Milosevic funeral today
Slobodan Milosevic was to be laid to rest today with a private funeral expected to draw tens of thousands of followers – their admiration unshaken by the fact he was on trial for some of Europe’s worst atrocities since World War II when he died.
Milosevic died a week ago in his room in a detention centre near the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, which was trying him on 66 counts of war crimes, including genocide – the first head of state to be extradited by his country for trial by the UN court.
