Hundreds gather at Milosevic's grave
About 500 people gathered today at the grave of former Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic to mark the traditional Orthodox six-month mourning period.
The die-hard supporters and believers swarmed to the Milosevic family estate in the drab industrial town of Pozarevac 37 miles east of Belgrade, where he was buried under a tree.
Milosevic died on March 11 while on war crimes trial before the UN war crimes court in the Netherlands.
“Six months after his death, it is clear how important his role was,” said top Socialist party leader and former Milosevic associate, Milorad Vucelic.
Tearful, mostly elderly people walked in a quiet procession by Milosevic’s grave in the garden, under a lime tree of the now vacant estate.
