Vasojevići

BELGRADE - Today marks 16 years since October 5, 2000, and the overthrow of the then president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) Slobodan Milosevic, after mass demonstrations of supporters of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS).

Serbian Foreign Minister and SPS party leader Ivica Dacic says that when he spoke about "the guilt of Slobodan Milosevic" he had that of Serbia in mind.

Members of Slobodan Milosevic’s Socialist Party and Serbian nationalists mourned the former Yugoslav president a decade after he died in prison in The Hague during his trial for war crimes.

Zoran Ivosevic, a legal expert and former president of Serbia's Supreme court, told BIRN that there was no direct link between the demand by Miskovic's legal team for his bail payment to be refunded and a court ruling that his rights had been violated by extended custody.

After a hearing on Tuesday before the Serbian police on charges of spreading racial, religious and national hatred, Mladenovic has told BIRN that the accusations were a "Kafka-esque political process" orchestrated by Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic.

Sainovic told reporters after he arrived at Belgrade airport late Wednesday that he was not guilty of war crimes but felt responsible for what happened during the conflicts in the 1990s.
