The Hague tribunal is looking for 15 accused persons, including
five of "high carat" value, while a dozen are "less important," he
said in the village of Grgure.

prosecuted in Serbia, he said.
Djindjic again dismissed the possibility of the extradition of
incumbent Serbian President Milan Milutinovic as long as he
remained in office. "It would be unnatural for the Serbian
president to be subjected to such a treatment in any way," he said.
