BELGRADE, OCT 7: Marko Milosevic, the hated son of deposed Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, boarded a plane for Moscow on Saturday along with his wife and child, witnesses at the aiport told Reuters.

"This morning at 8:40 am, Marko Milosevic and his wife and child, left Yugoslavia in a JAT (Yugoslav Airlines) plane. He left for Moscow," a pilot for the Avio Genex company, Milenko Nikic, said.

Marko has an extensive business empire, including an amusement complex in his father's home town of Pozarevac, which has provided him with much wealth and made him an object of scorn among ordinary Serbs.

His business activities were linked to underworld figures, many of whom were expected to have scores to settle in the new Yugoslavia, now to be ruled by Vojislav Kostunica after a popular revolt on Thursday forced Milosevic to concede election defeat.

Slobodan Milosevic said publicly on Friday that he was looking forward to a quieter life and to spending more time with his grandson, little Marko.
