DEKLARACIJA

DRZAVNE DUME

O nehumanom odnosu Medjunarodnog krivicnog tribunala za bivsu
Jugoslaviju prema politickom zatvoreniku Slobodanu Milosevicu

Drzavna Duma Federalne Skupstine Ruske Federacije sa dubokom
zabrinutoscu prima informacije o drasticnom pogorsanju zdravlja bivseg
Predsednika Savezne Republike Jugoslavije Slobodana Milosevica, koji se
nalazi u zatvoru Medjunarodnog krivicnog tribunala za bivsu Jugoslaviju
u Hagu. Prema haskim zvanicnim izvorima, tokom devet meseci trajanja
procesa po predmetu Slobodana Milosevica (od februara 2002. godine)
zasedanja Tribunala su odlagana ukupno cetiri puta, sto cini 31 radni
dan (ne racunajuci dane vikenda), iskljucivo iz razloga loseg
zdravstvenog stanja Slobodana Milosevica. Advokati (amici curiae),
imenovani od strane Tribunala obratili su se sudijama Tribunala sa
predlogom da se proces u predmetu Slobodana Milosevica prekine na godinu
dana iz tog istog razloga - loseg zdravstvenog stanja zatvorenika.

Visoki krvni pritisak u kombinaciji sa anginom pektoris, od cega je
Slobodan Milosevic patio i pre pritvaranja, predstavljaju direktnu
pretnju njegovom zivotu. Iscrpljujuca mnogocasovna zasedanja Tribunala,
odsustvo specijalisticke medicinske pomoci i nemogucnost da redovno bude
na svezem vazduhu pogorsavaju zdravstveno stanje Slobodana Milosevica .

Bivseg Predsednika Savezne Republike Jugoslavije podvrgavaju
ponizavajucem tretmanu, stavljajuci mu lisice na ruke, svaki put kada ga
prevoze iz zatvora u sud i nazad.

Drzavna Duma je vise puta osudjivala delatnost Tribunala, o cemu svedoce
rezolucije Drzavne Dume od 28. juna 2001. godine "O obracanju Drzavne
Dume Federalne Skupstine Ruske Federacije rukovodstvu Savezne Republike
Jugoslavije o nedopustivosti predaje Slobodana Milosevica Medjunarodnom
krivicnom tribunalu za bivsu Jugoslaviju" i od 15. februara 2002. godine
"O neophodnosti utvrdjivanja vremena za okoncanje delatnosti
Medjunarodnog krivicnog tribunala za bivsu Jugoslaviju".

U tim rezolucijama davana je kriticka ocena delatnosti Tribunala,
konstatovano je narusavanje normi medjunarodnog humanitarnog prava i
politicki karakter delatnosti Tribunala.

U vezi sa gore navedenim, Drzavna Duma smatra da prva neophodna mera u
odnosu prema politickom zatvoreniku Slobodanu Milosevicu mora biti
obezbedjenje neophodnog medicinskog pregleda uz ucesce lekara iz
Jugoslavije i drugih specijalista.

Drzavna Duma, u skladu sa Rezolucijom Generalne skupstine OUN 37/194 od
18. decembra 1982. godine, O Principima medicinske etike, koji se odnose
i na ulogu zdravstvenih radnika, a posebno lekara, u zastiti
zatvorenika, obraca se Vladi Ruske Federacije sa molbom da uputi u Hag
najstrucnije ruske lekare radi ucesca u pregledu Slobodana Milosevica.

Predsedniku
Savezne Republike Jugoslavi?e
Gospodinu Vo?islavu Kosstunici
Beograd

Berlin, decembra
2002.g.

Posstovani gospodine Predsednicce,

Evropski mirovni forum ?e visse puta iznosio svo? stav u vezi procesa protiv
Predsednika Soci?alisticcke parti?e Srbi?e i dugogodissnjeg Predsednika
Srbi?e i Savezne Republike ?ugoslavi?e, Slobodana Milossevicca, ko?i se vodi
pred takozvanim Medjunarodnim kriviccnim tribunalom za bivssu ?ugoslavi?u.
Isticali smo da se u Hagu ne odvija sudjenje pojedincu, prema kojem bi se
svako mogao odrediti po svom nahodjenju, vecc u dogadja?u bez presedana u
istori?i medjunarodnih odnosa i medjunarodnog prava: o sramnom procesu na
kome bivssi ssef drzzave na koju je izvrssena agresija, odgovara pred
tribunalom ko?i ?e, krssenjem Povelje OUN, formiran i snabdeven finansi?skim
sredstvima i osobljem od strane drzzava-agresora.

Polazecci od tih ccinjenica, Evropski Forum mira ?e visse puta zahtevao da
se smesta prekine sudjenje Slobodanu Milosseviccu, kao i drugim
?ugoslovenskim gradjanima, i da se nezakoniti kriviccni tribunal raspusti.

Dosadassnji tok procesa ?e neosporno dokazao opravdanost tog zahteva. Razvo?
dogadja?a u poslednje vreme ?e joss jednom potvrdio njegov neodlozzni
karakter.

Obracca?ucci se, posstovani gospodine Predsednicce, danas Vama, imamo u vidu
upravo takav razvo?, puni zabrinutosti za zdravlje Vasseg prethodnika ko?i
pred tribunalom ne brani samo sebe, vecc i pravo i nacionalno dosto?anstvo
svog naroda i vecc odavno ?e od optuzzenog postao tuzzilac NATO-u i ratnim
zloccinima ko?e ?e ta? blok poccinio protiv ?ugoslavi?e. Possto ?e propao
pokussa? da se u rezzi?i tribunala Slobodan Milossevicc baci na kolena,
ccinjeni su i ccine se svi mogucci pokussa?i da se on fiziccki oslabi i
njegova volja slomi nepodnossljivim uslovima u zatvoru i u samom procesu,
beskra?nim sudskim sednicama, bu?icom neprevedenih materi?ala u predmetu,
putem proizvoljnog messanja u unakrsno ispitivanje «svedoka optuzzbe» ko?e
on suvereno vodi, i uskraccu?ucci mu moguccnost odmora.

Ta taktika ko?u ?e nemogucce drugacci?e okarakterisati nego kao podmuklu,
ni?e ostala bez posledica. Prema medjusobno podudarnim, verovatno i Vama
poznatim, di?agnozama neutralnih lekara, zdravstveno stanje Slobodana
Milossevicca, ko?i pati od povissenog krvnog pritiska, slabosti srccanog
missicca, prossirenja leve srccane komore i angine pektoris, naglo se i
pretecci pogorssalo. Prema oceni lekara, njegov zzivot ?e direktno ugrozzen.
Zato su se mnogobro?ne organizaci?e i liccnosti u Evropi i van njenih
granica, medju njima nacionalni i medjunarodni komiteti za odbranu Slobodana
Milossevicca, eminentni nemaccki lekari, cclanovi organizaci?e «Lekari
protiv nuklearnog rata», svetski poznati americcki pisci i profesori,
Drzzavna Duma Ruske Federaci?e, kao i Vecce Republika Vasseg, ?ugoslovenskog
parlamenta, istra?no zalozzili za obustavu sudskog procesa ili barem za
stvaranje odgovara?uccih uslova ko?i bi omoguccili zdravstveni oporavak
optuzzenog ko?i ?e nasilno odveden u Hag. Sem izvesnih privremenih
kozmeticckih korektiva u toku procesa, natovski tribunal se o ova? zahtev
oglussio.

U vezi s tim, obraccamo se Vama, kao na?vissem predstavniku Savezne
Republike ?ugoslavi?e sa najsnazznijim apelom da preduzmete sve ssto ?e u
Vasso? mocci da bi se zasstitili makar zdravlje i zzivot Vasseg prethodnika,
da se on oslobodi iz zatvora, da mu se u otadzzbini obezbedi lekarska nega,
da bi posle zdravstvenog oporavka mogao da kao slobodan ccovek odbrani sebe
i srpski narod od izmissljenih optuzzbi.

Apelu?emo na Vas da reagujete neodlozzno, kako ne biste postali ?edan od
krivaca za novi pretecci zloccin protiv ljudskih prava i ccoveccnosti,
protiv nacionalnog i medjunarodnog prava.

Delu?te odmah, gospodine Predsednicce, dok ?oss ni?e prekasno.

==================================================
Russian Duma is Unanimous: 'Political Prisoner Milosevic' must be Given Proper
Medical Care!
[Posted 13 December 2002]

==================================================

* Declaration of the State Duma *

Concerning the inhuman treatment of the political prisoner, Slobodan Milosevic,
by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia:

The State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation views with deep
concern information concerning the sharp deterioration of the health of the
former President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic who
is being held in the prison of the International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at The Hague.

According to official sources from The Hague, during the nine months of the
process in the case of Slobodan Milosevic (since February 2002) the ICTY
sessions have been disrupted four times, which makes 31 working day (without
weekends), specifically due to Slobodan Milosevic's poor health. The lawyers
(amici curiae) appointed by ICTY have addressed to the ICTY judges a proposal to
make a one year recess in the process in the case of Slobodan Milosevic for the
same reason - the prisoner's poor health.

The arterial hypertension associated with the cardiovascular illness from which
Slobodan Milosevic has suffered since before his imprisonment, is an imminent
threat to his life. The exhausting ICTY sessions, which are many hours long, the
lack of specialized medical aid and the lack of opportunity to get fresh air
worsen the health condition of Slobodan Milosevic.

The former President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia undergoes a
humiliating procedure, which includes being handcuffed every time he is
transported from the prison to the court and back.

The State Duma has condemned the actions of the ICTY more than once in the
resolutions of:

- June 28, 2001, No.1719-III GD, "On the address of the State Duma of the
Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to the leadership of the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia concerning the outlawing of the handing over Slobodan
Milosevic to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia"

- And of February 15, 2002 No.2480-III GD "On the necessity to impose time
limits to the works of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former
Yugoslavia".

These Resolutions made critical estimates of the ICTY's work, emphasizing
violations of the norms of international humanitarian law and the political
character of the ICTY [Hague Tribunal].

In relation to the above-mentioned, the State Duma considers it a priority that
political prisoner Slobodan Milosevic undergo appropriate medical examination
administered by Yugoslav doctors and other specialists.

The State Duma, in accordance with the provisions of UN General Assembly
Resolution 37/194 of December 18, 1982 on the Principles of Medical Ethics,
determining the role of health care workers, in the first place physicians, in
the medical protection of prisoners, requests the Government of the Russian
Federation to send to The Hague highly qualified Russian doctors to take part in
the medical examination of Slobodan Milosevic.

(Adopted unanimously, December 11, 2002)

Note from ICDSM: For the UN Resolution mentioned above go to
http://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/37/a37r194.htm

==============================
We're Taking on The Hague Dec. 16th! Please Help Get us There!
==============================

Slobodan Milosevic has requested to meet with a delegation from his support
committee, the ICDSM. That delegation is going to The Hague the week of 16
December. It includes Quebec Attorney Tiphaine Dickson, whom the ICDSM has
retained as counsel, as well as ICDSM Vice-Chairmen, Nico Varkevisser and
myself, Jared Israel, who are also editors of the Emperor's Clothes Website.

It is very possible that on Wednesday, 18 December, the Tribunal will rule on
two vital issues. One is whether and how to adjust the trial proceedings to
remove the mortal threat to Mr. Milosevic's life. The second is whether to force
unwanted counsel on Mr. Milosevic.

It is very important that we be there to help fight for Mr. Milosevic - and the
truth - through publicity and legal measures. The Tribunal is trying to justify
forcing substitute counsel on Mr. Milosevic based on the false excuse that that
is the only way to protect his health. This is discussed in our motion which can
be read at
http://emperor.vwh.net/icdsm/motion.htm

We are desperately short on cash to cover the expenses of this trip. If you can
help please do so. The ways you may contribute are listed below.

If possible, please help, and ask others who support this work to help as well!

DEc 10th report from Un Tribunal - Secret Witness C-025 vs. Milosevic
jurist.com ^ | Tuesday December 10, 2002 at 8:53 pm | Vera Markovic


Posted on 12/11/2002 4:01 AM PST by vooch


There was another witness, who testified yesterday and today: C-025.
This was another protected Serb from CRO, a former policeman, but
from a region first time introduced - Baranja.


For those unfamiliar, it's a rich flat triangle between rivers Drava
and Danube, almost at the far east of CRO, not far from Vukovar. What
is interesting about this particular piece of Serb-inhabited
territory, it didn't exactly have too many clashes, actually hardly
any.


Thus, any potential witness living there has very little to testify,
and C-025 couldn't and didn't meet the Prosecution's needs. Why they
called him to the stand anyway, it really beats me. Is he one of
those 14 lesser-quality witnesses given up in exchange for the
prolongation of Babic? Or do they consider him a higher-quality
witness? They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.


The man only testified that the Serbian Security Service had been
active on the territory of Baranja (imagine that!), that there were
some weapons distributed to people by somebody, to which he never
witnessed, and that some Croats had been arrested and exchanged later
on. He finished his examination-in-chief in couple of hours, although
Nice dragged each question endlessly. Would you believe that he even
dwelled upon the alleged misappropriation of stolen cars within the
local police force (war crime, no doubt!).


However, Milosevic had a field trip with this one: in a dozen short
descriptions he managed to sum up the happenings in Baranja in 1991-
92, that really showed what the 'war' in CRO was all about. Listen.
(Milosevic finished each one of these descriptions with a
question 'Would you agree with that?', and C-025 agreed each time.)
There were hardly any clashes in Baranja. JNA intervened just once to
divide local Serbs and Croat forces, and prevented any battle to
happen by its mere presence, by placing few armoured cars between the
two sides. The same happened in the nearby Vukovar region, in Borovo
Selo, the difference being that there were about one hundred dead
before JNA stepped in [this was the famous case that triggered it
all, which happened 3 May 1991: the Croatian police first provoked by
putting new Fascist flag in the middle of this Serb village, the flag
was taken down, the police came back tomorrow in few buses with
hundreds of paramilitaries, shooting wantonly around, but the
peasants were ready with their hunting guns - Croats were ambushed,
about a hundred of them got killed and the others were saved by JNA].


C-025 further confirmed that there were several militant extremist
Croat groups organized, openly calling themselves 'Ustasa'. That
there were Serb houses and business premises mined, as well as
POLITIKA representative office in Osijek (major town of the region).
That he personally knew 7-8 prominent Serbs from Osijek, mostly
doctors, holding no extremist views whatsoever, who got killed.


That 57 Serbs got killed in the municipality of Beli Manastir (the
second major town) in the period 1991-93. That after one of such
killings, few villages organized their village patrols. That the
local Serbs from Baranja organized their own military unit, complete
with mortars, uncertain of the possible JNA help they would receive.
That the local Serbs made no attacks upon the Croatian villages or
individuals. That JNA, before it was withdrawn from Baranja as well
as from the whole of CRO, had fought several battles with the newly
established Croatian forces which would always try to penetrate this
area through the Hungarian territory (and Hungary let them!); this is
a marshy region, with an important border army watchtower Torjanci.
The first time the Croats tried to seize it, they came into the mine-
field and got all captured.


The second time, they managed to come by a small village of Torjanci,
where they killed all its Gypsy population, but the JNA fought them
back to Hungary. The third time was interesting: they came via
Hungary with heavy weaponry (mortars, artillery); either they were
invisible or the Hungarians mistook them for their own forces (?);
again they had to retreat with heavy casualties. C-025 confirmed all
that and recognized names of the Serbs killed, quoted by Milosevic.


In short, he turned out to be another witness for the Defence, making
its case to perfection.


Nice must've been mortified, so when he got another chance to
redirect, I expected he would find something strong to pull out this
sinking ship. But look what he came up with. He reiterated about the
illegal arming of the Serbs; C-025 said that "part of it was legal,
which was the arming of the TO (Territorial Defence)"; Nice suggested
so subtly that maybe this 'illegal part of the arming was causing the
disturbance among the non-Serbs, contributing to their moving out of
the region', to which C-025 responded: "Well, I think that part of
the arming had been made in secrecy."


So, the non-Serbs could not have been disturbed by it, could they?!
Poor Nice, he just abruptly ended: "Er… Thank you. That concludes my
redirect."


But, what was really amazing is the more and more obvious expert help
(and I mean intelligence data) available to Milosevic. He not only
quoted all the events, dates, places, even names of villagers, he
also started to quote some seriously fresh info re Croatian current
Security Service.


In the part of his cross-examination aimed at undermining the
credibility of the witness, he quoted some names of local as well as
top Zagreb Counter-Intelligence Service officials, with whom C-025 is
allegedly connected and accused him of being their witness,
instructed by them. He described dates of their phone calls last
month, places of their meeting, organization of the trip to The Hague
from Osijek via Zagreb, even the make of the car used, a Zagreb
tavern of venue, who said what at the goodbye-meeting with the top
brass.


Really scary. Of course, C-025 denied it all, but had to admit he
does "go fishing with Pekic quite often" [Pekic being a local top
official of the Service in Osijek]. You know what makes me believe
there is some truth in it? You remember the witness Mustafa Candic, a
Major/Muslim/ex-JNA Security Service officer? Remember how he spoke
of the 'secret operations for arming of the Serbs, called
Breakthrough 1 and 2' (of which nobody else but him knew the
existence!) and how it was subsequently established that, after
leaving JNA, he went over to the Croatian Secret Service and sold
them his stories, before crossing over to Alija Izetbegovic?


Well, in his testimony concerning weapons, C-025 mentioned 'Operation
Breakthrough'. Now, how could a simple local policeman know about
such a thing, even if it did exists, and particularly if it didn't?!
Obviously, the Croatian Service briefed him and the Prosecution
wanted to use him as another source who would independently confirm
this bogus story.


But, C-025 simply wasn't up to the task; he did mention that, but
somewhat shyly (I hardly managed to notice it) and instead dwelled
endlessly upon the re-registration of stolen cars, as any simple cop
would do. The truth is always so much more interesting and easier to
spin to simple people. You should've heard him while eagerly
confirming every bit of the situation-depicting description that
Milosevic gave.


Keep these witnesses coming, Prosecutor Nice. Another one of even
lower calibre already came - Jeri Laber.

From: "Vladimir Krsljanin" <vlada>
Subject: Appeal again! Read the ICTY President's reply to SLOBODA.

APPEAL AGAIN WITH FULL STRENGTH!
NATO criminals are trying to drown all your appeals!

NATO + Hague Tribunal = Farewell to human

rights!

Attempted murder continues! One has to be happy because their therapy "reduces
the possibility of death by 11 percent"!

The so-called Trial Chamber III of the Hague Tribunal made up to now no formal
decision on the life of President Milosevic. Instead, they will discuss
"administrative issues" on December 18, 2002. For accountants of death, life is
nothing else but an administrative issue.

Demonstrate your disagreement with murder before that date!

Obviously somebody already signed a silent death verdict. Here is the proof - a
letter from the President of the Tribunal:



United Nations

International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia



H. E. Judge Claude Jorda

President



The Hague, 27 November 2002





Dear Mr Raicevic,



I received your correspondence dated 13 October 2002 in which you
share your concerns about Mr Milosevic's medical condition and request his
provisional release so that he may receive appropriate medical treatment in the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.



I wish firstly to inform you that your request does not fall within
the province of the President of the International Tribunal. Pursuant to Rules
65 and 74 bis of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, it is for the Trial Chamber seized
of the case to order the medical examination of an accused and to rule on
requests for provisional release. I am taking the liberty of pointing out to you
that Trial Chamber III ruled on the matter on 6 March 2002.



Moreover, the question of organising the hearings is the
responsibility of the Trial Chamber which ensures the proper conduct of the
proceedings with respect for the rights and health of the accused. In this
respect, Trial Chamber III is taking due consideration of Mr Milosevic's medical
condition when scheduling the hearings. Furthermore, like all the detainees, Mr
Milosevic is receiving close medical attention of a high quality from the
medical staff of the United Nations Detention Centre. As Registrar of the
Tribunal, Mr Holthuis is following the situation closely and will, if necessary,
keep you informed of changes in Mr Milosevic's medical condition.



Yours sincerely,




/signed/


___________________


Claude Jorda



Monsieur Igor Raicevic

President

Assembly of the Freedom Association



What is the March 6 decision? Their refusal of the first request for provisional
release, which was NOT connected with the health situation, seriously
deteriorated in the mean time.

What is high quality close medical attention? It is STILL one visit of the
prison doctor in a week. AND daily visit of the nurse who brings a pill. AND
there is no even nurse during the weekends.

What is the medical staff of the United Nations Detention Centre? It is one
doctor and one nurse.



Yes, they did something more. The Trial Chamber III appointed Dr P.R.M. van
Dijkman, cardiologist from Bronovo Hospital at The Hague to write a report. So,
on November 15 President Milosevic has been examined by a cardiologist for FIRST
and ONLY time. And a report has been written.

Here are several lines from THAT report:



"Cardiac case history: Essential hypertension with secondary organ damage:
hypertrophy of the left ventricle. (...)

In recent weeks during trial again steep increase in blood pressure up to around
220/130 mmHg. (...)

During the tiring process of the trial, Mr Milosevic experiences a condition
that looks like hypertensive urgency. (...)

The treatment of increased blood pressure with medication generally reduces the
possibility of death by 11 percent, of coronary heart disease by 14 percent, of
cerebovascular accident by 33 percent and of vascular diseases (coronary heart
disease or CVA) by 22 percent. (Source: Revised Guidelines for Increased Blood
Pressure, CBO Quality Institute for Health Care). (...)

It can be concluded that with a combination of sufficient rest and medication,
the level of Mr Milosevic's blood pressure will be an acceptable one. (...)

However, it has become apparent time and again during the trial that there are
moments which cause Mr. Milosevic's blood pressure to "get out of hand".

My advice on the matter as formulated in the letter of 19 August 2002 remains
unchanged: sufficient rest periods in combination with antihypertensive
medication to keep the blood pressure at an acceptable level. (...)

I leave it to the Tribunal to decide in what way sufficient rest periods can be
incorporated into the trial. "

Russian MPs urge UN to allow Russian medics to examine
ailing Milosevic

-"The Duma considers it a priority that political
prisoner Slobodan Milosevic undergo medical tests
administered by Yugoslav doctors and other
specialists," read the resolution adopted unanimously
by parliament's lower house.


MOSCOW, Dec 11 (AFP) - Russia's parliament on
Wednesday urged the UN war crimes tribunal in the
Hague to allow a team of Russian and Yugoslav doctors
to examine former Yugoslav president Slobodan
Milosevic, who has complained of worsening health
since his trial opened in February.

"The Duma considers it a priority that political
prisoner Slobodan Milosevic undergo medical tests
administered by Yugoslav doctors and other
specialists," read the resolution adopted unanimously
by parliament's lower house.

It also urged the Kremlin to send "to the Hague
qualified Russian doctors to take part in Slobodan
Milosevic's medical examination."

Milosevic, 61, has fallen ill five times since
February, disrupting his trial on dozens of war crimes
charges at the International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague.

The former strongman has refused to undergo
psychiatric tests for "mental strain", but medical
checks showed that he suffers from high blood pressure
and is at risk of a heart attack.

Russian deputies urged further medical exams because
"the arterial hypertension associated with Slobodan
Milosevic's cardiovascular illness threatens his
life."

While the court's prosecution has some 60 people
helping its side, Milosevic has undertaken his own
defense against some 66 charges of war crimes and
crimes against humanity for his involvement in the
wars in Kosovo (1998-99), Croatia (1991-95) and
Bosnia-Hercegovina (1992-95).

If convicted, the former president could spend the
rest of his life behind bars.

Russia backed Milosevic -- with reservations --
throughout the Balkan wars of the 1990s before finally
rallying behind current President Vojislav Kostunica,
who defeated Milosevic in the 2000 elections.

Russian Communists and nationalists, and leading
Russian politicians such as former prime minister
Yevgeny Primakov, have repeatedly voiced support for
Milosevic and Moscow has expressed deep reservations
about his trial.

Russians want own doctors to examine Milosevic

The Russian parliament has unanimously passed a
resolution calling for former Yugoslav president
Slobodan Milosevic to be examined by Russian doctors.
The health of the 61-year-old Mr Milosevic has
deteriorated since his trial at the Yugoslav Tribunal
in The Hague began in February.

The trial has been suspended five times because of the
former president's poor health. Mr Milosevic has been
diagnosed as suffering from high blood pressure and at
risk of having a heart attack.

Russia has long been a staunch supporter of the former
Yugoslav leader.
