- 2002 : the trial began at The Hague, with Milošević defending himself. He was constantly putting in doubt the legitimacy of the tribunal. The trial implied hundreds of witnesses. The prosecution took two years to present its case in the first part of the trial, which covered the wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo.

- March 11th, 2006 : Milošević was found dead in his prison cell. He died of a heart attack, the Tribunal confirmed.
