IIRC, Blagojević is blamed by his own party for not offering the place to who Central Committee designated, but went open market. IOW, he did what's usual, just someone up the ladder didn't like it.

And the guys from his ancestral village said, at the time, that Rođa can't do no wrong, they remember him as an all-around good guy, he must have been framed. They should know :).
