Louise Arbour - without a visa

The Hague Tribunal chief prosecutor, Louise Arbour attempted Monday without a visa to enter the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, at the border crossing Djeneral Jankovic.

Arbour did not have the necessary papers for entering Yugoslavia, and that was why she was not allowed to cross the border.

Tanjug's reporter on the spot has learnt that two members of her team accompanied Louise Arbour. They also did not have Yugoslav visas.

It has been learnt that OSCE Verification Mission Deputy Chief, Gabriel Keller also accompanied Arbour.

After a short delay at the border crossing, in an OSCE vehicle, Arbour and her team returned toward the Macedonian border crossing.

Arbour said that she was returning to Skopje, from where she would call Yugoslav Justice Minister, Zoran Knezevic. She said she would try again to enter Yugoslavia.
