Yugoslavia Not to Extradite Milosevic, Premier Says

Yugoslav Prime Minister Zoran Zizic said on Saturday that former President Slobodan Milosevic will not be handed over to the United Nations Hague Tribunal as long as he remains federal prime minister.

"It is degrading for a country to extradite its former president to the war crimes tribunal," Zizic told Radio Pljevlja in an interview, adding that he believes incumbent President Vojislav Kostunica shared this opinion.

The prime minister said that Milosevics guilt should be proved, then the priority should be given to domestic courts.

"The cooperation with Hague Tribunal is also in the national interest of Yugoslavia, but in order to prove what happened during the NATO bombings in 1999," said Zizic.

Zizic also said the Yugoslav government will take actions by its Constitution and other laws against those who committed war crimes, and these people should be tried in Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia's constitution bans extradition of nationals.
