The High Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade has changed the indictment against Mirjana Markovic. She is the the widow of former President of Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Slobodan Milosevic. Indictment changed against Milosevic widow The prosecution thus prevented the statute of limitations for the criminal prosecution against her from expiring, the prosecutor's office spokesman Tomo Zoric said. The criminal offense of illegal mediation and encouragement has been changed by the prosecution to abuse of office, which is punishable by imprisonment from two to 12 years, ensuring that the time allowed for the case will not run out, which otherwise might have taken place on October 13. The prosecutor's office also proposed that Markovic should be tried in absentia because she is currently at large, Zoric said, recalling that the Interpol red notice for Markovic is still in force. The proceedings against her have so far been separated from other cases against defendants charged for illegal allocation of housing owned by the Serbian government who are tried in the Belgrade High Court. The proceedings were to expire on October 13 this year, because Mirjana Markovic had been charged for using her former social position as president of the Yugoslav Left by mediating in an illegal allocation of an apartment to a health-care worker in the city of Pozarevac, eastern Serbia, in the period between September 1 and October 13, 2000.
