Milosevic buried in his home town
Slobodan Milosevic was buried at dusk today beneath a favourite tree in the backyard of his family’s estate in his hometown, after farewell ceremonies that drew tens of thousands of nationalist supporters.
As a cold drizzle fell, the coffin of the former Serbian leader – who died a week ago while on UN trial for presiding over some of Europe’s worst atrocities since the Second World War – was lowered into the grave. It was marked with a simple marble slab carved with his name and the dates: 1941-2006.
