Belgrade
The chief suspect in the 2003 assassination of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic turned himself in this week to face charges of murder. After nearly a year as a fugitive, Milorad Lukovic, a former special forces commander who is believed to have been the mastermind behind the killing of Djindjic, made a drunken phone call to police, telling them where to come get him. Djindjic, a beloved pro-Western democrat who helped topple Slobodan Milosevic, was killed by a sniper who confessed and implicated Lukovic.
