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.
