Miloševic was born in Požarevac, Serbia. He began his professional life as a banker, working for the Beogradska Banka (Belgrade Bank), at times even residing in New York as their official representative abroad.
He then emerged in April 1987 as the leading force in Serbian politics. His political positions have sometimes been termed as nationalism, despite the fact that his ideology was strongly marked by socialism and other leftist viewpoints. His initial appeal to the nationalists stems from a few of his speeches given in front of a Serbian crowd on Kosovo in early 1987, in which he famously exclaimed that "no one is allowed to beat these people".
After he was elected president of the Belgrade City Committee of the League of Communists, Miloševic publicly opposed nationalism, prevented the publishing of a book of the works of Slobodan Jovanovic , an influential Serbian poet and politician from the beginning of the century. Miloševic also advocated retaining Marxism as a school subject, and publicly lambasted Belgrade youth for their low turnout at the Communist manifestation Day of the Youth, saying they desecrated the character and work of Tito.
His mentor and godfather Ivan Stambolic was the party leader in the Serbian section of the ruling League of Communists of Yugoslavia. In September 1987, Stambolic became the President of Serbia and supported Miloševic in the elections for the new leader, to the dismay of the other leaders in the party. Stambolic spent three days advocating Miloševic's election and finally managed to secure him a tight victory, the tightest ever in the history of Serbian Communist Party internal elections.
Contrary to the liberal reforms of CommunismGlasnost ( Russian: ) was one of Mikhail Gorbachev's policies introduced to the Soviet Union in 1985. The term is a Russian word for "publicity", "openness". Gorbachev's goal in undertaking glasnost was in part to pressure conservatives within the party w in the Soviet UnionThe Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR ( Russian: ; tr. Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik (SSSR) also called the Soviet Union ( ; tr. Sovetsky Soyuz , was a state in much of the northern region of Eurasia that existed from 1922 until 1 at the time, Miloševic quickly took a hard line against liberalism in the party and proceeded to use such a policy to eliminate his political adversaries.
Dragiša Pavlovic , Miloševic's fairly liberal successor at the head of the Belgrade Committee of the party, opposed his policy towards the solving of the issues of the KosovoKosovo and Metohija ( Serbian: Albanian: Kosova , usually called just Kosovo is an autonomous province of Serbia (which together with Montenegro constitutes Serbia and Montenegro). It is currently administered by the United Nations following the recent Ko Serbs, calling it "hastily promised speed". Miloševic denounced Pavlovic as being soft on AlbanianThe Albanians or Shqiptar are a people of the western Balkan peninsula, numbering today approximately six million. Due to the high rate of migration of various ethnic groups throughout the Balkans in the last two decades, exact figures are difficult to ob radicals, contrary to advice from Stambolic. In September 23rd/24th, on the subsequent eighth session of the Central Committee, one that lasted around 30 hours, and was broadcast live on the state television, Miloševic had Pavlovic deposed, to the utter embarrassment of Ivan Stambolic, who resigned under pressure from Miloševic's supporters a few days later.In February 19881988 is a leap year starting on Friday (click on link for calendar).

On March 28, 1989, the National Assembly of Serbia under the leadership of Slobodan Miloševic amended the Constitution of SR Serbia and decreased the autonomy of the two provinces.
On June 28, Vidovdan, Miloševic gave a speech in front of a large crowd on the same Kosovo Field, commemorating the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo. In the speech, Miloševic said:
This speech was widely interpreted to be the official beginning of a Serbian nationalist campaign, one that would be a defining element of the Yugoslav wars a few years later.
This interpretation, however, is wrong according to Miloševic's advocates. The speech was a positive one aimed at unity throughout all peoples in Serbia. Examples of this are:
Miloševic closed with:
Others considered this to be simple demagoguery.
