Milosevic - Slobodan Milosevic (August 20, 1941 - March 11, 2006), who was President of Serbia and of Yugoslavia, was one of the key figures in the Yugoslav wars during the 1990s and Kosovo War in 1999. He was indicted in May 1999, during the Kosovo War, by the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia for crimes against humanity in Kosovo. After demonstrations following the disputed presidential election of October 2000, he conceded defeat and resigned. Less than a year later, he was extradited to stand trial in the The Hague. He died after five years in prison with just fifty hours of testimony left before the conclusion of the trial. Milosevic died of a heart attack brought on by unclear circumstances. Some of his supporters believe that he was murdered in prison prior to the rendering of a verdict by his accusers.
