Coffin of Milosevic flew to Belgrade (Reuters) Updated: 2006-03-16 14:03
Socialist
party officials carry the flag-draped coffin of their late leader Slobodan
Milosevic at Belgrade airport March 15, 2006, after its arrival on a flight from
Amsterdam. The body of Milosevic arrived in Serbia on Wednesday for private
burial in his home town, after two days of behind-the-scenes wrangling by
remaining loyalists for a higher-profile funeral in the capital. The Socialists
plan to display the body in a tent on the sidewalk outside the old federal
parliament in the heart of the city -- the same sidewalk that in 2000 overflowed
with anti-Milosevic protesters yelling "He's finished".
