Milosevic "Invited" To Vote In Serbian Elections

Former Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic was invited to vote in this weekend's legislative elections, despite having died more than 10 months ago.

The Serb daily, "Press," reports that since Milosevic's death has not been officially registered in the Belgrade district where he lived, "from a legal point of view, Milosevic is still alive."

Elections are set for January 21.

Milosevic died in March 2006 of natural causes in The Hague, where he was being tried for crimes committed during the 1990s Yugoslav wars.
