Milos Minic, 89; Communist Official in Former Yugoslavia
Milos Minic, a former top Communist Party official who served as state prosecutor at the trial of a key anti-communist leader in the former Yugoslavia, died Friday. He was 89.
Minic died in Belgrade, Serbia-Montenegro, the independent news agency Beta reported. No cause of death was given.
Minic was a close associate of former Yugoslav Communist dictator Josip Broz Tito, who took power in the six-republic federation after World War II and ruled it until he died in 1980.
Minic joined Tito’s Communist Party in 1936, and fought in its units against the Nazis during World War II.
After the war, Minic became the state prosecutor and held that post until 1950.
