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!
