Legacy

The last opinion poll taken in Serbia before Milošević's death listed him as the third-most favourably rated politician in Serbia behind then- Serbian Radical Party chairman Tomislav Nikolić and then-Serbian President Boris Tadić. In 2010, Life website included Milošević in its list of " The World's Worst Dictators ". He remains a controversial figure in Serbia and the Balkans due to the Yugoslav wars and his abuse of power, especially during the 1997 and 2000 elections. The public image of Slobodan Milošević in Serbia oscillated between a faceless bureaucrat to a defender of Serbs, while Western attitudes ranged from Milošević being labeled as the "Butcher of the Balkans" to his portrayal as the "guarantor of the peace in the Balkans".
