MOSCOW, March 13 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Foreign Ministry said Monday that ex-Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic had sent a letter to Moscow criticizing his medical treatment in The Hague and asked to undergo a course of treatment in Moscow.
"Milosevic's advisers handed the Russian Embassy in the Netherlands a letter to the Russian Foreign Ministry on March 11, which we received yesterday afternoon," ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said.
Kamynin said a group of Russian doctors were prepared to head for The Hague at the request of Milosevic's relatives, in particular, his brother Borislav, to observe the autopsy.
Slobodan Milosevic, who was on trial for war crimes at the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, was found dead in his cell in The Hague Tribunal's prison March 11. Preliminary reports suggest he died of a heart attack.
