However, the Montenegrin government, initially enthusiastic supporters of MiloÅ¡eviÄ�, started gradually distancing themselves from his policies. MiloÅ¡eviÄ� installed and forced the removal of several federal presidents (such as Dobrica Ä�osiÄ�) and prime ministers (such as Milan PaniÄ�). The FRY was initially dominated by Slobodan MiloÅ¡eviÄ� as President of Serbia (1989â�∱997) and then President of Yugoslavia (1997â�∲000).
