In an ironic twist Milosevic is unlikely to relish, the ex-Yugoslav president, currently being held in isolation, will eventually share confinement with several dozen Serbs, Croats and Muslims accused of war crimes that his policies inspired. "It reminds me of the old Yugoslav National Army," said Simo Zaric, a Bosnian Serb who spent 26 months in The Hague remand centre before being released to await trial at home. In Communist days, all Yugoslav men did national service, and were deliberately sent far from their homes to break down ethnic loyalty. Army units were of mixed nationality to ensure fidelity to the old Yugoslav motto of "Brotherhood and Unity." "Solidarity among Serb, Croat and Muslims is unreserved. We never had an argument of any kind," said Zaric on Sunday in his home town in Serb-controlled northern Bosnia, where he is alleged to have carried out vicious ethnic cleansing of Muslims. Zaric said he was looking forward to meeting Milosevic when he returns for trial in September but would not be starstruck. "Milosevic will need a few days to realise where he is and to accept it," said Zaric. "But I am convinced he will know how to adapt and to get to know the other inmates." Milosevic, the first former head of state to face trial for crimes committed while in office, was extradited to The Hague on Thursday, and is being kept alone and under close watch lest he try to take his own life and deprive prosecutors of their day in court. A convivial atmosphere of shared meals, coffee, and satellite television in his native tongue await the banker- turned-warlord when his guardians decide he is stable enough to mix with the others.
