Christopher,
The Serbs realize that they ONLY SOURCE of economic assistance they can EVER look forward to will stem from Europe.
There is NO CHANCE that the EU will provide that assistance so long as Milo is in charge.
Either way, it will force Serbs to make a choice and then suffer the benefits or repercussions from that choice.
A lot of people cut the Serb people slack and try to say that most of them opposed Milo and only support him because NATO is bombing them for some reason they don't quite understand.
Declaring Milo a war criminal and then focusing on the evidence to substantiate the charges will refocus the issue on the atrocities that have been perpetrated by the Serb Gov't, military, and ultimately Serbian "boys".
Many Serbs choose not to believe that theirs boys serving in the military could be responsible for such crimes. The Russian people thought the same thing in the early days of the Afghan invasion. We thought the same thing in Vietnam (until My Lai) about our troops.
The key is now to force the Serbs to either support Milo as a war criminal and thus, by default, become direct parties to those crimes, or take more direct actions aimed at opposing and forcing him to step down. (Let the SOB find refuge in Moscow or Bejing).
We've shut their power and water down, it's hot and they are getting thirsty. Thirsty, frustrated Serbs may just find the gumption to do what they should have done years ago, overthrow Milo and crew.
If they don't, I have little sympathy for them.
Regards,
Ron |
