Tanjug - March 31, 2003

17:41 THE HAGUE , March 31 (Tanjug) - Former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic dismissed on Monday before the Tribunal in The Hague as an "outright lie" and "malicious interpretation" the claim made by prosecutor Geoffrey Nice that he refused to take the medication prescribed by the prison doctor with the intention of avoiding further trial, and said that after his therapy change his blood pressure was regulated.

"It is an outright lie that I refused to take the medication prescribed by the prison doctor," Milosevic said, underlining that the medication had made him dizzy and gave him insomnia.
