The Greek Foreign Ministry in an announcement on Sunday evening, regarding the death the previous day of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, said that "the death of Slobodan Milosevic sealed a tragic era of tensions, crises and wars which plagued the Balkans for almost a decade," noting that "during this era, Milosevic held a central position and responsibility."

The announcement added:” The Court (of Justice at The Hague) will not finally judge him. History, as a strict judge, will judge him."

The foreign ministry announcement went on to say:” The major matter today in the Balkans is not sticking to assessments of the past. It is capitalizing on every possibility for the building of a European future of peaceful co-existence, stability and development for all."
