Croatia after Tudjman: New Chance for Democracy
Franjo Tudjman will probably be remembered in history as the father of Croatian independence. His secret pact with Slobodan Milosevic for the partition of Bosnia between Serbia and Croatia has given the signal for the definitive dissolution of former Yugoslavia. With his successful offensives against the Serbs castled in Krajina and Slavonia he has restabilized the territorial integrity of the Croatian Republic. But after ten years of quasi dictatorial regime president Tudjman's death in December 1999 has come as a relief for Croatia's democrats. In January parliamentary and presidential elections have sentenced the victory of the democratic opposition. State president in Zagreb is now Stipe Mesic. New prime minister is the Social Democrat Ivica Racan who has formed a center-left coalition. Both agree to drag Croatia away from Balkan absolutisms towards democracy and cooperation. After ten years of international isolation their ambition is joining the EU and NATO.

Democracy in Yugoslavia: Milosevic´s Final Defeat
After four bloody conflicts Slobodan Milosevic, the “terror of the Balkans”, has met his final defeat. Sixteen months after his last war in Kosovo his criminal regime was finally swept away by a people´s revolt. Beaten in presidential elections by opposition leader Vojislav Kostunica, Milosevic has tried every trick to stay on, but when he ordered to annul the elections, the Serbian people marched upon Belgrade and stormed the Parliament. Yugoslavia´s new president Vojislav Kostunica was warmly welcomed by the European democratic leaders, who have quickly removed most sanctions against the country. But after the forthcoming elections in December the new democratic governments of Yugoslavia and Serbia have the difficult task to reconstruct the economy as well as the democratic institutions and a good neighborhood in the Balkans. First of all the new president must renegotiate the status of Montenegro and Kosovo, two regions trying to pull out of the Federation. Another critical question is the fate of the war criminals, first among them Milosevic, who would not like it to be processed at the Hague.

Democracy Italian Style: Party Talks Forever
After a nation-wide series of corruption scandals in 1992/93 and an electoral shift that replaced large part of the political class and parties in the following elections of 1994, Italian politics seems still all the same. Fifteen years of discussion and three inter-parliamentary commissions have produced - nothing but mountains of worthless paper. The Italian people and the European partners are still waiting for the long overdue reform of the Constitution of 1948, but parties won't agree, because they fear to lose part of their extra-large power extent. Thus the only institutional change in the last twenty years has been imposed by popular decision through referendum. But even this instrument has shown less successful, as a new referendum held in April was thwarted. Now Italian parties prepare to elect a new State President just the traditional way: let's talk about it!

Is there democracy with human rights violation?
Nobody can pretend to be ideal in its actions so nobody should claim that his/her actions are to be followed without any objections Even if there is a relativity in understanding human rights violations we should make clear that the extent of these rights is not relative and that in every case they have universal meaning.
