You isolated me from everyone and everything, counting on my human features, well known to you. In three and a half years you have grown fat and tasted all the blackest and worst things from the moment when, by the way, in words, you fall happily and violently. You deceived or destroyed people, organizations, movements, the state … Deceived and destroyed, they become your haunted mirror.
These are the words with which Ivan Stambolic, former senior official of the League of Communists and president of the Presidency of SR Serbia, addressed his “executioner” in March 1991, a man whom he discovered, trained, taught everything. that he knew appointed to high positions and allowed him an unexpected promotion, and thanks to the one who lost everything that was important in his life, in the end his life, to his old friend Slobodan Milosevic!
The letter, which is the leitmotif of the fourth episode of the “Family” series, was prophetic. It was written during a demonstration in March 1991, and appears to have been compiled in March 2001, the day Milosevic was arrested. Because in that letter, everything that will happen to the Serbian people in those ten years and that, in the end, will happen to Milosevic himself is planned and affected.
In the letter, Stambolic unequivocally warns Milosevic about what will happen to Yugoslavia, Kosovo and Metohija and Serbia, all because of the way he leads it:
– Sometimes it seems to me that you understand and love Serbia only for its dark side … You don’t know, Slobodan Milosevic, who the Serbs are or what Serbia is! Therefore, Slobodan Milosevic, go … Only with irrevocable resignation will you be able to convince your fellow citizens and the whole world that you did not want to create the Balkan apartheid of Kosovo, the ruin of Yugoslavia and an abandoned martyr from Serbia.
Ten years later, on the night between March 31 and April 1, 2001, Milosevic lived his last hours as a free man. Awaiting the outcome of the chaos that became his arrest, after more than a decade in power, all the words that his old friend and mentor directed him were left. And they all came true.
From the eighth session to Kosutnjak
And it all started a few years before Stambolic’s letter, in September 1987, at the eighth session of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Serbia, in which probably the most controversial “was born”, and it turned out to be the most controversial. failed ruler in modern Serbian history.
With the shouts of an endless mass from Kosovo Polje, echoing in his ears after the famous “no one can beat you,” Slobodan Milosevic, the then chairman of the SCS Central Committee Presidency, entered the session determined to finally deal with thanks to whom he found himself in this position he seized all the long-awaited power for himself.
Milosevic was a long-time friend and one of Ivan Stambolic’s closest associates. As he shifted between senior management and political positions, he dragged Milosevic behind him and made him his deputy. In April 1984, Stambolic stepped down as chairman of the City Committee of the Belgrade Sports Committee to head the Central Committee of the Belgrade Sports Committee, and appointed Milosevic as his successor to head the Belgrade Committee, despite from the opposition of the older and more experienced Communists
After the regular change of party leadership in Serbia, in January 1986, Ivan Stambolic became the president of the Socialist Republic of Serbia, and gave Milosevic decisive support during his election as the new chairman of the Central Committee Presidency. of the Communist Party of Serbia. . And then you make the biggest mistake, which will cost you your life later.
After embracing the party apparatus and rallying the majority of the cadres around him, Milosevic will initiate a process he called “differentiation” in the eighth session. He expels Dragisa Pavlovic, the then president of the Belgrade party organization, from membership in the Central Committee of the Serbian Sports Club, and deals a final blow to his former friend Ivan Stambolic.
Stambolic soon resigned, was expelled from political life, and in the following years became one of the fiercest critics of the Milosevic couple’s government. After he seriously staggered and the end was near, on August 25, 2000, a mysterious white van entered the forest in Kosutnjak, where Stambolic regularly raced. He reached Stambolic, paused for a moment, and was never seen alive again.
The mystery of the white van
Stambolic’s body was found buried in Fruska Gora on March 28, 2003.
The Milosevic family is responsible for his death, and they feared that Stambolic could be the one to remove them from power in what will later become known as October 5. Branko Bercek, a member of the JSO, was convicted as the direct author of the murder. The JSO commander, Milorad Ulemek Legija, was later sentenced to 40 years in prison along with him.
Just over seven months later, several people with ghosts in their heads jumped out of the white truck that smashed the gate of Villa “Mir” in the early morning of March 31, 2001. Stambolic’s killer, Branko Bercek, is supposed to have he was among them. The ghost boys tried to break into the villa, this time not to receive orders, but to arrest their former “boss” and prepare him for extradition to the court in The Hague.
The symbolism is creepy and the circle is closed. The man who killed Stambolic arrested his executioner Milosevic. This symbolically closed the circle of perhaps the ten most unfortunate years in modern Serbian history.
Only the white van roamed Serbia for some time. At least symbolically. Somewhere there until March 12, 2003.
