How many foreign embassy security staff in any country in the world ever tried to ram the car belonging to the President trvelling in a motorcade? I guess none.
Serbian President is driven in Mercedes with unique four digit licence plates (e.g. BG-50-00) and is surrounded by similar cars. Flashing lights are different from ordinary unmarked police car (flashing Blue and red). It is simply not possible not to realize it is motorcade. Plus, Cobra Unit bodyguards are threatening enough.
Yet, U.S. embassy security guard tailed motorcade and attempred several times to squeeze in into the motorcade for more than 2 miles. (First attempt at Kneza Miosha Street near Canadian Embassy, continued chase over overpass bridge into Vojvode Putnika Bulevard and attempted to cut motorcade at Topciderska Zvezda intersection (half mile from U.S. Ambassador residence in 50 Uzicka street)
Tailing motorcade UPHILL for one mile on a narrow road requires quite a driving skill and courage, unless the "incident" was prearranged..
Hard to say what this is all about... Happily the MDB re-elected with a clear mandate on foreign policy and the word on the Hill is that a more aggressive stance in the Balkans is coming.
Down the road a bit in Banja Luka its time for a change and the oversight committee has given the green light to put Milorad Dodik back in power. With the uniforms moving out it's time to get the band back together again -- we should see some action beginning in the RS in the next couple of weeks.

Just a curious question, DTA...: Does this Miroslav Cimpl-guy have diplomatic immunity...???
