Milosevic's reluctant defence resumes
Slobodan Milosevic’s defence resumed today, even as an appeals panel of the UN war crimes tribunal considered the former Yugoslav president’s request to sack his court-appointed lawyer and let him represent himself again.
As Milosevic sat silently on the defendant’s bench in The Hague, defence counsel, British lawyer Steven Kay, questioned a German journalist who testified that the Kosovo Liberation Army, or KLA, provoked Serb forces into excessive responses during fighting in the late 1990s.
