US axes aid to Serbia-Montenegro over war crimes
America has suspended aid to the Serbia-Montenegro government because it is refusing to co-operate with the tribunal set up by the United Nations to deal with war crimes in the former Yugoslavia, the US State Department said today.
The Serbian capital, Belgrade, has been wracked by protests in recent weeks because the government has yet to arrest and turn in Ratko Mladic, the ex-Bosnian Serb army commander that the ribunal has under indictment for genocide.
