Yugoslavia refuses to

hand over war crimes

suspects

Yugoslavia has rejected a demand from the United

Nations war crimes tribunal to hand over three

former Serb army officers for trial in The Hague.

The three men Veselin Sljivancanin, Miroslav

Radic and Milan Mrksic are accused of ordering

the massacre of more than two-hundred and sixty

unarmed Croats at Vukovar, in eastern Croatia, in

1991.

They are due to appear as witnesses at a closed

hearing in a Belgrade military court tomorrow

Thursday.

Representatives of the war crimes tribunal will

attend the hearing and again demand their arrest.

If Yugoslavia fails to comply with the tribunal's

order in sixty days, the matter will be referred to

the UN Security Council.

Yugoslavia has so far refused to extradite war

crimes suspects, saying that it was against its

constitution.
