I don't see things as idealistically as you do. But I respect your opinion Banat, although I don't always see things your way. I could say that money does work in Serbia as well. For instance, the Chachak thugs had no problems being hired for political purposes to stage a little revolution for a sizable dollar reward; the B92 crew and the Otpor revolutionary wannabes were even proud to be subsidized. Everyone knows that to have is better than not to have, and to have more is better than to have less. That knowledge transcends all cultures. There is a segment in every society that is open for hire, Serbian not being an exception.
I would like to see Djindjich and his collaborationist gang unseated but I am not so sure that he will be replaced by something much better. VK certainly has the moral fiber that could save Serbia, but he lacks leadership (team-building) talent. Still, given the choices, he is the best Serbia has.
Kosta, you know full well that even without the $$$ those scoundrels would've turned against their own people and country. To quote Cornelius Codreanu - "If I had one bullet left, and an enemy soldier and a traitor before me, I'd shoot the traitor."
I hated those bastards when they were against Miloshevich because I KNEW they would not do the same in case Djindjich turned out to be just another Miloshevich. And I was right (you were too, I am sure). There are some honourable exceptions but the vast majority of Otporashi are just sleazebags. The best example is Cheda Yovanovich.
Koshtunitsa's future Serbian government is not the end. It is just a step towards a more normal country. Let us hope that Serbia will be a better place with each new government.
Pozdrav
