ICTY Weekly Press Briefing 
  
              Date: 27.10.2004 
  
              Time: 12.00 p.m. 
  
Registry and Chambers: 
  
Jim Landale, Spokesman for Registry and Chambers, 
              made the following statement: 
  
Good afternoon,  
  
	I can confirm that the Registry has received 
              a request from Steven Kay and Gillian Higgins for their withdrawal 
              from their role as assigned counsel in the Milosevic case. I would 
              underline the fact that at this point it is a request. Both assigned 
              counsel are still assigned to the case until there is a decision 
              otherwise. Copies of that request for withdrawal to the Registry 
              will be made available to you once this briefing has concluded.
             
  
  
	The President of the ICTY, Judge Theodor Meron, 
              will conduct an official visit to Croatia on 4 and 5 November 2004, 
              at the invitation of the Croatian Government. This will be the first 
              official visit to Croatia by President Meron.  
  
During the two-day visit, President Meron is due to meet with the 
              Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of 
              Justice, the President of the Supreme Court and the President of 
              the Republic. 
  
Discussions are expected to focus on general aspects 
              of cooperation between the ICTY and Croatia, and the Tribunal’s 
              completion strategy. 
  
  
Aside from the continuation of the Krajisnik, Oric 
              and Hadzihasanovic and Kubura trials next week:

Office of the Prosecution: 
  
  
Florence Hartmann for the Office of the Prosecutor 
              made no statement. 
  
  
Questions: 
  
  
Asked what the next step would be, Landale said 
              that in most cases, pursuant to the Directive on Assignment of Defence 
              Counsel, the request would be to the Registrar and it would be for 
              him to decide. Of course this case was slightly different in that 
              the counsel were assigned pursuant to an Order from the Trial Chamber 
              and so it could well be that the Trial Chamber would need to rule 
              on the matter. That would be something he expected to be determined 
              in the course of today, Landale said.
