Slobodan Milo?evi?

Slobodan Milo?evi? {{Audio|sr-SlobodanMilosevic.ogg|listen}} (Serbian: ???????? ?????????, pronounced {{IPA|}}; born 20 August 1941) is a former President of Serbia and of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as well as leader of the Socialist Party of Serbia.

Personal

In private, Milo?evi? is patriarchal and conservative, devoted to his family and wife, Mirjana Markovi?, who was his high-school sweetheart. His personality is marked by stubbornness (of which he is proud) and rigid adherence to personal moral beliefs. Modest and unassuming during his years in power, he was often opposed to appearing on state TV, and his presence in the media was consequently rare and discreet. His most devoted followers are older people, pensioners who spent most of their lives in another era, whose moral code Milo?evi? followed flawlessly. His stubbornness and unwillingness to compromise or betray his principles is at least partly to be credited for the political problems and wars which marked his years in power. His unrelenting defence in the trial has also to do with this stubborn personality.
