Farmer savages Milosevic


THE HAGUE, Feb 21: An aging Kosovo farmer, going blow-for-blow with Slobodan Milosevic at his war crimes trial here, accused the former Serbian strongman Thursday of “unimaginable” cruelty towards ethnic Albanians.

The withdrawal of 49-year-old Agim Zeqiri, the first victim called, was a new setback for the prosecution. Judges suggested his failure to complete cross-examination could compromise the value of his testimony.

Elshani was clearly on edge and steadfastly kept his gaze turned from Milosevic. But the wiry Albanian Kosovar with a balding pate and thin moustache turned out to be a combative witness.—AFP
