Accusations fly after Milosovic death


Borislav Milosevic has said his brother, Slobodan Milosovic , did not commit suicide and accused The Hague of his death today in an interview with CNN. But his family history is in the spotlight as it was revealed that both Slobodan’s parents had committed suicide. But conspiracy theories are already abound after it was also revealed that the former President of Yugoslavia had written a letter to his soliciter expressing fears that he may have been poisoned. The letter was written the day before his death. Carla Del Ponte, the Chief Prosecutor at the Hague, said she was frustrated at the accusations. She said Milosevic’s escape from justice made it imperative that other war criminals be brought to trial as quickly as possible. A statement was issued saying that Milosevic had died of a heart attack [BBC], but that further toxicological tests were being carried out. Newspapers in Serbia led with headlines of the leader’s death, some accusing The Hague of his murder [BBC]. The Serbian government is now under pressure to hand over Radovan_Karadzic, Ratko Mladic and others who are accused of atrocities committed throughout the wars in Bosnia Hercegovina and Kosovo. Posted by Picasa
