Mira Markovic, Slobodan Milosevic\'s wife, dies at 76. Mira Markovic, the widow of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, has died in Russia at the age of 76. Her death was confirmed to the BBC by a close family friend, Milutin Mrkonjic. Known as the \"Lady Macbeth of the Balkans\", Ms Markovic was a significant political figure during the collapse of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. She was one of her husband\'s most trusted and influential advisers before he was arrested in 2001 but fled to Russia two years later. Mr Milosevic died in 2006 while being held at the UN war crimes tribunal in the Netherlands. He had been charged with genocide and other war crimes for his key role in the 1990s wars that tore the Balkans apart. They were married for four decades and were almost inseparable until Milosevic\'s extradition.
