Nothing can be like it was: Merete Morken Andersen and Oceans of Time Oceans have a way of closing in behind you. For a moment, you are there, bobbing in the briny water with the sun glancing off your skin. Then you are under, gone without a trace as those you’ve left behind search for answers to your disappearance. In much the same way, suicide is a death that defies description; it is a disappearance that seeks explanation, not in the act itself, but in the waves that have engulfed it. It is this sort of shadow-play that has propelled Norwegian author Merete Morken Andersen’s <I>Oceans of Time</I> to international recognition. merete morken andersen • norwegian author • norwegian writer • oceans of time • et hav av tid

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. slobodan • milosevic • vojislav • kostunica • djindjic |
