Milosevic to See Wife for First Time Since Being Sent to The Hague
Slobodan Milosevic is to see his wife in his jail in The Hague Thursday in their first reunion since the former Yugoslav president was handed over to the UN war crimes tribunal to face trial.
Sources at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport said Wednesday Milosevic's wife, Mira Markovic, would arrive on a regular JAT-flight from Belgrade at 9:30 am (0730 GMT) Thursday.
From there, she will probably go directly to The Hague to visit her husband in the detention centre of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), although the tribunal refused to give details about her itinerary.
An ICTY spokesman said Markovic would probably only have access to the tribunal's prison, situated in The Hague suburb of Scheveningen.
Markovic was Monday given a three-day visa for the Netherlands, under strict conditions, a Dutch foreign ministry spokesman said.
Milosevic's daughter-in-law, Milica Milosevic, who also received a visa, will not be with Markovic, who will be accompagnied instead by a Yugoslav lawyer, according to the Dutch foreign ministry.
