The International Committee Slobodan Milošević mourns the death of
Prof. Dr. Mira Marković
10 July 1942 – 14 April 2019
We, the members of the ICSM, commemorate the life and work of comrade Dr. Mira Marković, who worked all her life for a socialist Yugoslavia. As a patriot, she fought together with her husband, President Slobodan Milošević, against the NATO-induced wars that tore Yugoslavia apart, against the final NATO aggression in 1999 and against the Western puppet government installed in Belgrade after the coup d’état of 2000.
Dr. Markovic was born in Požarevac, Yugoslavia, during the German fascist occupation. She was the daughter of a communist family. Her mother, Vera Miletić, was arrested by the Gestapo and murdered soon after her birth. Her father, Momcilo Marković, who fought in the People’s Liberation Army,was a high Serbian official of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia after the liberation of the country from fascism.
She studied sociology at Belgrade University and was an activist in the communist student movement. She obtained her doctorate and was appointed to the post of professor. She was also a member of the Russian Academy of Social Sciences, an honorary professor at Moscow State University, and published numerous books.
In 1965 she married her great love, SlobodanMilošević with whom she had two children Marija and Marko, who they deeply loved.
When the Communist League was transformed into the Socialist Party of Serbia led by Slobodan Milosevic, Dr. Marković called for the founding of the Yugoslav Left Party and was its leading personality until the coup d’état in October 2000 that was provoked by NATO, George Soros and other “humanitarians” from the NATO countries.
In 2001, the Western puppet regime installed in Belgrade ordered the illegal abduction of Slobodan Milošević to The Hague where he was placed in the the former Gestapo prison for political prisoners. They then began the persecution of Dr. Markovic, filing fabricated charges and issuingan international warrant for her arrest in 2003. Her life and security at risk, she was forced to flee to Russia and live in exile. As a result, Mira could no longer visit her beloved husband in prison while he was forced to endure the NATOshow trial at the ICTY.
The cruelty of the NATO and EU countries and their paid errand boys in Serbia, towards her was shown when they prevented her from attending President Milošević’s funeral in 2006 after he was murdered in The Hague; a cruelty the more heart breaking since the love between her and her husband was limitless. We will never forgive or forget this cruelty.
We are deeply indebted to the Government of the Russian Federation for protecting Dr. Marković and her son Marko from political persecution by the “Western Democrats” and for granting them political asylum. Their life in exile in Moscow was made endurable with the help of the Russian government and the support of friends and family.
Throughout her ordeal of being separated from her country and from her husband, she kept writing and expressing her views to keep alive the flame of socialism and progress, and to keep alive the flame of patriotism for the people of Serbia.
The world left mourns the loss of a comrade. Serbia mourns the loss of a patriot. We all mourn the loss of a great woman, wife and mother, and a friend.
