 Slobodan Milosevic
Slobodan Milosevic was born August 29, 1941 in Pozarevac, Yugoslavia (Serbia).
Milosevic’s symbolic rise from bureaucrat to demagogue is given in two journalistic accounts as having occurred during a public meeting in Kosovo on April 24, 1987.4 Speaking before a crowd of Kosovar Serbs who were being brutalised by mosty Albanian police, he heard their cries of “They are beating us!”.
Neither Milosevic nor Tudjman had quenched their thirst for blood with this conflict, however, and when Bosnia-Herzogovina, a majority Muslim province of Yugoslavia with signifigant Serb and Croat minorities, declared its secession in 1992 it provided an ideal opportunity for the two leaders to bring out the knives and carve out new fiefdoms.

 The Hague Showdown - by Nebojsa Malic
The Inquisition claims Milosevic condoned "ethnic cleansing," even as its chief backer – the United States – organized, instigated and supported the Croatian ethnic cleansing of Serbs in Krajina and Bosnia (1995) and the Albanian expulsion of Serbs from Kosovo (1999+).
Of course, Milosevic is hated by many in Croatia, Bosnia and the Albanian-occupied Kosovo, as the arch-villain responsible for all their suffering.
While Milosevic and his family have certainly given people plenty to be bitter about, that does not explain the extent to which he is hated.

 The Demonization of Slobodan Milosevic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Milosevic, Sell complains, had a "commitment to orthodox socialism." He "portrayed public ownership of the means of production and a continued emphasis on [state] commodity production as the best guarantees for prosperity." He had to go.
Milosevic, we are repeatedly told, fell under the growing influence of his wife, Mirjana Markovic, "the real power behind the throne." Sell actually calls her "Lady Macbeth" on one occasion.
Milosevic might have reluctantly agreed to that, so desperate was he to avoid a full-scale NATO onslaught on the rest of Yugoslavia.
