...alone deal with such a serious matter as the continuation of the trial or a request for a retrial," Tomanovic told Serbian radio station B92. In Belgrade Milosevic's supporters, invigorated after forming an alliance with newly-elected Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica, are triumphant. "The trial has collapsed," Ivica Dacic, a former aide to Milosevic and a leader of his Socialist Party of Serbia, told reporters. "Even if it resumes, Milosevic's defense will easily prove that all charges against him are false." But Milosevic's opponents aren't giving up. "The trial is way too important to fall through...
...Bottle, New Wine CROATIA The nationalist opposition party, the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ,) triumphed at parliamentary polls, bringing an end to the center-left government of Prime Minister Ivica Racan, below, after almost four years. The HDZ won 62 out of 140 seats, enough to forge a government after picking a junior partner from among about a dozen small parties. HDZ leader Ivo Sanader has committed himself to bringing Croatia into NATO...

The indictment has roused a sleepy Croatian nationalism, opening the door to a legal clash between Croatia - which is challenging the indictment and refusing (so far) to hand over Bobetko - and the U.N. war-crimes court.

Then the money would disappear. "We have no idea where it went," Ivica Misic, head of Bosnia's antiterrorism commission told TIME. He has his suspicions, though. In a case now before a U.S. court, FBI investigators are arguing that Arnaout used his Illinois-based charity and its worldwide offices to fund terrorism operations, including Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda. Benevolence...
...then Ivica knows what fortitude is needed to come back from severe injury. He needed three operations on his right knee and one on his left to repair damage from a 1998 accident. By his gifted sister's standards Ivica was a slow starter, waiting until he was an almost ancient 22 for his first World Cup win. That came in this season's opening slalom at Aspen in November last year, cheered on by his mother, Marica, who said afterward, "Last year, it's my daughter. This year, it's my son." Between his first and second runs Ivica...
