Milosevic’s death “will let to preserve accusations against Serbians”


“Slobodan Milosevic’s death will cease the investigation of many episodes of ethnic clashes in the Balkans in the framework of the International Tribunal on former Yugoslavia, as the only accused in it was Milosevic,” prominent Serbian historian and columnist Miroslav Jovanovic.

According to Jovanovic, most charges against Milosevic had no solid evincive basis.

However, now, Serbia’s opponents can repeat these accusations once and again, and there will be no prosecution on these accusations.

By the way, as Jovanovic stressed, the accusations presented against Milosevic were mostly accusations against Serbians, and conviction of Milosevic were intended by many as conviction of Serbians as a whole.
