Stambolic will be buried on April 8 at a Belgrade cemetery with full
military and state honours. On that day, flags on all state
institutions will fly at half mast.
Stambolic was abducted on August 25, 2000 and killed on Mt. Fruska
Gora the same day, according to the results of an investigation into
the March 12 assassination of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran
Djindjic.
The crime was committed by five members of the recently disbanded
Special Operations Unit, also known as the Red Berets.
Stambolic's remains were found several days ago.
