BEING SEISED of the Request for Alteration of Conditions of Provisional Release filed on 16 June 2005 ("Motion”) by Momcilo Perisic (“Accused”), seeking a modification of the Trial Chamber’s “Decision on Momcilo Perisic’s Motion for Provisional Release" issued on 9 June 2005 (the "Decision"),

NOTING that in his Motion the Accused seeks permission to modify the conditions of release provided in the Decision so that he may travel to his "hometown" Kostunica, "where many members of his family reside and where he can visit the graves of his family members", between 20 June 2005 and 5 July 2005 and "every month" until his trial at the Tribunal begins,

NOTING that the Office of the Prosecutor has informed the Trial Chamber that it will not file a response to the Motion,

NOTING that the only reason advanced for the Motion is the conclusory statement that this "request is reasonable and in the spirit of Mr. Perisic’s provisional release”,

CONSIDERING that this does not constitute an adequate basis for the Trial Chamber to grant the Motion,

PURSUANT to Rule 65 of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the International Tribunal,

HEREBY DENIES THE MOTION, without prejudice to the Accused making a future request for modification of the conditions of his provisional release.
