Mirjana Markovic, the wife of Slobodan Milosevic

The Hague, July 3 - Mirjana Markovic, the wife of Slobodan Milosevic, has not applied for a Dutch visa and her name is on a European Union blacklist denying her entry to The Netherlands, Dutch Foreign Ministry spokesman Frank de Bruin said on Tuesday.

"We have received a request from the tribunal to admit Markovic if she applies for a visa", de Bruin said.

"We have contacted our partners in Brussels in order to be in a position to make such a decision as soon as she asks for a visa, but we have not been authorized by the EU to do so", the Dutch Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

"If Markovic applies for a visa in Belgrade, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be informed on that within a couple of minutes by e-mail", de Bruin added.

"However, we have received no direct application", de Bruin said.
