Former Serbian President Milan Milutinovic died in Belgrade on Sunday. Milutinovic was once one of the close associates of suspected war criminal Slobodan Milosevic.
The death of Milutinovic, who was born in Belgrade in 1942, was confirmed to the capital’s media by the co-ruling Socialist Party (SPS). He was President of the Republic of Serbia from 1997 to 2002.
The United Nations War Crimes Tribunal in the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) indicted Milutinovic in May 1999 for war crimes in Kosovo. The indictment also involved Milosevic and some other Serbian state officials at the time. At the end of his tenure, Milutinovic presented himself at the court in The Hague in early 2003, where he was acquitted of all charges of war crimes in February 2009.
