THE HAGUE, Dec 11 (Hina) - A session of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), at which ex-Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic will have the chance to enter his plea in connection with the gravest
indictment against him to date, namely for genocide in Bosnia, started by the reading of the 40-page indictment at 9.30AM Tuesday.

As regards the accusations for Croatia and Kosovo, Milosevic refused to enter a plea, saying he considered the Tribunal an illegitimate institution the aim of which was turning the Serb people from victim into aggressor.

THE HAGUE, Dec 11 (Hina) - A session of the International Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), at which ex-Yugoslav
President Slobodan Milosevic will have the chance to enter his plea
in connection with the gravest indictment against him to date,
namely for genocide in Bosnia, started by the reading of the 40-page
indictment at 9.30AM Tuesday.
When the indictments for Croatia and Kosovo were read in late
October, a visibly unnerved Milosevic said the Tribunal was boring
him with the marathon reading of papers written on the level of a
retarded seven-year-old.
As regards the accusations for Croatia and Kosovo, Milosevic
refused to enter a plea, saying he considered the Tribunal an
illegitimate institution the aim of which was turning the Serb
people from victim into aggressor.
The Hague tribunal has charged Milosevic also with crimes against
humanity committed during the 1990s war in Croatia and in Kosovo two
years ago.
The former Yugoslav head of state has been in the Tribunal's custody
since June 29, when Serbian authorities turned him over.
