Serbian police question billionaire retail tycoon Miskovic


BELGRADE (Reuters) - Billionaire retail tycoon Miroslav Miskovic, one of Serbia's most influential figures, was questioned by police on Monday as part of what the nationalist government says is a drive to root out graft, a key condition for joining the European Union.

Miskovic is among the richest people in Serbia, with an empire - Delta Holding - first created under late strongman Slobodan Milosevic and expanded after his ouster in 2000.
