Milosevic to Open Trial Defense

World | August 31, 2004, Tuesday // 00:00

Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic is due to open his much-delayed defence when his trial resumes shortly at The Hague. Milosevic's poor health has caused dozens of delays, but he insists on representing himself. Judges will be faced with deciding whether to impose a lawyer on him.

The trial opened in February 2002, and judges are keen for it to be completed by October 2005.
