Belgrade - Former Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic was invited to vote in legislative elections on Sunday, despite having died more than 10 months ago, the daily newspaper Press reported on Saturday."From a legal point of view, Milosevic is still alive as his death has not been officially registered" in the Belgrade district where he lived, the paper said.The former Serbian president died in March of natural causes in a cell of the UN war crimes court in The Hague, where he was being tried for crimes committed during the wars that tore up Yugoslavia in the 1990s.Milosevic was facing charges for war crimes and crimes against humanity over his role in the wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo, as well as genocide for his involvement in Bosnia's 1992-1995 conflict.He had also been asked to vote in Serbia's constitutional referendum in October, with electoral officials claiming that "so far, no one has officially informed us of his death," the daily said.Under Serbian law, either the family or the Serbian embassy in the Netherlands must file a document to confirm his death to the district authorities in Belgrade."As long as this document is not submitted, Milosevic will still be getting vote invitations," the daily quoted a local official as saying.
