Allies to welcome Milosevic remains

Slobodan Milosevic’s body may be put on public display ahead of a funeral later this week, a top ally of the late Serb leader said today, and a family confidante said he could be buried in his hometown.

Milorad Vucelic, vice president of Milosevic’s Socialist Party, said he and other party officials would welcome the former president’s remains at the Belgrade airport at around 3pm (2pm Irish Time) today.
