I always took the 6.6mm figure to include the HillBillies in Podgorica.......of course one needs to allow for the some 200,000 fraudulant voters in Quislingist controled B-grad ( acording to VK himself)

BTWS How many votes did VK actually end uo with ?

So, what happens now? Any educated guesses?

I'll only comment if there is a chance of winning a prize...

Well, we know that Dr.K has accused so and so for including those that have emigrated since 1991/run away/retain common sense, which is quite a sizeable number (just try and find a bar in London where you can't find someone from Serbia). I think that everyone knows it is a stitch up (OSCE etc.), and their silence is an indictment of who they really support.

I think it's quite likely that there will be a caretaker government that will be majority pro Djindjic, but what worries me is that whilst a caretaker government is supposed to be just that, I predict Dj will use it to do something controversial, i.e. something that wouldn't stand a chance under a normal sitting parliament (no doubt something to do with Western pressure). What we need is info on the Speaker of the parliament (a she I believe) and which way she swings. I can see that deciding the composition of this caretaker government causing major juctions. How exciting. Not.

P.S. Tanks for the 'fo (though I doubt that I'll remember it later)!

She is Natasha Michich of Civic Alliance of Serbia (GSS), one of the most collaborationist. In fact, GSS's founder, Vesna Peshich, wrote for rabbidly anti-Serb but influential American NGO's in the mid 1990's, spelling out who's to blame for everything in the former Yugoslavia (take a guess!). If you compare her outline and the oficial policy of the State Department, they are almost identical.

So, we know which way the collaborationist vote will go.

A bit of historical fact trivia: except for King Peter I (1903-1918), not a single Serbian ruler since 1804 completed his term in office peacefully -- they were all either assassinated or forced out.

If I had to answer my own question, What happens now, I think Serbia is headed for a showdown.

Oh Sh*t! I suspected as much. High Noon (though probably not at noon).
