Milosevic and a former chief of the security agency of the interior

Draskovic), are suspected of ordering Stambolic's murder, while
the executor was Branko Bercek, a member of the Red Berets.
After being abducted on August 25, 2000, Ivan Stambolic was taken to
Fruska Gora and killed there then thrown into a lime pit. His body
was discovered during a police investigation into the
assassination of Serbia's Premier Zoran Djindjic. Stambolic was
buried in Belgrade on April 8.
