By Prof. Dr. Kastriot Islami Throughout the campaign, Serbia’s new president, Vojislav Koshtunica, declared that he “would not give up his deep nationalist feelings”; he promised that he would not hand over the war criminal Millosheviç; in Kosovo, he will be remembered posing two and a half years ago, smiling, with a Kalashnikov in his hand; while in Bosnia, no one will be able to forget his consistent defence of Karaxhiç. This is the fundamental reason why Serbs voted for Koshtunica; these are some of the arguments for why Koshtunica is considered just as nationalist as all his political predecessors from Belgrade. Meanwhile, at his first meeting in Biarritz, from what he said and, especially, the way he expressed his ideas, Western leaders perceived that “his suit was liberal”, as the lifting of the embargo on the FRY was being discussed. So the question arises: are we dealing with a sophisticated successor or a genuine opponent of Millosheviç? Koshtunica’s electoral slogan was “we will change nothing in order to change everything”. On the other hand, a compatriot analyst of Koshtunica would declare that “Koshtunica is not the future of Serbia, but a person needed to take the first step, to remove Millosheviç, and that is all.” A little of the history of the ousted couple. Slobodan Millosheviç — without parents and without friends Mira Markoviç — of doubtful origin Midosay Stevanoviç, author of the book “Millosheviç, an epitaph”, one of Millosheviç’s contemporaries who lived in Belgrade for about thirty years and is now in political asylum in Paris, writes among its 400 pages: Of all those around Millosheviç, there is not one man who can say anything positive about him, or who trusts him. Belgrade’s closed circle had brought to light all the nameless and talentless creatures surrounding the “strongman” and organizing the great media noise. As for his wife, the situation was even worse: she was an artist with no talent, stubborn and irritating; the idiots and incompetents surrounding Mira were more devilish than the demons themselves.
