Voya could win (and that's a maybe) only because he is the best of the worst choice Serbia has. But he is no star performer or a leader. Leaders are team builders, motivators, people who inspire respect. VK doesn't fall into that category. Serbia has no leaders.

For someone to run on a ticket to get into an office without power, only to declare a state of emergency in order to unseat and unelected manipulative demi-dictator ala Zoran says a lot about the banana republic called Serbia. Anyone even suggesting such a process should be ashamed.

My opinion of Koshtunitsa maybe an opinion, but his inaction and letting himself be slapped around are dispicable facts.

Money doesn't buy votes? Really? Then all the fund-raisers and donations the parties ask for must be for nothing.

Money buys votes - in America. Not in Serbia. In the past 10 years, whoever tried to have a flashy campaign lost the election (remember Panich?). Most of the people live on 100 bucks a month. It is an insult for them to see a candidate spend millions on his election campaign.

There are dozens of potential new leaders of the DSS in the party. We just don't employ the sleaze tactics. It might hurt in the short, but we'll win in the long run - as will Serbia.

VK is perfectly capable of confronting Djindjich. You just have to let Djindjich do his thing. He is his worst enemy. His policies will cost him this presidential election and will surely decimate him come the Parliamentary elections.

Djindjich's oligarchy probably won't live to see 2004.
