Die-hard supporters brave the snow to pay tribute to Milosevic

THE coffin holding Slobodan Milosevic’s body went on display yesterday to die-hard supporters.

A large framed colour photograph of Milosevic was placed in front of the casket inside Belgrade's Museum of Revolution, a gallery once devoted to former Yugoslav dictator Josip Broz Tito.

Dozens of mourners stormed into the museum once it opened, shouting "Slobo! Slobo!" But after the initial chaos, a line formed with people passing by the closed casket with heads bowed, some sobbing, others making the sign of the cross. Those waiting outside lit candles.
