Miloševic was the leader of the Serbian Communist Party and the president of Serbia from 1989–1997 and of Yugoslavia from 1997–2000. Following the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, he promoted the idea of a “greater Serbia” and supported Serbian militias in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. In 2002, a UN criminal tribunal charged Miloševic with crimes against humanity and genocide; he died, however, before his trial concluded. What medical condition may have played a role in his death?
