Slobodan Milosevic will refuse legal representation when he appears today before the United Nations War crimes Tribunal, maintaining the court is part of a Western conspiracy to exterminate the Serb people, his lawyers said.

The prison meeting in The Hague between Slobodan Milosevic and his lawyers has been delayed because Milosevic’s luggage, which his legal team had brought from Belgrade, was lost at Amsterdam airport, one of his lawyers said.

Slobodan Milosevic's lawyers have flown to The Hague to meet the fallen leader and prepare for his appearance before the war crimes tribunal.
