One day after Yugoslavia arrested its former leader, Slobodan Milosevic, the U.S. released $50 million for assistance. The U.S. says Milosevic's arrest shows that Yugoslavia is cooperating with the International War Crimes Tribunal. But so far, Yugoslav authorities are resisting efforts to extradite Milosevic so that he can stand trial on war crimes charges in the Hague. Is Yugoslavia truly cooperating with the war crimes tribunal and is it time to welcome that country back into the international community? And what's ahead for Yugoslavia and its current president Vojislav Kostunica?
