Milosevic died in a cell of the detention centre of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague on 11 March during his trial.
Present at the commemoration at Milosevic's grave in the backyard of his family home in the town of Pozarevac were representatives of the association called "Sloboda (Freedom)" and officials of the Socialist Party of Serbia whose leader he used to be.
Earlier in the day, members of the "Otpor (Resistance)" movement, which organised many protest rallies against Milosevic's autocratic rule, symbolically changed the name of the Lenjinova Street in this town 50 kilometres southeast of Belgrade into the Street of Victims of Slobodan Milosevic.
The movement's leader, Momcilo Veljkovic, said that "Pozarevac is not only a town of sympathisers of Slobodan Milosevic's policy, but also of those who think differently".
