The speaker of parliament and the main socialist of Serbia is outraged by the image of Milosevic in the new series
The Chairman of the National Assembly of Serbia and the head of the Socialist Party of Serbia (successor to the Union of Communists of Serbia, whose leader was Slobodan Milosevic), Ivica Dacic criticized the new television series “Family”.
According to Dacic, the television series on state television channel RTRS caricatured the Milosevic family.
According to a PolitNavigator correspondent, according to Dacich, in the series “the family tragedy was used for the personal advancement of some of the people who participated in it.”
“They should make a series about how they deceived Milosevic,” Dacic commented on the content of the series to the RTS channel itself. “Those people who arrested him should go to prison because they deceived him, they gave him guarantees [of immunity and non-extradition to the Hague], but what kind of state is this that signs guarantees and then does not fulfill them?”
The socialist leader believes that the series “Family” caricatures personalities and events. Therefore, he asked a counter question: who gave RTS, as state television, the right to finance such a series from “people’s money”, and why don’t the media management make series about their families in a similar vein?
“History will show who has the truth... In addition, you are artificially imposing the thesis that Milosevic is to blame for everything - genocide, wars, bombings,” Dacic emphasized, noting that such series are not in the interests of the state, adding that "Micevic was arrested by mice."

There is a rather ambiguous attitude towards Slobodan Milosevic in Serbian society. On the one hand, he is accused of unprecedented corruption and nepotism that flourished during his reign, as well as the suppression of political opponents, indecisiveness towards the West and separatist entities and the actual surrender of the Republic of Serbian Krajina in Croatia. On the other hand, after his deposition, Serbia essentially lost its sovereignty, which it managed to restore only partially under the rule of Aleksandar Vucic.
