The city's district court acted a week after chief U.N. war crimes prosecutor Carla del Ponte demanded information on whether the indictment had been delivered to Milosevic.
The interim National Council (comprised of representatives from the four rival factions and some neutralists and located centrally in Phnom Penh) should be staffed with teams at province and district capitals charged with consulting with and facilitating the work of the U.N. administration.
The district court case was taking place a week before Milosevic's second scheduled appearance before the U.N. tribunal, which will examine progress in preparing his trial, expected to start next year.
