Serbian police filed criminal charges against 45 people yesterday in connection with the murder of the Prime Minister, Zoran Djindjic. The suspects include the ultra-nationalist leader Vojislav Seselj and two aides of the former Yugoslav president Vojislav Kostunica. Mr Seselj surrendered to the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague in February.
