic departed for
the Netherlands on Thursday evening, the lawyer said.
The Milosevic trial resumes on Monday.
Lawyer Saponjic said he would subsequently issue a statement about
the details of his client's testimony.
