Socialists embittered by ban to visit Milosevic
Tanjug - August 19, 2003

17:38 BELGRADE - The Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) on Tuesday voiced strong protest with a decision of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) administration to ban the visits of its representatives and the Association Freedom for SPS president and former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, announcing it would employ all mechanisms aimed at suspending this decision.

The ICTY administration is "trying to explain" this decision by statements SPS members made after their recent visit to Milosevic at the Scheveningen detention unit, the party said in a statement and added that this was really "an excuse aimed at placing president Milosevic in complete isolation."
