Milosevic blood pressure puts health at risk

Even when relaxed, Slobodan Milosevic’s blood pressure is above normal. At times of stress during his war crimes trial, doctors say it shoots up to dangerous levels.

The details of the former Yugoslav president’s heart condition were discussed in open court today, and UN judges in The Hague postponed the opening of his defence case on the advice of doctors, who said Milosevic’s high blood pressure has damaged his heart.
