Seselj

Trial Chamber orders prosecutors to say whether there was a state of armed conflict in Vojvodina during the time of the alleged crimes in Vojislav Seselj’s indictment.

Seselj's claims that the Tribunal "has deprived him of his right to vote" and is "preventing him from contacting his family" are incorrect. Thirteen detainees from Serbia and Montenegro will vote at the polling station in the UN Detention Unit in Scheveningen on 13 July.

The restrictions, first introduced last December, will be extended until Serbia’s presidential elections on 13 June 2004.

The Office of the Prosecutor wants the Trial Chamber to order Vojislav Seselj to accept its evidence in electronic form or, alternatively, to release it from the obligation to disclose statements sought by the accused.

In his motion, Vojislav Seselj challenges virtually everything: from the legality of the founding of the Tribunal to its jurisdiction in general, and particularly, its jurisdiction over alleged violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of Vojvodina.
