Serbia's former president, Slobodan Milosevic, known as the “Balkan Casap, on 28 June 2001 had been extradited to The Hague after the war crimes indictment in Kosovo was made public on May 27, 1999.
Milosevic is later charged with crimes even in Croatia and genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He was extradited at the Serbian government's order. Milosevic had been arrested in Belgrade on 1 April 2001, after being responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
Milosevic's trial at The Hague began on February 12th 2002 and was interrupted dozens of times because of the cardiovascular problems he had and high blood pressure.
Extracting evidence of crimes in Kosovo and Croatia and genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina has lasted until 25 February 2004. His defence began in late August 2004.
On February 22nd, Milosevic said he was no longer able to continue questioning witnesses, while on February 24th his request for recovery is rejected in Russia.
On March 11, 2006, at 9:30, he was found dead in his cell.
