Prime Minister Djindjic of Serbia told reporters today that he felt that the law would resolve "all the problems we had with The Hague court and the American administration."

The Hague court, also known as the World Court, decides cases between nations.

The Hague court had indicted seventy-five.

"I expect that I will be summoned either by a domestic or The Hague court at any moment," he was quoted as saying.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Radoslav Brdjanin, 51, and the military chief Momir Talic, 57, have already denied lesser charges at the Hague court.

On October 30, 1990, the Hague court ruled on one issue in the case, finding that Stivoro acted diligently in stating that passive smoking negatively affects health.

In a telephone interview, Mr. Lykourezos said the defense would take the line that it did not "recognize the competency of the Hague court."

First, the legitimacy of the Hague court, which was created specifically to try people for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia.

I am not sure myself whether The Hague court is the most rapid and effective way of dealing with the situation but we are open to all suggestions.

That American proposal ran into objections in the Council, where the Hague court enjoys broad support, and ambassadors said the plan would add expense and delay in an urgent situation.
