Poljanic started his testimony shortly before noon on Wednesday,
after human rights activist Jerry Laber ended her testimony.
Presiding judge Richard May interrupted Milosevic's cross-
examination of Laber several times saying that his questions were
irrelevant and that he was wasting the court's time.
Poljanic should testify about events in the Dubrovnik area from
1991 to 1995. He is the first witness from the area of Dubrovnik to
testify in the trial.
