Milosevic's Death Kindles Old Tensions
The former Serbian leader, on trial since 2002, dies in prison. Backers suspect foul play, but victims say justice has been denied.
By Alissa J. Rubin and Zoran CirjakovicSpecial to The TimesMarch 12, 2006BELGRADE, Serbia and Montenegro — Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was found dead Saturday in the prison cell where he had spent his final years facing trial on genocide and war crimes charges for his role in the nationalist wars that racked the Balkans in the 1990s.His death in the Netherlands before the long-running trial could end is certain to haunt the region: His victims believe that justice has been thwarted, and his fellow Serbs are divided between those who want to forget the past and those who think Milosevic was himself a victim of an unfair international court.Within hours of his death, apparently of natural causes, Serbian radio and television aired an interview with his lawyer, who said that Milosevic believed he was being poisoned.The assertions made it all but inevitable that the Serbs' sense of victimhood will continue to shadow the region and make unlikely any full reckoning with the past.
Funny, most of the Serbs that I know fall into none of these categories. Who are these idiots interviewing--people on delPonte's payroll?
