ZAGREB, Nov 28 (Hina) - Croatian President Stipe Mesic on Tuesday
said that a renewed political engagement of former Yugoslav
President Slobodan Milosevic represented his desperate struggle
for life.
"This is only a proof that Milosevic today is conducting a battle
for his life and policy. Milosevic's policy obviously has not yet
gone down even though he had lost the elections, and he is fighting

This means, Mesic stressed, not only whether Milosevic would live
or not, but also where he would live.
"One of his options is that the Hague Tribunal sets a location where

by a court in Serbia", the Croatian President said.
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
(ICTY) in The Hague indicted the former Yugoslav President for war
crimes committed in the southern Yugoslav province of Kosovo. The
ICTY prosecution announced that the indictment would be expanded
and would include war crimes committed in Bosnia-Herzegovina and
Croatia.
