On April 1, 2001 President Milosevic was arrested and imprisoned by the Serbian Government of the so-called “Democratic Opposition of Serbia,” no formal charges were ever filed against him.

On June 28, 2001, St. Vitus Day, the holiest day on the Serbian Orthodox calendar, the Government of the Republic of Serbia, in a humiliating display of treason, illegally kidnapped President Milosevic   and    handed    him    over    to    the   Hague   Tribunal
