AFP. 25 April 2002. UN war crimes court nets biggest catch since Milosevic. THE HAGUE -- Former Yugoslav army chief Dragoljub Ojdanic surrendered to the UN tribunal Thursday, the most senior war crimes suspect to be turned over for trial since former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic last year. The former general, charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Kosovo, arrived at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on a regular flight from Belgrade and was promptly transfered to the tribunal's prison facility outside The Hague. "He is certainly the most senior military official to have been transfered" by Belgrade, tribunal spokesman Jim Landale told AFP. He said Ojdanic would make his first appearence in court on Friday at 2:30 pm (1230 GMT). Before leaving Belgrade on a Yugoslav Airlines flight accompanied by his wife and his lawyer, the retired general said he was setting out to prove his innocence. "I have nothing to be ashamed of and my conscience is absolutely clear," Ojdanic said in a TV interview late Wednesday. Ojdanic refused to say whether he would testify against Milosevic. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
