Funeral of Milosevic







Video of Memorial

Milosevic buried

The coverage I had to look at became so massive that it was necessary to make a second folder just for the funeral of Slobodan Milosevic! There were 50 foreign delegations present despite the non-state nature of the funeral, and the funeral was put off until five o'clock local time, it's about five o clock local time as I write this, Blogger is acting up still. They say it's a server problem...like I'm going to believe that. My mouse is also not in the best shape it's ever been in. I have a deadline too, there's an anti war march locally, I'm bringing my camera so I can take pictures.


Mirjana Markovic definately not at the funeral

Bosnians Divided Over Milosevic

She said what I said!

Sarajevan Esma Jasarevic, 57, was amused that Milosevic was to be buried under a linden tree in his hometown of Pozarevac, rather than in Belgrade's Alley of the Great.

"They are putting him under a tree, like a dog. He wanted to create Greater Serbia but ended up in his own backyard," she said.

20 busses of Bosnian Serbs went to Belgrade for the funeral, leaving at midnight local time.

I think it may be harder for Bosnian Serbs to distance themselves from Milosevic than for Serbs in Serbia.

This man covered the war basically from begining to end.

Comments:
If you look at my posts, on the same day as the funeral, a mass grave was opened in Bosnia-Hercegovina, I put a link to some BBC film of that, with a suitable warning.
I did it precisely because people forget...
Sentimentality is very close to brutality, or at least my late mother always said so.
 
Well putting the grave in the back yard is an excellent way of making people pay to see it, it's on private property and people who don't know any better would pay to see it.
If it were in the town cemetary it wouldn't be worth as much, but with a gated house...yeah.
Pozaravac will prosper from this little memorial..
