Background
On the 27th of May 1999 in the midst of the NATO bombing campaign, the International Criminal Tribunal of the former Yugoslavia would issue a warrant for president Slobodan Milošević and four others.[1] After the bombing campaign, protests against SFRY president Slobodan Milošević would begin starting in July of the same year.
On the 10th of January the following year, a coalition formed between sixteen democratic parties known as the Demokratska opozicija stranke (Serbian Cyrillic: Демократска опозиција странке, lit. "Serbian Opposition Party", abbr. DOS) with intentions to overthrow Milošević. The DOS would win following the election in late September, though their victory was annulled on the 4th of October.[2][3] Despite this, Milošević resigned shortly after before a second election could take place. While most modern sources misattribute his resignation during the Bulldozer Revolution (5th or 6th of October),[4][5][6] contemporary sources say that he formally resigned on the 7th with Koštunica taking his place.[7][8] On the 17th of November, Koštunica welcomed the idea of opening a branch of the ICTY in Belgrade with the possibility of arresting Milošević.[9] On the 25th of December, the DOS party leader and prime minister Zoran Đinđić promised an arrest for the former president.[10]
On January 2001, concerns regarding a conflict of interest arose when officials also expressed their interest in hosting the tribunal on domestic soil[11] along with comments regarding Koštunica's meeting with Milošević and statements to the press.[12][13] Despite this, Yugoslavian authorities seemed to continue to cooperate with international authorities as they too were building a case surrounding corruption-based charges.[14] On the 23, the Hague would reissue Milošević's warrant with hopes that Koštunica would oblige, though he did not with talks of extraditing Milošević falling through the same day.[15][16] Twelve days later, on the 4th of February, Đinđić announced that the ICTY gave Belgrade until the end of March to hand over Milošević. Unlike Koštunica who was no longer interested in extraditing Milošević, Đinđić was optimistic and cooperative with this ultimatum.[17] Nine days later on the 13th, official authorities stated that police were ready to detain Milošević and on March 20th, nearly a month later, U.N. officials were updated as a former colleague of Milošević said that other former colleagues were aiding in building a case against Milošević.[18] Five days later on the 25th, Yugoslav authorities were fully cooperating with the Hague.[19] As the deadline approached, police would surround the Milošević residence on March 30th.[20] The standoff lasted for about 36 hours and Milošević was arrested on the 1st of April.[21][22] While a bill was introduced to amend a law preventing Milošević's extradition in late March,[23] Koštunica would reverse his stance on extraditing the former president, supporting the bill about three months later.[24] By the 21st of June, Yugoslav officials were preparing to extradite Milošević following pressue from the U.N. and Đinđić would also talk with a U.S. ambassador on the matter on the 27th.[25][26] A day later, Đinđić issued orders to the police to extradite Milošević, ignoring the law and Koštunica. The operation was done in secret with the cooperation of NATO.[27][28]
Release
Oj Srbine prokleta nacijo was released in 2001 by Đukić's label, Božur Produkcija. It is one of three self-released albums without a catalog number and the most recent release from Đukić before his death.
