Questions:
Asked if the
Miodrag Jokic plea agreement was confidential, Landale replied that it was indeed
confidential.
A journalist
asked whether the head of the ICTY Belgrade Office had left, Landale replied
that, although it was a very complimentary thing to say, Matias Hellman was
not the head of the Belgrade Office. He was the Coordinator of the Outreach
Programme for Serbia and Montenegro. He had done a sterling job and was now
moving on to be replaced by Aleksandra Milenov.
Asked
if the head of the ICTY Belgrade Office was still Deyan Mihov, Hartmann confirmed
it was.
