Wreaths at Djindjic's grave were laid by members of his family, Serbian President Boris Tadic who succeeded Djindjic at the helm of the Democratic Party, and other party officials.
Tadic said that each anniversary of Djindjic's assassination was an occasion to raise one question - what has and what has not been done is Serbia - stressing that the fact that no rulling had yet been made in the trial of those suspected for Djindjic's assassination which started in December 2003.
Djindjic, who was received favourably by Western nations, played a prominent role in the presidential elections of the then Yugoslavia in September 2000 and in the 5 October uprising that overthrew the Milosevic regime, and then led 18-party Democratic Opposition coalition to victory in the Serbian elections of December 2000. He became Prime Minister of Serbia on 25 January 2001.
Immediately upon his assassination in March 2003, a state of emergency was introduced in the country.
An investigation has shown that members of the Serbian Interior Ministry's Unit for Special Operations (known as red berets) and mobsters of the Belgrade underworld organised Djindic's assassination.
Following the order from the said unit's commander, Milorad Ulemek a.k.a. Legija, a unit member, Zvezdan Jovanovic, shot Djindjic dead.
Before that Djindjic survived several attempts on his life.
