In pictures: Return of Milosevic

The body of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic has been returned to Serbia.

Some Serbs have been in mourning for their former leader since his death was announced on Saturday.

Mr Milosevic's son Marko took possession of his body in The Hague on Tuesday.

A van carried his coffin to Schiphol Airport for the flight to Belgrade on Wednesday morning.

Supporters cried as the plane carrying his body arrived in Belgrade.

Officials from the Socialist party received his coffin.

People gathered around the hearse as it left the airport.

Flowers were brought to the family estate in Pozarevac, where Mr Milosevic will be buried.

Bosnian Serb supporters lit candles at a tribute in Lucavica near Sarajevo.

But in Pristina there were reminders of ethnic Albanians still missing from the war in Kosovo.
