Historical Revelations from the Milošević Trial
Controversy over Serbia’s role in the decade of wars in the former Yugoslavia continues.
The trial of Slobodan Milošević unearthed significant new material in documents and testimony,
despite the trials premature end with Milošvić’s death. While there was no legal resolution,
evidence revealed at trial provides a rich resource for historians to further examine some of
the major controversies arising from the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the decade of wars
that ensued.
