Podgorica, Yugoslavia
The daughter of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic is campaigning to break up Yugoslavia’s last two remaining provinces. Marija Milosevic, who recently moved from Serbia to Montenegro to be with her Montenegrin fiancé, told the Podgorica daily Publika that she will work toward Montenegrin independence from Serbia—something her father has long been against. Marija had a tough time after Slobodan was arrested for war crimes at his home in 2000. When the cops came to get her dad, she fired a gun at them; later she was reported to have suffered a nervous breakdown.
