Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was returned to prison today after two days in a military hospital for coronary tests, witnesses said.
A luxury BMW car with blackened windows escorted by a police van and three white security jeeps was seen pulling into Belgrade's Central Prison just after 5 p.m. (3 p.m. Irish time).
Mr Milosevic, 59, had been taken in the same BMW to the Military Medical Academy on Wednesday evening after a team of doctors who examined him in his cell suggested he undergo tests for high blood pressure.
Mr Boris Tadic, Yugoslav Telecommunication Minister and a leader of the governing democratic reform coalition that ousted Mr Milosevic last October, told reporters Mr Milosevic had complained of sporadic chest pain.
Mr Milosevic was arrested on April 1 for alleged corruption and abuses of power. He is also wanted by the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague for atrocities blamed on his security forces in Kosovo.
