The widow of strongman Slobodan Milosevic – dubbed Lady Macbeth of the Balkans because of the influence she had on her husband – is buried in Serbia.

Workers place the stone onto the tomb of Mirjana Markovic, the widow of former strongman Slobodan Milosevic during her funeral at the yard of his estate in his home town of Pozarevac, Serbia, Saturday, April 20, 2019. Markovic died last week in Russia where she had been granted asylum. The ex-Serbian first lady had fled there in 2003 after Milosevic was ousted from power in a popular revolt and handed over to the tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.

The couple’s son, Marko, and daughter, Marija, did not attend the burial. Those who did included a former president of neighboring Montenegro, members of Milosevic’s Socialist Party and others. Milosevic is widely considered to be the politician most responsible for the bloody breakup of the former Yugoslavia that resulted in the deaths of at least 120,000 people in wars in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo during the early 1990s. The wars devastated the Balkans, forcing millions to flee their homes.

Often wearing a trademark plastic flower in her hair, Markovic was known for “diaries” she published in local newspapers that were widely read because they often predicted future political moves by her husband.

Classic example of Women doing the Crime; Men doing the Time - though Slob the Terrible was no innocent!

Fake news. Milosevic was not responsable for the break up of former Yougoslavia Bill Clinton was. He poked Croatia to break away from Yougoslavia. Milosevic opposed that and NATO bombed the crap out of Serbia.

Hope he's buried so deep he's sitting on devils hot ass pitchfork!

Deep i hope

Out! Out damn Slav! Out, I say.

Rise of far-right in SerbiaInternational white supremacist groups openly hold conferences and meetings in the Balkan state and it's now a favoured backdrop for their propaganda videos but far-right political leaders in Serbia reject the suggestion that they inspire violence. Danger ⚠️ These people are responsible for the genocide against the Bosnians. What? Is this ideological news or we are crazy? More then 20 nations live in Serbia, peacefully and totally equal in rights (including use of their language and education on their language). Really weird. Everyone focus on bad things on Serbia.
