9 YEARS SINCE THE PASSING OF SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC: Did he die from natural causes or was he murdered?
Nine years has passed since the President of ex-Yugoslavia was found dead in his cell in the Hague Tribunal. He died while he was trialed for war crimes and the crimes against humanity in Kosovo and Croatia and for the genocide in Bosnia.
On the 11th of March 2006, died Slobodan Milosevic, ex President of Serbia and Yugoslavia.
The body of Slobodan Milosevic was transferred from the Hague to Belgrade on the 15th of May 2006, and the next day the coffin was presented for public in the ''May 25th'' Museum as a part of museum complex in Dedinje part of Belgrade.
Thousands of people walked by the coffin. On that very same day tens of thousands of the ex-president supporters gathered in the center of Belgrade to visit the tent where the coffin was placed.
The starting point of Milosevic's undisputed political career was his speech at Kosovo's Gazimestan in 1989, at the celebration of 600 years since Kosovo battle. More than million people attended the speech. Soon after that the breaking down of Yugoslavia started with brief skirmishes in Slovenia, then two bloody wars in Croatia and Bosnia, then clashes at the province of Kosovo and eventually NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.
A law graduate, after many years in this profession, he managed to reach the very top of ex-Yugoslavia's political elite during the eighties. He initiated the Constitutional amendments of the autonomous provinces in Serbia. He was the key figure of Serbian politics in the nineties too.
