A spokeswoman for the prosecution said the two had not discussed whether he would agree to testify in the trial against Slobodan Milosevic in exchange for a reduction in charges, and that del Ponte only "explained his rights in the presence of two lawyers and informed him of the normal request from the prosecution for an interview."
O purtatoare de cuvant a acuzarii a facut cunoscut ca cei doi nu au discutat in legatura cu o posibila marturie pe care Milutinovic ar putea sa o depune in procesul desfasurat impotriva lui Slobodan Milosevic in schimbul unei reduceri a propriei pedepse; purtatoarea de cuvant a spus numai ca del Ponte "i-a explicat depturile in prezenta a doi avocati si l-a informat in legatura cu obisnuita cerere a acuzarii pentru audieri".
