Yugoslavia's former Deputy Prime Minister, Nikola Sainovic, has given himself up to the war crimes tribunal in The Hague. Mr Sainovic flew in from Belgrade on Thursday morning with another war crimes suspect, Momcilo Gruban, who has also surrendered. Mr Sainovic is indicted for war crimes in Kosovo, while Mr Gruban is accused of atrocities committed in prison camps in Bosnia in 1992. Lawyers for the two men said they had given themselves up voluntarily and would defend their "innocence". Last week, one of Mr Sainovic's co-accused, Dragoljub Ojdanic, became the first war crimes suspect to surrender to The Hague since Yugoslavia passed a law on co-operation with the tribunal last month.
