Hague seeks extra time for Milosevic case
Beta - April 24, 2003

THE HAGUE -- Thursday – The Hague Prosecution has asked for an extension of the deadline to finish its evidence against Slobodan Milosevic.

An additional 117 days are needed to complete the case, says the prosecution.

The original deadline given was until May 16 this year; it was later extended until September 5 because of the former Yugoslav president’s ill health.

To date the prosecution has spent about 180 days in court presenting evidence.

In its submission the prosecution argues that the Belgrade offensive on organised crime could lead to new “insider” witnesses agreeing to testify against Milosevic.
