Regional Report: Milosevic's Curious Legal Advisers
Of the many curiosities of the Slobodan Milosevic trial, one of the biggest is the operation of his legal team.
Officially, of course, Milosevic has no lawyers: having declared that he fails to recognise the court, he conducts his own defence.
Yet behind the scenes, a powerful group of Belgrade lawyers is working for him. Milosevic is in constant contact with these men by phone, email and fax.
Some would argue that they’re more of a personal propaganda team than legal counsel, dealing more with attacks on the tribunal and its staff and backers than the intricacies of the legal jousting played out in The Hague's Courtroom Number One.
These lawyers – who include Zdenko Tomanovic, Dragoslav Ognjanovic, Momo Raicevic, Branimir Gugl, Veselin Cerovic - first started working for Milosevic when he was arrested on April 2, 2001 and charged with financial crimes.
He never went on trial, though. Instead, to the furious opposition of the then-Yugoslav president Vojislav Kostunica, Milosevic was spirited away to face war crimes charges at The Hague.
Milosevic kept his legal team in place. They replaced his former lawyer, Toma Fila, enjoying the utmost trust of the Milosevic family.
Fila had previously represented the

The Hague, The Netherlands – An autopsy showed that a heart attack killed Slobodan Milosevic, the U.N. war-crimes tribunal said Sunday evening in a terse announcement that served only to deepen the mystery over the circumstances surrounding Milosevic’s abrupt death just as his prolonged trial was finally nearing an end.
The autopsy result was disclosed as new evidence emerged that Milosevic, the former Yugoslav president found dead in his prison-cell bed Saturday, had been taking medicine not prescribed by his physicians, including an antibiotic known to diminish or blunt the effect of the medicines he had been taking for heart and blood-pressure problems.
Whether he had taken that antibiotic deliberately or for some other reason was unclear, but one of Milosevic’s legal advisers said Sunday that Milosevic knew something was wrong and had expressed fear in a letter written one day before he was found dead that someone had been trying to poison him. The U.N. tribunal has dismissed the poisoning speculation and has not ruled out suicide.
The death of Milosevic, 64, sent shock waves through the tribunal here, putting it on the defensive just as a defining moment in the history of the Yugoslav war-crimes prosecutions appeared at hand.
