BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbian retail tycoon Miroslav Miskovic was indicted on Thursday over a disputed privatisation deal, the latest twist in the downfall of one the richest and most influential figures in the Balkan country for the past two decades.

Miskovic, 67, has been in detention since his arrest in December, part of what Serbia's government says is a drive to root out organised crime and corruption as the ex-Yugoslav republic tries to join the European Union.
