Mira Markovic, Wife of Slobodan Milosevic

HARDtalk celebrates its 20th anniversary with a repeat of one of its classic interviews. Tim Sebastian speaks to Mira Markovic, the wife of former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic, who repeatedly laid theblame for ten years of bloodshed during the Balkan wars squarely at the feet of the West. Mrs Markovic staunchly defended Milosevic, incarcerated at the time of this interview in 2001 in The Hague by the International Court of Justice. In this bruising encounter as her husband awaited trial for war crimes, Tim Sebastian asked her who she thought was responsible for the thousands of forced deportations and the mass murders, and whether she expected her husband to one day be released?
