ZAGREB/THE HAGUE, March 13 (Hina) - The Dutch Embassy in Moscow has issued Marko Milosevic with a visa so that he can travel to The Hague to take over the body of his deceased father, former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, the Dutch Foreign Ministry confirmed on Monday afternoon.

We have issued Marko Milosevic with visas with permission to stay for three days, including Monday, the spokesman for the Dutch Foreign Ministry, Dirk Jan Vermeij, said.

Visas granting seven-day stay have also been granted to four Russian doctors who will examine Milosevic's body, Vermeij said.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, to whom Milosevic wrote from prison on March 10, the day before he died of a heart attack, said earlier in the day he could not believe the autopsy results, adding that Russian doctors would travel to The Hague to examine Milosevic's body and autopsy results.

Zdenko Tomanovic, the legal representative for the Milosevic family, told reports in The Hague this afternoon that the family of the former Yugoslav president wanted him to be buried in Belgrade and that his body would be taken over by his son Marko "today or tomorrow".

Marko Milosevic told the Russian state broadcaster this evening the family was considering the possibility to ask the Russian authorities to allow them to bury Milosevic temporarily in Moscow, until it was possible to organise a funeral in Belgrade.

"That depends on whether they will guarantee safety for my family," Milosevic told reporters in front of the Dutch embassy in Moscow.

The authorities in Belgrade turned down requests that Milosevic be buried in the Alley of the Great Men in Belgrade's central cemetery with full state and military honours.

The 64-year-old Milosevic was found dead in his prison cell on Saturday morning. Following an autopsy, it was reported on Sunday that he died of a heart attack.
