BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro - A Socialist Party aide of Slobodan Milosevic said Saturday that the ex-president was defiant just before his death.

"He told me, 'Don't you worry: They will not destroy me or break me; I shall defeat them all,'" said Milorad Vucelic of the Socialist Party, recounting a phone conversation with Milosevic late Friday. "But it was obvious he was very ill."

Milosevic, who was found dead Saturday in his cell at the Netherlands-based war crimes court near The Hague, was daily in contact with Socialist party officials in Belgrade as he carried out his own defense before the U.N. tribunal.

Vucelic said Milosevic was in "a good mood" on Friday but would not discuss his illness.

"We were supposed to talk more today but when he didn't call, I was a little worried," Vucelic added. "Then I found out what had happened."

Vucelic spoke at the Socialist Party headquarters in Belgrade, where flags hung at half-staff and a huge photo of Milosevic was on display, adorned with a black cloth.

During their phone conversation, Vucelic said Milosevic had been upbeat and satisfied with how his defense case was coming along.

you know very well that the islamist as you portray them are nothing like the middle easterners. They have lived in Yugoslavia for centuries and the majority were communists. Stop fabricating lies. Milosevic was out for himself and power. He screwed the serbs not helped them. He is gone now and what is left. Serbia alone in the wilderness.
