CARLA DEL PONTE SPEAKS IN BELGRADE, 2001-09-04 (photo)

Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic (L) and Serbian Justice Minister Vladan Batic (R) listen to the U.N.'s chief war crimes prosecutor Carla Del Ponte (C) during a short statement after their meeting in Belgrade September 4, 2001. Del Ponte held talks about further cooperation with Serbian officials on Tuesday after signs of disagreement on handing over President Milan Milutinovic to the Dutch-based tribunal. Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic said on Monday that because of presidential immunity Milutinovic would not be sent to The Hague court to face Kosovo war crimes charges following the June handover of Slobodan Milosevic. A spokeswoman for U.N. prosecutor Carla Del Ponte, visiting Belgrade for the first time since the handover of the ousted leader, said local immunity did not protect those indicted by the tribunal for wartime atrocities.
