10/01/2001 (Agence Europe) - In a press release, the Euro-MP on the Bonino List, Olivier Dupuis welcomed the "clear and firm stance" taken by Florence Hartmann, spokesperson for the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia, discarding the possibility of former President Milosevic, indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity, being judged in Serbia rather than The Hague. This stance is all the more important as "we have been assisting for some time now in a strange phenomenon of amnesia in a certain number of Western chancelleries as to the foremost responsibility of the Belgrade regime", says the Belgian MEP, for whom to judge Milosevic in Belgrade would in particular be "unacceptable for countries aggressed, like Croatia and Bosnia which, in extremely difficult political circumstances, found the strength to send to The Hague their compatriots indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal".
