MOSCOW. March 11 (Interfax) - The Russian Foreign Ministry on Saturday voiced regret that the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) denied former president Slobodan Milosevic the chance to receive medical treatment in Moscow.

"We know that following the deterioration of his condition Milosevic filed a request to receive medical treatment in Russia. Russian doctors were ready to offer him due assistance and the Russian authorities guaranteed the fulfillment of all the related ICTY requirements. Unfortunately, despite our guarantees the tribunal refused to give Milosevic a chance to get treatment in Russia," a report posted on the ministry website on Saturday says. ml
