PROSECUTION


Florence Hartmann, Spokeswoman for the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) made no
statement.



QUESTIONS:



Asked about
the postponement of the Prosecutor’s visit to Belgrade last week, Hartmann
replied that they have not, at the moment, scheduled a new date for the visit.


Asked about
news reports from Belgrade that the transfer procedures for the three officers
from Vukovar are to start tomorrow and whether the Tribunal is ready to receive
not only Mr. Milosevic but other indicted people, Hartmann replied that the
Tribunal was expecting all indicted persons residing in FRY to be transferred
to The Hague. She added that on the question of the three from the Vukovar
indictment, she has not received confirmation on this issue.


Asked whether
the Prosecution has direct communication with the Department of Justice department
in FRY, Hartmann replied that the OTP did have contact with the Department
of Justice and perhaps it was just a question of timing this morning. She
added, that it was important for the Department of Justice to work on the
concrete list of sealed and public indictments and understand that they have
to send all of the indicted people currently residing in FRY to The Hague,
as soon as possible.


Landale added
that on behalf of Registry and Chambers, they were ready to accept and accommodate
all individuals indicted by the Tribunal who were still at large.



Asked if it
was true that there was a helicopter waiting for Milosevic to take him to
Scheveningen Landale replied that the Tribunal does not comment on operational
matters no matter what the allegation. The security and transfer of indicted
individuals are not discussed, he added.
