I have officially insisted that the autopsy not be carried out in The Hague but in Moscow.

Today, I have filed an official request to the tribunal to have the autopsy carried out in Moscow, having in mind his claims yesterday that he was being poisoned in the jail.

In the letter, Milosevic stressed that the main reason that he was not allowed to go to Moscow for medical treatment was the existing fear by some that the careful examination by the Russian hospital would reveal that his health was being systematically destroyed. Milosevic pointed out that during the last five years he had never used any such antibiotics, especially since he never had leprosy or tuberculosis or any kind of infectious disease except for the flu.

I saw his body lying in his cell, and I'm sure that's not true.

Mister Milosevic said there were attempts to poison him in the prison.

The funeral will be in Belgrade.
