MOSCOW, March 14 (RIA Novosti) - A group of Russian cardiologists has left Moscow for The Hague to study the autopsy results of Slobodan Milosevic, health officials in the capital said Tuesday.
Milosevic, 64, who was on trial for war crimes and genocide at the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, was found dead in his cell in The Hague Tribunal's prison March 11. Preliminary reports suggest he died of a heart attack.
On Monday, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow had the right to question the results of the autopsy, as Russia had been ready to offer the former president of Yugoslavia medical treatment in December 2005, but the proposal was rejected amid fears that Milosevic would flee his trial.
