The body of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic is shortly due to be flown from the Netherlands to Belgrade.
Mr Milosevic's body will go on display in the Serbian capital, ahead of a burial in his home town of Pozarevac on Saturday, officials from his party say.
Earlier, a Russian doctor reviewing the results of an autopsy conducted on Mr Milosevic agreed with Dutch doctors that he died of a heart attack.
However, the expert concluded that his death could have been prevented.
"That's my opinion, that his death was preventable. Absolutely. Because he had a pathology which is treated at any place in the world at the moment," Leo Bokeria, director of Russia's Bakulev Cardio-Vascular Centre, told reporters in The Hague before returning to Moscow.

An actual headline back in the early Saddam Hussein days: "IRAQI HEAD SEEKS ARMS".
The statue outside the courts of the Hague should be of a Kangaroo with a blindfold on ,carrying a scale tilted to the left.
A cursory glance (and not enough coffee) would lead one to think just his head was going to Serbia.
"That's my opinion, that his death was preventable."
Preventable too were the deaths of all his victims.
All quarter of a million or so, Serbs included, not to mention the economic privation
A problem they faced with old Milo was that it wasn't possible to pin anything on him.
He was in charge mostly with Kosovo; but the hundred thousand dead bodies (quoted by Clint) didn't actually pan out.
Bad things happened in Bosnia, etc.; but in areas outside of Milo's control. There are some real war criminals there (on both sides, although the west took one side and the other is on trial for war crimes); but Milo had no direct power there.
Milo did the Hague a favor by dying, as they could never pin anything real on him and it was starting to become embarassing.
Still, he should have plead guilty of mass murder genocide, just because he'd be out of jail by now. I mean, does anyone actually spend 6 hears (how long his trial has taken) in a European jail any more?
250,000 is an inflated number, usually associated with Bosnia (the MSM claim that "250,000 Muslims were killed"). In fact, the more realistic number is 1/2 of that and includes the victims in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo - of all the ethnicities involved.
