Yes, I would think as well, but what's VK hesitating for again? Waiting for Dj. to wake him up with a Labus shake? Dunno!

Dr. Koshtunitsa is not one of the candidates...yet. The Central Office of the party will have a meeting of the General Council on August 24 or 25 and then we'll know for sure. Dr. K. is clever. He's in the shade while others bitch and slander each other. Then he enters the race and wins by a landslide.

Labus cannot win (bar the election hijacking, which is not at all excluded). Djindjich has some very powerful friends in the underworld who would like to keep their privileges intact. Serbia is sliding towards a similar situation that Russia found herself in under Yeltsin. That is if Labus wins. If Dr. K. wins -- which is almost certain -- there might still be hope for Serbia to become a normal country.

BTW, Labus' election HQ is the ex-HQ of the Beogradska Banka, which he and the Governor of the National Bank 'liquidated' this past February and left some 10,000 people jobless. Now they're using a couple of hundred square metres in that building for their election campaign. They have a 6 million dollar budget. Now we know where at least a part of the foreign aid received so far has gone.

Dr. K. has done more than anyone to keep Yugoslavia together. He's still committed to the work and will be committed to it even after he becomes President of Serbia.
