Vote card sent to dead president

Milošević died of natural causes on March 11, before the conclusion of a war crimes tribunal in The Hague over his conduct during the Bosnian war.

The referendum this weekend will gauge public opinion on Kosovo independence.

It follows an amendment to the constitution last month stating that the breakaway region of Kosovo is a sovereign Serbian territory.

Milošević fought a bloody war in the late 1990s to prevent Kosovo seceding from Serbian-dominated Yugoslavia.

The conflict led to a NATO war against Serbia in 1999, in the aftermath of which Milošević was overthrown by a popular uprising.

He was extradited to the Hague war crimes tribunal in 2001 and died of a heart attack while on trial for charges including genocide.
