Wesley K. Clark agreed to take a brief hiatus from his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination to go to the Netherlands and testify at the U.N. war crimes trial of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic. "Because of the historic importance of this proceeding -- the first trial of a head of state before a war crimes tribunal -- I have agreed to appear," Clark said in a statement. He said the U.S. government had authorized his participation, and lawyers from the State Department and the Pentagon would accompany him. His planned appearance at The Hague raises the possibility that questions might arise about a 1994 meeting between Clark and Bosnian Serb Gen. Ratko Mladic, who was later indicted for war crimes. As the supreme commander of NATO, Clark led a 78-day bombing campaign in 1999 aimed at expelling Yugoslav forces involved in a bloody crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. Clark also served as director of strategy, plans and policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the mid-1990s when the United States was trying to negotiate an end to the war in Bosnia. Clark told NBC's "Meet the Press" that in those positions, he spent dozens and dozens of hours in negotiations with Milosevic. "These are conversations that the prosecutor says would be significant," Clark said. "This is about what Milosevic knew, when he knew it, what his intent was, how he viewed situations, how he operated." � 2003 The Washington Post Company www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
