The presiding judge, Patrick Robinson, said that, to be considered, the request must be made in writing with adequate guarantees.
Milosevic suffers from a heart condition and high blood pressure, which have slowed down his trial, now in its fourth year.
Milosevic is charged with genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes committed during wars in Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo in the 1990s. He has been held in the court's maximum security detention center since 2001.
