JP/P.I.S./841-e
MILOSEVIC DEFENCE CASE TO START ON 22 JUNE 2004
Please be advised that the Defence case in The
Prosecutor v. Slobodan Milosevic will commence on 22 June 2004 and not on 8
June 2004, as previously scheduled. The Pre-Defence Conference will now be held
on 9 June 2004, instead of 17 May 2004.
In its Order of 5 May 2004, the Trial Chamber considered that the material filed by Mr. Milosevic on 13 April 2004, including his list of proposed witnesses, still needed to be translated and would need to be examined before the Pre-Defence Conference took place. Furthermore, the Trial Chamber considered Mr. Milosevic’s bad health during the three month period assigned for the preparation of the Defence case, his present bad health and his doctor’s advice to rest.
