Mirjana Markovic, the the widow of former Serbian and Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, died on Sunday of pneumonia, Tanjug has been able to confirm. According to unofficial information, she died in a hospital in Moscow.
Dragan Radovic from the Freedom Association told Tanjug that he was in contact with the family and that Markovic died of pneumonia after undergoing two surgeries.
Radovic said that she wanted to be buried in Pozarevac next to her husband, but that the family would have the final say on this.
Markovic died in Russia, where she had been granted asylum in 2010 after fleeing from the judicial organs of Serbia who had issued a warrant for her arrest as part of an investigation into the abuse of distribution of state-owned apartments in 2000. Last month, the Belgrade Appellate Court overturned the verdict by which she was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment, after a process that lasted 19 years.
