Questions:
Asked whether
Rugova was expected to testify in court this week, Joris replied that he would
and that he would testify on Friday.
Asked whether
he was due to testify on Friday only or whether his testimony would continue
on Monday, Joris replied that it would be Friday and possibly until Monday
morning for the examination in chief and then it would depend upon the accused
as to how long it would take.
Asked who would
be tomorrow's witness in the Milosevic case, Joris replied that tomorrow there
would be further crime-base witnesses.
Asked whether,
as reported, there would be a witness testifying this week regarding Racak,
Joris replied that he did not believe so, but he added that he would check
and get back to the media if he was mistaken.
According to
a journalist, Geoffrey Nice announced that this week the OTP Racak investigator
would testify. Asked if this was true, Joris replied that it would not happen
this week.
