Jovanka Broz, widow of late president and marshal of former Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito, was buried Saturday next to her husband in Tito's mausoleum here, media reported.
Broz passed away at the age of 89 Oct 20 in Belgrade Clinical Centre due to a heart failure.
"Today we do not just say good by to Jovanka Broz, it's also a last fair well to Tito's epoch and time to remember anti-fascism our greatest treasure from our glorious past," said Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic in front of Broz admirers, friends and fellow combatants at Tito's mausoleum named House of Flowers.
As a member of the Yugoslav Partisan Army, Jovanka Broz came out of World War-II with the rank of captain, and was twice decorated for personal courage.
