Hundreds of people, many of them elderly, gathered on Thursday to view his coffin at a communist-era museum.
Belgrade authorities rejected requests that the body lie in the federal parliament for public viewing.

The coffin will be on show for two days near the presidential villa where Mr Milosevic was arrested in 2001. He will be buried on Saturday in his home town of Pozarevac in eastern Serbia.

Earlier, Mr Milosevic's body was flown to Serbia from the Netherlands on Wednesday and kept overnight in the mortuary at Belgrade's St Sava hospital.
Mr Milosevic died in jail in The Hague, where he was on trial for war crimes committed during the 1990s.
