Serbian Socialist Party Vice Chairman Slavica Đukić Dejanović says there were several offers that came from outside Serbia, and that allowed Milošević to continue his life in a completely different way.

– He could have hidden abroad, changed his identity, but did not even consider those offers. He was fully aware that his surrender and going to Bacvanska prison were only one step away from going to The Hague. For him, Professor Markovic was the sole authority. He spoke to her briefly and no offer came into play. Milosevic calmly prepared to go to prison. Since there was no electricity or water in the villa in Užička, he shaved with acidic water under the generator lights; recalled the event on the eve of the famous night between March 31 and April 1, 2001.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Nikola Sainovic says the most serious offer to Milosevic was related to Russia.

– A Russian plane should have come to get him and he should continue to live as his family did later. However, neither he nor any of us considered such options. He said that you could not be the supreme commander of the army in the war, which suffered so much, and escape when it was all over. It was operationally and technically feasible to change identity without anyone knowing. A Petar Petrović was passing through the border with a passport and he didn’t even have to know the country we were coming to. And then when the new authorities arrived, it was said that they would not create a problem for the removal of Milosevic. I can’t tell you the name, but it was on sale. I repeat, none of us thought to use it – said Sainovic, who ended up in The Hague after Milosevic.
