Milosevic Scorns Court as Charges Mount
- Share via
Slobodan Milosevic poured new scorn on the U.N. war crimes court, refusing to plead to “fabricated” charges as the counts against the ex-Yugoslav president mounted.
At his third pretrial appearance since his June transfer to The Hague, Milosevic remained defiant as the Kosovo indictment against him was expanded to include charges of responsibility for sexual assault and to add tens of thousands to the number of ethnic Albanians allegedly deported in 1999.
He refused to plead to an extra Kosovo count of crimes against humanity, or to a new indictment accusing him of spearheading a drive against non-Serbs in Croatia in 1991-92.
