Serbia marks five years since Milosevic overthrow

Serbia on Wednesday marked the fifth anniversary since the ouster of then strongman Slobodan Milosevic, with his democratic successors expressing regret over the slow pace of change since the massive popular uprising. ”There are very few in Serbia today who can be satisfied with the results recorded by Serbia since” Milosevic’s overthrow, said Serbia’s current pro-Western president, Boris Tadic.
