CHIEF PROSECUTOR DEL PONTE ARRIVES IN BELGRADE TODAY

BELGRADE, Oct 21 (Hina) - The chief prosecutor of the UN war crimes tribunal at The Hague, Carla del Ponte, arrives in Belgrade today for talks with the president of the Yugoslav council for cooperation with the tribunal, Foreign Minister Goran Svilanovic, and other officials. #L# According to announcements, the talks should focus on the prosecution's request that Yugoslav authorities arrest all those accused of war crimes, including Bosnian Serb Ratko Mladic, who is believed to be in Serbia, and on undisturbed access for Hague investigators to archives and witnesses in Yugoslavia. Minister Svilanovic, who is meeting del Ponte at 2 PM, has said he expects the chief prosecutor will express a "certain dissatisfaction with the level of cooperation to date". Assistant Justice Minister Nebojsa Sarkic told Radio B92 earlier on Monday del Ponte did not submit evidence that Mladic and the other accused were hiding in Yugoslavia. "The chief prosecutor can submit to specific services this alleged address and see if our... official state services are willing to cooperate or not. I claim that she has not done it yet," said Sarkic. (hina) ha
