Mirjana Markovic and Marko Milosevic, who are wanted on Interpol warrants, have received asylum in Russia. Daily Blic says that the wife and son of the late president, Slobodan Milosevic, received asylum prior to the New Year holidays. Russia grants asylum to Milosevic's wife, son In spite of receiving asylum, the international arrest warrants remain valid, and are in force in all other countries. If they appear in the territory of any other country, they will be arrested and extradited to Serbia, writes Blic. Markovic and Milosevic left Serbia after October 5, 2000. Since then, both have been in contact with Serbian media, not hiding the fact that they are in Russia, and that they had applied for asylum. Markovic left Serbia in February 2003, right after the murder of Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. Until Operation Net in 2007, she had only been charged with abuse of powers, by coercing former government secretary Zivka Knezevic into illegally allocating a flat to a nanny that had looked after her son, Marko. However, in June 2007, further charges were brought against her when the police launched an operation against tobacco smugglers who had defrauded over DM 10mn during the nineties. Police identified one of the groups concerned as being led by Markovic, together with Marko Milosevic and Bojana Bajrusevic. Marko left Serbia on October 7, 2000, straight after the democratic changes. However, an Interpol warrant for his arrest was not issued until June 15 last year, when he was implicated in a cigarette smuggling ring, writes Blic. Mira Markovic, Marko Milosevic (Fonet, archive)

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
