ATHENS -- Wednesday – According to Greek daily Elefterotipia, The Hague’s chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte will ask Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou to arrange the extradition of all Greeks who cooperated with Serbia during the rule of Slobodan Milosevic.

The Athens-based daily reports that Del Ponte will provide Papandreou with a list of Greek businessmen who violated UN sanctions by exporting oil derivatives to Serbia, as well as Greeks who volunteered to fight in Serb units and supplied weapons.

Del Ponte will request that these people be turned over to the international tribunal as “war criminals”.
