Kay throws in the towel
B92 - October 26, 2004

THE HAGUE -- Tuesday – According to sources close to the tribunal, B92’s Hague correspondent Milos Milic reports that Steven Kay, the British lawyer appointed in September as Slobodan Milosevic’s defense counsel, has officially given his resignation to the Tribunal’s secretariat.

From the beginning of his participation in the trial, Kay was met with a massive boycott by witnesses who would not participate if Milosevic himself was not in charge of the defense proceedings.

Since September 2, Kay was able to convince only five witnesses to testify, out of a list of potential witnesses which numbered in the thousands.

He had submitted a complaint to the court earlier asking to be removed from his position.
