Serbia minister regrets Milosevic not tried at home

SALZBURG, Austria, March 11 (Reuters) Serbia-Montenegro Foreign Minister Vuk Draskovic said today it was a pity former President Slobodan Milosevic, who died in UN custody in the Hague, had not been tried in his own country.

''Milosevic organised many many assassinations of people of my party, of people of my family... He ordered a few times asasination attempts against my life,'' Draskovic told reporters at a European Union foreign ministers' meeting.

''What can I say? I can say it's a pity he didn't face justice in Belgrade,'' he said.
