Hard-Line Politician Heads to U.N. Tribunal

Hard-liner Vojislav Seselj, who came in second in Serbia's December presidential poll, left for the Netherlands today to hand himself over to a United Nations tribunal that on Feb. 14 indicted him on war crimes charges.

Seselj is accused of "ethnic cleansing" and other atrocities in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1991 to 1993.

He was an ally of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who has been on trial in The Hague for a year, charged with crimes against humanity and genocide. Serbia is the larger republic in Serbia and Montenegro, formerly Yugoslavia.
