A hearse has this evening taken the body of former Yugoslav President, Slobodan Milosevic, from the forensic institute where pathologists had conducted an autopsy to Amsterdam Airport.
The body is to remain at an airport mortuary overnight as funeral arrangements for the deposed leader remain uncertain.
Earlier today, a Belgrade court revoked an arrest warrant for Mr Milosevic's widow, Mira Markovic.
This appears to clear the way for a private funeral in Belgrade for the former Yugoslav strongman, who died at the weekend while in custody in The Hague.
The current president of Serbia had ruled out a state funeral for Mr Milosevic.
Marko Milosevic arrived in the Netherlands this morning to claim his father's body. He said he believes his father was murdered.
He was accompanied by Russian medical experts who want to review the autopsy results.
A preliminary report showed that the former leader, who suffered from a heart condition and high blood pressure, had died of a heart attack, but toxicology tests are continuing.
The International War Crimes Tribunal said it expected results later this week.
A Dutch expert said he believed Mr Milosevic had knowingly taken harmful medicines to improve his case for going for treatment to Russia.
However, Mr Milosevic's lawyer said his client had feared he was being poisoned with the wrong drugs in a bid to silence him.
ICTY halts Milosevic trial in The Hague
The UN war crimes tribunal this morning formally halted the four-year long trial of the former Yugoslavian president.
Mr Milosevic, who was found dead in his UN cell on Saturday, had been on trial before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia since February 2002.
The presiding judge, Patrick Robinson, said his death deprived all interested parties of a judgement on the allegations in the indictment.
