Ex-Serbian President Surrenders for Trial

World | January 20, 2003, Monday // 00:00

Former Serbian President Milan Milutinovic has surrendered to the international tribunal in The Hague, where he faces war crimes charges. Mr Milutinovic was taken by car to a United Nations detention centre in the city after arriving on a special flight from Belgrade. He is accused of helping the Yugoslav leadership plot the persecution, deportation and murder of ethnic Albanians during the Kosovo conflict in 1998-1999. He was indicted along with former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who is currently on trial at The Hague for war crimes including genocide. The way was cleared for Mr Milutinovic's extradition at the end of last year when his term in office expired and he lost his immunity from prosecution. Mr Milutinovic has denied any involvement in war crimes and has indicated he is going to The Hague voluntarily.
