Belgrade - A Belgrade court yesterday sentenced a British reporter to 10 days in prison and deportation for entering the country illegally. Desa Trevisan, who was for many years the Times's Belgrade correspondent, obtained a Yugoslav visa, "but the police officer on duty must have forgotten to stamp her passport with the date of her entry into the country," her lawyer, Mr Djordje Mamula, commented.
The journalist, one of the most vocal critics of the Yugoslav President, Mr Slobodan Milosevic, was the first Belgrade-based foreign correspondent to have her accreditation cancelled by the Yugoslav authorities, in 1994.
