Miladin Kovacevic, the 6-foot-9-inch brute who has caused an international incident by fleeing back to Serbia to duck charges of beating a Brooklyn college student within an inch of his life, was seen out in public for the first time yesterday working out with his new Serbian basketball squad. When asked about the newest player on his semi-pro squad, his coach Bojan Markovic said, "It's his business. I don't get involved...We hope he will help us improve our scores." Both Senators Clinton and Schumer have been trying to pressure Serbia into extraditing Kovacevic back to the US, but Serbian officials say it is against their nation's constitution. Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic said that Serbia would like to see him return, but that "His decision...is that he does not want to do that."
