Hani i Hotit is shaken by people

REPORTAGE Hani i Hotit is shaken by people The Hani i Hotit border crossing is the gateway where the realm of war meets the rest of the world.

THOSE WHO WILL COME AFTER MILOSEVIC

The New York Times By Steven ERLANGER Weariness is being felt here as a result of the ever-escalating war with NATO, creating a climate for political debate and encouraging the emerging opposition to think about what Yugoslavia will look like after the war, and even after President Slobodan Millosheviç leaves the political scene. All of this remains mere speculation. Millosheviç’s allies have targeted all the opposition leaders as a “fifth column” and “outright traitors,” and portray them as guilty on state television or in the main newspapers. The opposition is weak and fragmented and seems likely to remain so, with a deep divide between those who lead Serbia, such as the Democratic Party led by Zoran Gjingjiç, a favorite of the West, and those who remain under the threat and suspicion of repression and NATO bombs. While the United States wants to get rid of Millosheviç, it is unclear who will replace him. And this is an important matter that should be decided by the Serbs, not abroad. Opposition leaders are thus maneuvering to make the most of the postwar period, as the conclusions of meetings held in Belgrade after heavy bombing of cities such as Krushevac make clear.
