ZAGREB/THE HAGUE, Feb 20 (Hina) - The trial of former Yugoslav
President Slobodan Milosevic will resume on Monday, the U.N. war
crimes tribunal in The Hague decided on Friday.#L#
The prosecution was to complete the presentation of evidence this
week, but hearings scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday were cancelled
due to the defendant's illness.
The prosecution will wrap up its evidence presentation on Monday and
Tuesday, thus ending the two-year procedure intended to prove
Milosevic's guilt to 66 counts of genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina and
crimes against humanity and war crimes in Croatia and Kosovo committed
in the 1990s.
A three-month recess will follow during which Milosevic is expected to
prepare defence witnesses and evidence. The trial is scheduled to
resume on May 19.
Over the past two years proceedings were interrupted about 15 times
due to the defendant's high blood pressure, flu or exhaustion.
