Slobodan Milosevic's death

The ex-president of Yugoslavia was found dead in his prison cell at the UN War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague on March 11. Since 1999, he had stood accused of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in The Hague. His trial began in February 2002. He was accused of having committed 66 war crimes in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo during the Balkan Wars in the 1990s. The European press discusses the repercussions of MIlosevic's death for Serbia, Southeast Europe, Europe and the UN tribunal.

The Independent - Gran Bretaña

"Milosevic brought shame and disaster on the great Serb people. They are now known in far too much of the world as the people who perpetrated aggression and killing at places such as Srebrenica," Paddy Ashdown, a former high representative of the international community in Bosnia (May 2002-January 2006), writes in a commentary. "In the end the Serbs realised who he was, which is why they got rid of him. But Milosevic fooled too many Western statesmen for too long. The intervention came too late. The scales fell from the eyes of the international community over Kosovo. If they had realised earlier he was not part of the solution but part of the problem, tens of thousands of people would have lived and millions would not have been driven from their homes".

Delo - Eslovenia

Milosevic combined fascism and socialism, says Ervin Hladnik-Milharcic, and stresses that he had great support in doing so: "From one stage to the next, he won election after election by a convinicing majority. It's not what he did that's so shocking but the fact that the nation backed him. Now that he's dead there is the danger that this could be forgotten. Millions of accomplices will assert that they didn't know what Milosevic was doing." (13/03/2006)

Neue Zürcher Zeitung - Suiza

"His sudden death means that he can no longer be sentenced, and when you think of Milosevic's cynicism and the way he mocked people and facts, it's difficult to control your anger, writes Serb author Bora Cosic. "Because of his extraditon and because my people have such a vivid imagination and are so sadly naive, I can already see how the former dictator will continue to haunt them. This is simply because they feel that they have no leader, that they're marginalised and have no sense of belonging. That's why the dead dicator will continue to haunt them... I wonder how long it will take us to free ourselves of this ghost. Slobodan Milosevic's life on earth has come to an end, but he has still not paid for his most evil and necrophilic deeds."

Süddeutsche Zeitung - Alemania

According to author Richard Swartz, the symbiotic relationship between Milosevic and his wife was a Balkan speciality. "Slobodan Milosevic and Mira Markovic were the Serb counterparts of Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu in Romania, Enver and Nexhmije Hoxha in Albania, Todor Zhivkov and his daughter Ludmilla in Bulgaria. We see a man in power, but behind him stands a woman, and she's the one who really rules. Bonds of blood take precedence over all other loyalties, whether to people or ideas. This profound alliance of power is characterised by a slight madness, nepotism, and all kinds of bizarre and extravagant projects; by astrology and occultism and, if necessary, a fanaticism that does not shy away from violence."

Népszabadság - Hungría

"It was thanks to television that Slobodan Milosevic came to power.... And he ended his career in The Hague in the knowledge that the trial would be watched on television by millions of viewers back home," writes Serbian-based György Szerbhorvát. "He was aggressive. He never stopped smiling that familiar, cynical smile of his. Sometimes his face was red, but he never appeared to be in a desperate, bad mood, and certainly never ill. It's not true that he was a convinced communist or nationalist. He was interested in power, and to achieve it he became a great actor who knew very well how to do one thing: use television to his own advantage." (13/03/2006)

Libération - Francia

For editorial writer Gérard Dupuy, the trial and death of the former Yugoslav president, Slobodan Milosevic, illustrate the limits of European policy. "If practically no voice is being raised in defense of Milosevic, this reproving unanimity must not make us forget that at one point he came close to success in what must be called the last war of conquest in European history, whose code name was 'Greater Serbia'. By remaining passive for too long, the Europeans allowed this evil ambition to take hold and sow widespread disturbances which only American firepower was ultimately able to stop. Right up to the uneasiness caused by his death, which spells the end of a largely unsatisfying trial, Milosevic showed a contemptuous mirror to his Old Continent cousins." (13/03/2006)

Dagbladet Information - Dinamarca

Torben Krogh disputes the accusations that the war crimes tribunal in The Hague worked too slowly. "The trial was to be conducted under full observance of the legal security of the accused. This is what distinguishes a society which respects human rights from the regime led by Milosevic. Meanwhile, the international community pronounced judgement on him long ago. What was missing on his death was the judge's sentence, which would have been particularly important for the families of the many victims of his brutal regime.... Nobody - excepting, perhaps, the Serb groups that continue to regard him as a hero - doubts that Slobodan Milosevic was a war criminal of the worst sort." (13/03/2006)

La Repubblica - Italia

The Bosnian filmmaker Danis Tanovic, whose film 'No man's' won the Oscar for best foreign film in 2002, reacts to Milosevic's death in an interview led by Laura Putti. "Slobo is dangerous even in death. Today, many Serbs consider him a martyr. I am scared to see how nationalist Serb groups will react. ... Serb policy has not changed. As long as the [Serb] president Boris Tadic continues to support the nationalists, it won't be possible to renew ties with Bosnia. Bosnia's problem is that it shares more then half of its border with Serbia. And when something goes wrong in Belgrade, it has repercussions in Sarajevo." (13/03/2006)
