	Milosevic found dead in prison cell - Europe - MSNBC.com
		Milosevic's wife, Mirjana Markovic, who was often accused of being the power behind the scenes during her husband’s autocratic rule, has been in self-imposed exile in Russia since 2003.
		Milosevic also was waiting for a court decision on his request to subpoena former President Bill Clinton as a witness.
		Milosevic’s death will be a crushing blow to the tribunal and to those who were looking to establish an authoritative historical record of the Balkan wars.

	Boston.com / News / World / Europe / As Milosevic turns 63, UN judges seek to get trial back on track
		While Milosevic is not charged with ordering specific atrocities, UN indictments allege his policy of trying to create a "greater Serbia" by driving out non-Serbs led to atrocities such as the slaughter of 7,500 Bosnian Muslim males at Srebrenica over a July week in 1995.
		Milosevic has been waiting for three years to be given the opportunity to present his case before the court, to bring his witnesses to the stand as well as to present the defense evidence," his Belgrade legal assistant, Zdenko Tomanovic, told The Associated Press.
		Milosevic, the first head of state to stand trial for war crimes, will be followed by Hussein, who could cite the precedents of The Hague.

	Biografías de Líderes Políticos CIDOB: Slobodan Milosevic (Serbia y Montenegro) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Milosevic, que terminó conociendo a fondo las debilidades e inconsistencias de los dirigentes mundiales, lanzaba nuevos envites, cada vez más audaces e inequívocos, provocaba situaciones límite e incendios cuyo eventual sofoco él se reservaba con exclusividad.
		Milosevic explotó a fondo la no autorización expresa por la ONU de los ataques, a los que calificó de "agresión criminal" contra su país, e implicó de su lado a una Rusia extremadamente irritada por una acción unilateral que no contaba con su aprobación.
		Milosevic era consciente de la peligrosidad que Kostunica entrañaba, porque el antiguo profesor universitario era uno de los pocos líderes de la oposición que no había dado bandazos ideológicos y se había alejado de los personalismos fratricidas estimulados por el régimen, revelándose como una alternativa de poder factible.

		The purpose of this enterprise was the forcible removal of the majority of the Croat and other non-Serb population from approximately one-third of the territory of the Republic of Croatia, an area he planned to become part of a new Serb-dominated state.
		According to the Amended Indictment filed on 22 November 2002 and confirmed on 21 April 2004, from 1987 until late 2000, Slobodan Milosevic was the dominant political figure in Serbia and the SFRY/FRY.
		The Indictment further alleges that Slobodan Milosevic, while holding positions of superior authority, is also responsible for the acts and/or omissions of his subordinates, pursuant to Article 7(3) of the Statute.

	Washingtonpost.com: Serbian Nationalism Lifts Milosevic
		Kosovo was the issue on which Milosevic rose to power in the 1980s, transforming himself from a bland Communist apparatchik to a national leader by loudly defending the rights of the province's Serbian minority.
		Milosevic responded by purging his security apparatus, replacing his police chief and the commanders of the army and air force with loyalists.
		One result of the shake-up, according to U.S. military officials, was to create a solid chain of command between Milosevic and military units in and around Kosovo, including the Yugoslav 3rd Army, which is based in the southern city of Nis and has been a target of recent NATO attacks.

	Chomsky Comments on Serb Election
		The fall of Mr Milosevic began with an election that he called and then denied, spurring the electors to demand that the army respect their decision and protect their sovereignty.
		Milosevic was bad enough, but nothing like the rulers of totalitarian states, or the murderous gangsters the US has been placing and keeping in power for years all over the world.
		But ridding the country of Milosevic doesn't in itself herald a final victory for the people of Serbia, who are responsible for the achievement.

	CNN.com - Court imposes lawyer on Milosevic - Sep 2, 2004
		If Milosevic refuses to appoint his own lawyer, the court could call on the team of independent lawyers, known as "friends of the court," who have been watching the case to ensure fair proceedings.
		Milosevic opened his defense Tuesday by calling his case against him a "treacherous distortion of history" and saying prosecutors had "presented everything in a lopsided manner" to fit their version of events.
		Milosevic faces 66 war crimes charges -- including genocide -- for allegedly starting three wars during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s when more than 200,000 people were killed.

	MILOSEVIC SET TO LAUNCH DEFENSE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Tribunal has allotted Milosevic 150 days in which to present his defense, which is substantially less time than the 283 that the prosecution took to present its case.
		Milosevic wants to call 1,400 witnesses, but this will be difficult to do with only 150 days to present his defense.
		Milosevic also seeks to call the former U.S. president Bill Clinton, the British prime minister Tony Blair, and numerous other Western politicians to testify at his so-called "trial" so that he can question them on the roles that they played in the destruction of Yugoslavia.

		The brunt of Milosevic's contempt, however, is reserved for the political leader of Croatian Serbs, Milan Babic, who in late 1991 fell out with the then Serbian president.
		Milosevic refers to the him as a "fool", "crazy mother-fucker", "idiot", "insolent," "a dumb pig" and "schizophrenic".
		Not surprisingly, Milosevic and his amici curiae have challenged their admissibility, alleging that unfriendly security services may have forged them to prove his complicity in the Bosnian and Croatian wars.

		Milosevic is believed to be living in an official residence in Belgrade, with police protection, since his overthrow in a popular uprising in October.
		The U.N. tribunal indicted Milosevic and four of his closest allies in 1999, charging that his forces had committed atrocities before and during NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia to halt the repression of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.
		Meanwhile, in a separate development, Milosevic's daughter-in-law and grandson are believed to have returned from Russia where they fled with his son, Marko, in the days after he was thrown from power.

	CBC News Indepth: Balkans
		The most visible of Milosevic's alleged crimes was the forced expulsion of 800,000 Albanians from Kosovo in 1999, which led to the NATO bombing campaign.
		Milosevic has been defending himself - but ongoing concerns over his health have prompted prosecutors to demand that the court appoint lawyers to carry on his defence.
		The role of the appointed lawyer ias not to represent Milosevic, but would include ensuring he has access to any submissions to the court, making objections to evidence, cross-examining witnesses, drawing attention to any evidence that might lead to exoneration, and any other action seen by the lawyer as appropriate to ensuring a fair trial.

	Workers World July 15, 2004: Why Hague coiurt wants to silence Milosevic
		Albright is known as "the mother of the ICTY." Supporters of Milosevic believe her presence is connected with the court's decision to postpone the trial and its attempt to change the rules.
		Milosevic's long-time aide, Vladimir Krsljanin, said from Belgrade on July 5, "What we have seen at The Hague is the worst kind of political theater and legal outrage directed at the president.
		At that time, the ICTY and the media presented the Milosevic case as "the trial of the century." That's when the prosecution hoped to use it as a show trial to convict the Yugoslav leader and blame him and the entire Serb people for the wars in the Balkans.

		In this May 24th conversation, Ambassador Milosevic and Jared Israel of the ICDSM discussed many subjects including the New World Empire's efforts to destroy international judicial standards and political discourse; the significance of widespread Russian support for Slobodan Milosevic; and the highly deceptive character of Sept. 11 and the War on Terror.
		The so-called prosecution at The Hague used a few sentences out of context from Milosevic's 1989 Kosovo Field speech to create the false impression that the speech was a call for hatred and war.

	NPR : Milosevic on Trial, A Special Report
		Slobodan Milosevic -- dubbed the "Butcher of the Balkans" by his enemies but considered a hero for those fighting for a Greater Serbia -- faces charges of genocide and "crimes against humanity" for his part in three separate but closely related wars that tore apart the former Yugoslavia.
		Milosevic has refused to recognize the legitimacy of the court and insists on representing himself, rather than seek the assistance of defense lawyers.
		However, Milosevic has dismissed the charges as a conspiracy by Western nations and NATO to end his legitimate rule and hide Western meddling in the region's politics.

		Clark also told the tribunal that based on extensive conversations with Milosevic during political negotiations in the 1990s, he believed that Milosevic was the "guiding force" for the string of ethnic wars in the Balkans and that the Bosnian Serb militias took direction from and reported to Milosevic.
		Clark, now a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, was called as a prosecution witness in Milosevic's trial on charges of war crimes and genocide in connection with the conflicts in Bosnia, Croatia and the Serbian province Kosovo.
		At one point, the former president cited a New Yorker magazine article quoting Army General Henry Shelton, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as saying Clark was removed from his post as NATO commander for "integrity and character issues" and that Shelton would not vote for Clark.

		The testimony given at Milosevic’s trial by William Walker, the former head of the Kosovo Verification Mission, was restricted to the alleged massacre at Racak that provided the pretext for the NATO bombing of Serbia.
		The Bush administration is also concerned that Milosevic has based his self-defence on pointing the finger at his accusers and charging them with war crimes.

	Slobodan Milosevic is Dead
		His bills are mercifully paid by the state (with the exception of his armed and often drunk bodyguards) but his retinue was reduced by law to one ageing personal secretary and one, potentially traitorous, bodyguard.
		Milosevic is known to frequent the offices of SPS (the Socialist Party of Serbia) and complain about his current position for hours, in long and convoluted prose.
		They cannot extradite Milosevic to the Hague not due to a misguided sense of nationalistic pride but because omerta and vendetta - the twin deterrents to snitching - are powerless there.

		The circumstances of the Milosevic case have been transformed by the assassination two months ago of the man who overthrew him in October 2000, the Serbian prime minister, Zoran Djindjic.
		According to the Serb authorities, the assassination was plotted by underworld bosses and Milosevic loyalists in the security services, bound together by their hatred of the Hague tribunal and fears that they might end up before its judges if Djindjic lived.

	The Milosevic Indictment
		It is rather odd to indict Milosevic and company for four hundred odd killings and to remain silent about the several thousand civilian deaths from NATO bombing -- most not intentional, to be sure, but showing reckless disregard for non-combatant casualties.
		What is unprecedented about the Milosevic indictment is that it represents the first time that a sitting leader has been charged with war crimes while those crimes are still going on.
		Although the accused are entitled to the benefit of the presumption of innocence until they are convicted, the evidence upon which this indictment was confirmed raises serious questions about their suitability to be the guarantors of any deal, let alone a peace agreement.

	Counter-Spin as Useful Idiocy, by David Watson
		Milosevic cavils about details, displays a flamboyant indifference to the suffering described, and coldly mocks witnesses, many of them victims of his storm troopers during the planned pogrom against the Albanian Kosovars in 1999.
		Milosevic’s command relationship with the brutal ethno-fascist mini-states that did his dirty work—the now defunct Krajina Serb “republic” and the still extant product of ethnic cleansing and mass murder, the Bosnian Serb entity—should also be obvious.
		Milosevic makes good media; what has been far less reported is the detailed testimony of his victims, the actual terms of the war crimes conventions, or the complex workings of the tribunal itself.
