Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic has accused NATO - and the prosecutors at his war crimes trial - of lying about the Kosovo conflict. Launching a robust defence at The Hague tribunal, he began by showing video footage, including German television reports, which rejected allegations of mass killings in Kosovo. He said Nato's military intervention which followed the Racak massacre of ethnic Albanians in 1999 was built on lies.
