SLOBODAN Milosevic’s trial was in jeopardy yesterday after a medical report raised the possibility that he could be declared unfit to continue the trial and perhaps even freed.

Slobodan Milosevic is expected to accuse Western governments of hypocrisy as he opens his defence against war crimes charges, including genocide, at the UN tribunal in the Hague today.

Prosecutors in Slobodan Milosevic’s war crimes trial are resting their case, due to the illnesses of Milosevic and of the presiding judge.

Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic went on trial today before a United Nations tribunal, accused of genocide in the Balkans.
