European Tribune - Comments - Serbia's Election: Get Ready to Declare Fraud!!!

Serbia's Election: Get Ready to Declare Fraud!!! | 23 comments (23 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Quote:
It should be obvious that the parties who refuse to play footsie with the EU on Kosovo won the majority of the votes.
----
This is true.But as you said before:
Quote:
This is where Western journalists are mistaken: the label of pro-European is not naturally dialectically opposed to the label of Nationalist.
----
or opposite...For example DSS are nationalists but at the same time they claim they are pro-European if EU is willing to take Serbia in it's borders (with Kosovo in it)...Kosovo is a main point in this election and it will make "cat and mouse sleep together".That's why you can see leftists (SPS) , centre (DSS) and right (SRS) talking about coalition. That is incredible...

Re: Que? (none / 0)

It would be nice to have a diary on the Serb political spectrum...

Re: Que? (none / 0)

Not only that I am not an expert (all though I have an interest in politic) but my English language ability is limited. There is nothing that I would like more then to be able to explain to you more about Serbian political situation even as an amateur. I'll try here and there but to make a diary is too ambitious for me...sorry. There are few people here that at least understand the concept of that mess and I thank them for trying to put their views in a form of diary here.

Maybe vladimir could write it and you could comment on it?

Re: Que? (none / 0)

That's very nice of you to volunteer me Migeru. :-)
I'm (as we all are) quite busy with numerous professional and private activities - which makes this kind of a commitment kind of difficult... I'll see what I can do. -> Upstate NY is another ET member who is very well informed of Balkan politics.

Yes, but he's Greek(-American).

Take your time, after all there won't be another election in Serbia for a while...

Greek-American, without the parens.

Trust me, this change is duly insisted upon whenever I'm in Greece or Cyprus.

Hey, I'll be in Athens and Sifnos this August! I can't wait. Long live our Greek brothers.

Re: Que? (none / 1)

Touche.

You're exactly right.

I'm making the same generalization as those I'm criticizing.

Unfortunately I sometimes feel forced to use their labels.

Plus, it seems as though DSS may actually be allying with the Radicals, which would seal that Nationalist label under their name.

Not that they really give a shit.
