Nice, who led the prosecution of former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic to the International Criminal Court, said he could not say if that could happen.
He noted that there are difficulties in the current system that must be overcome to help it happen.

Nice has been involved in the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. He was the chief prosecutor in Slobodan Milosevic's trial at The Hague and initiated the prosecution's initial case for linking atrocities committed in the former Yugoslavia.
