Court OKs Request for Single Milosevic Trial
- Share via
Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic will face only one trial to answer for three separate indictments for war crimes in Kosovo, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, the U.N. tribunal said.
An appellate bench of the tribunal in The Hague agreed to a prosecution request to hold a single trial for Milosevic, allowing key witnesses to appear only once rather than be recalled for several trials.
The court said the trial could begin as scheduled Feb. 12.
Prosecutors have said they will call as many as 30 political insiders to testify and link Milosevic to the atrocities during his 13-year rule.
