The survey also found Milosevic – who was ousted in a massive popular revolt nearly five years ago – enjoys more popular backing than the current prime minister Vojislav Kostunica.
According to the research, about 30% of Serbia’s citizens trust Milosevic, who is trailing nationalist Tomislav Nikolic and the pro-Western president Boris Tadic, who both enjoy backing of about 38% of the citizens.
