FORMER MILOSEVIC'S ADVISOR TESTIFIES
THE HAGUE, September 7 (FENA) – Former Slobodan
Milosevic’s legal advisor Smilja Avramov appeared before the ICTY on Tuesday as
a witness for the defence in the trial of the former Yugoslav President.
While
Milosevic was in university Smilja Avramov was his professor and afterwards an
advisor in the Yugoslav Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a participant in
negotiations between Croats and Serbs in 1990.
Milosevic
was forced to allow one of his two attorneys assigned to him last week to
question the first defence witness.
Milosevic,
after refusing to meet the two attorneys assigned to him against his will,
again tried to oppose the decision of the judges. “You have taken my rights to
defence, Mr Kay does not represent me, he represents you”, Milosevic told Judge
Patrick Robinson.
The
Judge turned off his microphone saying that he does not wish to listen to the
“same old refrain”.
He
reminded the audience that he would not allow the accused to question witnesses
because that would be against the decisions that were made to protect
Milosevic’s health.
Milosevic
will be allowed to ask questions only after the witness is questioned by one of
the attorneys.
