Kostunica convenes Supreme Defense Council...

[Ivo Skoric]

Well, that still means Kostunica will have to decide. Obviously, 
Milutinovic would cast a vote against him being sent to The Hague. 
Djukanovic we can expect will vote for him being sent there. So, it 
again boils down to Kostunica's decision. I understand that he 
would like to dig his head into the sand, but it simply won't work. 
Unless he is willing to resign his function, he will have to decide 
whether to send Milutinovic to The Hague or not. What was that 
saying in English - you can't have your lunch and eat it...
