Serbian ultra-nationalist Vojislav Seselj has been charged in connection with last month's assassination of reformist Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. He faces charges of "incitement to terrorism and murder", Serbian Interior Minister Dusan Mihajlovic told a news conference in the capital Belgrade. Seselj is currently in The Hague, awaiting trial on war crimes charges, which he denies. Mihajlovic said 44 other people had also been charged with similar offences, and that 15 people were directly involved in the assassination plot. He said that among the detainees were Rade Bulatovic, an aid to former Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica, and also former security chief Aco Tomic. Djindjic was gunned down in broad daylight outside government offices in Belgrade on 12 March.
