Milosevic contemptuous of UN court, says wife

Defiant even as he awaits trial for alleged crimes against humanity, Slobodan Milosevic remains contemptuous of the UN war crimes tribunal and will continue to represent himself, his wife said today.

Back in Belgrade from a three day visit to see her husband at the tribunal’s detention centre in The Hague, Mirjana Markovic reiterated the couple’s mutual scorn for the court as ‘‘a political instrument against Serb people.’’
