I think that it is you who has been fooled. I was following the events closely and it was clear that Serbian media were much less uniform than the Western ones. Also the small Serbia being in the middle of Europe was not isolated like USA separated by the oceans.

I was in Europe for all of it. My news came mainly from German and British media plus a little CNN. Their pictures of the events were pretty much the same, but often with a more critical slant. How much was the major Serbian media reaching most of the population deviating from the party line?

Serbia had functioning democratic system.

Kind of like how we have a functioning democratic system, where the Republicrat Party has the only chance of winning an election, except they had only one party run by him. But at least our party has two faces, and our sitting presidents don't try to stay in office when voted out by a clear margin, only leaving after massive protests in the streets.

Only after West poured huge number of money into financing subversive groups like Otpor the anti-democratic coup took place.

Subversive only to Milosovic's party. The west giving the opposition parties money was probably the only way they could win a contest rigged against them, and overcome the massive advantage Milosovic had in controlling the mass media.

You mean like what happened with Gore in Florida, Quila???

Gee Quila, if it's illegal and subversive for the Chinese to contribute in our American political system it seems only fair that the Yugoslavs would feel the same about Clinton money.
