THE HAGUE (AP)--Hearings in Slobodan Milosevic's war crimes trial were canceled for Tuesday because the former Yugoslav president is sick, the U.N. tribunal said Monday. Belgrade lawyer Zdenko Tomanovic told Serbian radio that the former Yugoslav president has the flu and a high fever, and hearings may not resume this week. In all, around 60 trial days have been canceled due to Milosevic's frequent bouts with flu and fever, and occasionally to the side effects from stress and high blood pressure.
