Attorneys Zdenko Tomanovic and Dragan Krgovic had been expecting to meet their client at the UN remand centre in the Dutch city around noon (1000 GMT) after flying in from Belgrade. But Tomanovic told Reuters as they arrived at the International Criminal Tribunal building to request permission to see Milosevic that baggage they were bringing to the ousted leader had gone missing at Schipol airport and had held them up. It had still not been found. Tomanovic was also quoted by Yugoslavia's Tanjug news agency as saying one of two suitcases had disappeared. "The suitcase with Mr. Milosevic's personal belongings has been lost and we spent an hour and the half at the airport persuading the authorities to find it," Tomanovic said. He said books were in the other suitcase, adding that the one which has been lost contained items Milosevic needed for Tuesday's arraignment hearing in The Hague when he is expected to enter his plea to charges of crimes against humanity. "Among other reasons, he needs these personal belongings for his first appearance in the court on Tuesday when he is expected to enter his plea," Tomanovic told Tanjug. "Today, we should discuss with Mr. Milosevic the elements on which our defence will be based and a possible expansion of the defence team." 06:35 07-02-01 ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
