The Hague - The former Yugoslav leader, Mr Slobodan Milosevic, celebrated his 60th birthday yesterday behind bars, with only his wife, daughter-in-law and grandson keeping him company as he awaited trial for war crimes at the UN tribunal here.
Even his family was barred from bringing Mr Milosevic a birthday cake because jail overseers refused food from being brought in, said Mr Dragolav Ognyanovic, a lawyer travelling with Mr Milosevic's wife, Ms Mira Markovic.
