Milosevic snubs British defence lawyers
Former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic is refusing to co-operate with two British lawyers appointed to defend him before the United Nations war crimes tribunal – even as they prepare to call the first witness in his defence case.
Smilja Avramov, a retired Serbian international law professor, was due to testify at the tribunal at The Hague, in the Netherlands, today, said Zdenko Tomanovic, one of Milosevic’s legal aides.
