Editor's Take:
Slobodan Milošević rose to power by appealing to Serbian nationalism as Yugoslavia fell apart. The wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo cost well over 100,000 lives. Millions were forced from their homes. The UN tribunal charged him with genocide and crimes against humanity. He was overthrown in 2000 and handed over to The Hague. His trial ended without a verdict when he died in his cell in 2006. His legacy still divides opinion in Serbia today.
