Belgrade, Serbia

“Anti burial” event planned to coincide with Mr Milosevic’s burial in Belgrade

It seems that there has been a consideration of Slobodan Milosevic’s burial in Belgrade since the Serbian Government’s leading coalition under Mr Vojislav Kostunica decided to make a compromise over Mr Milosevic’s burial place and meet the requests for security guarantees towards Mr Milosevic’s family members, as outlined by Mr Milosevic’s family through Mr Milosevic’s political party spokesman and his lawyer.

It has been said many times that Mr Kostunica, a hard line nationalist represents a fine successor to Mr Milosevic’s ideology, but in addition, it now seems to be obvious that Mr Kostunica has made himself the most cooperative will executor to the wishes of late Mr Milosevic’s political party as well as his family. That may be understandable to some extent, given the fact that his failure to comply with their requests may lead to Mr Kostunica’s coalition government losing majority in the government and therefore losing power altogether, should Mr Milosevic’s political party decide to pull out of a weak majority government coalition.

Expectedly, there’s been a response of a public outcry against such an idea of openly dealing and wheeling with the promoters of Mr Milosevic’s policies, those same policies that have caused the biggest tragedy for the Serbs and their Balkan neighbours in recent history.
