THE MILOSEVIC CASE
John Catalinotto Interviews Sara Flounders
John Catalinotto: Sara, you have been active as a writer and political
organizer since the breakup of Yugoslavia was first threatened in the early
1990s. What was your reaction when you heard that former Yugoslav President
Slobodan Milosevic had died in Scheveningen Prison in The Hague and that the
media was claiming he might have committed suicide or purposely taken
medications that compromised his health?
Sara Flounders: My first reaction was distress that he had died while in the
hands of the same US and NATO forces that had destroyed his country,
Yugoslavia, and which had refused to allow him the medical care he and his
defenders sought, sorrow for his family who had been prevented from visiting
him on a regular basis, and anger that the same demonization of him that had
gone on for the past 16 years spewed out after his death. As an approved
defense witness, I had interviewed with Milosevic on June 28, 2004. I knew
on the one hand how the latest accusations were as contrived and filled with
contradictions as the whole case against him was, and on the other hand how
people unfamiliar with the facts might be deceived by all the lies.
