On the question of Serbian territorial expansion, Nikolic recently explained that it would be one thru politics rather than warfare. I’m hoping to see him expand on this comment.

Most people don't know that Serbia has the largest number of refugees of any country in Europe There are around 500,000 Serbs and some others (including Albanians and Gypsies) still in Serbia from the wars in Croatia, from Bosnia, from Kosovo -- all of them driven into Serbia proper back in the 1990's. Many of these people came to Serbia with nothing more than the clothes on their backs and many still haven't recovered from losing everything -- their lives, their homes, their family members. And there isn't a single Serbian politician who can avoid addressing the issues of these refugees in some way.

I suspect that Nikolic's way of dealing with the refugees is to tell them that he will work politically to get them back to their homes. If so, that isn't "Serbian military expansionism". It is simply giving hope to people who lost all hope, along with their homes and their old lives. Is it false hope? Well, Nikolic is a politician, and I don't trust the promises of our politicians, so why should I believe the promises of any of theirs?
