Monitor Dagmara Albrecht told the UN’s International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals in her latest report that she has not received any new information from the Serbian authorities about the status of the contempt-of-court case against Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj and four of his party members.
