Yugoslav President backs war crimes law

Yugoslavia’s president says he will "facilitate and support" a law in his country to co-operate with the United Nations war crimes tribunal, which is seeking the extradition of Slobodan Milosevic.

"We are very firm about, and aware of our international obligations, including those with The Hague tribunal," Vojislav Kostunica said after meeting UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. "But we need a legal frame for that co-operation at this moment."
