Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who faces aggravated pimping charges in France, says he won't be paid for his first three months as an economic adviser to Serbia's government.

Strauss-Kahn told reporters today he will "work three months pro bono, and then we'll see what will happen."

He did not comment on the charges he faces back home.

The French case revolves around an alleged hotel prostitution ring and hinges on whether Strauss-Kahn knew he was partying with prostitutes and whose money was used to pay them.

His lawyers have said Strauss-Kahn had attended "libertine" gatherings but did not know that some women there were paid.
