That is it so far.
I will post anything substantial as I find out. this may or may not effect my Pedal in Peace ride, I do not know.
The Serbs were really pushing to get the troops back into Kosovo in the last few weeks.
The second thing that came to my mind is that Milosevic was in office more than 10 years and there was never a serious attempt on his life. Now Djindjic that is using the same security as Milosevic gets shot.
Why no one bothered to kill Milosevic in those 10 years if he was so bad for the West? Does one think he was too protected. Djindjic's murder shows he was not. So why was not Milosevic assasinated. The simple answer is he was left to serve as an excuse to invade the country. The whole country was labeled with Milosevic and the whole country was bombed for Milosevic. But it could have taken 2 bullets.
It was never about Kosovo Albanians but complete occupation of Yugoslavia as it was demanded in the Rambue documents. NATO did get Kosovo but did not complete control of Serbia.
The spring is coming ....
-The are pushing the theory that the assasination was done by the Mafia known as the "Zemun Clan", numbering about 200 members. They showed about 20 of these members on TV and their fancy looking house in Zemun. One of the guys they mentioned was Legija, don't know anything about him but his name has been making the news the last few months here in Belgrade.
-The reason they blame the mafia is that they say a bill was supposed to be put before parliament today which would give the police priority to crack down on organised crime.
-They showed pictures of about 100 people lighting candles outside the Parliament building where he was shot.
-A lot of annoying rhetoric being repeated in the news from journalists, foreign leaders and his party members (eg: Djindjic promoter of democracy, Djindjic the hard worker, Djindjic leading Serbia into Europe blah blah blah). It's agonising listening to Havier Solana trying to be compassionate after the misery he brought to this country.
Thats it for me for tonight, it's late here.

professionals at large. both snipers hit the target. they used ropes to quickly disappear from the crime scene.
Go on thinking so, but the extremes of left and right, as well as religious nihilisms, are not so far apart ideologically as they appear. They come together in the worship of totalitarianism.
Some clarification:Gavrilo Princip volontered for Serbian army in 1913 during the Balkan Wars but was so seakly that he was rejected on medical grounds.But his patriotic zeal was noted by Vojvoda(Duke) Tankosich,Serbian Army officer and member of the Black hand.Black Hand was a group of powerfull officers members of the military intelligence in Serbian army,who were a law into themselves.The founders of the group were the same officers that had assasinated King M. Obrenovich and his wife in 1903!
Their actions were,esentialy,against the interests of Serbia at that time,and were not officialy sanctioned!
The leaders of the group were arrested ,tried in Thessalonika(Greece) in 1917 and shot!A rogue cabal of influential officers who thought that they were a "true patriots"(sounds familiar??) and their actions had cost Serbia and her people so much!
A believe that a simmilar group of Police/State Sicurity egzists today in Serbia,and that they are behind this horrible crime!They have been killing with impunity for the last 13 years;they had established a close relationship with "businessmen" in Serbia and abroad,and earned a lot of money!Killing Djindjich was not a big deal for them,because,they are(or they think that they are)omnipotent...
Poor Djindjich had made a deal with the devil prior to 5th of October,and according to his latest statements,started to renege on a deal!Remember,all current leaders had inherited sicurity apparatus from Miloshevich`s era.More or less,their bodygards are/were members of police under Miloshevich.I just read that Djindjich was not satisfied with his security and wanted to change them.To late,now!
Powerfull forces are at play in Serbia/Montenegro today,very powerfull!Big money is at stake.Tantacles of Russian Mafia are very present in Yugoslavia,and they are in control of many businesses there.
I believe that this is a turning point for Serbia!
I know what I should do in this situation!But,it wouldn`t be very democratic!
I have known both Zoran Djindjich and his vife,personally.Never liked the man very much.But,I am very sad,today.Assassination of Zoran Djindjich iz assassination of Serbia,of her freedom and her future!
Not because Zoran was Serbia but because when in Belgrade somebody can twice try to kill a Prime Minister within a forthnight and succeed,than where is HOPE for Serbs???
At the end of the day,I believe that Vojislav Seselj was right,and that he knew a lot about Serbian underworld.Now,he is safe in Hague!
He had nothing nice to say about Djindjich and Co!
But he said "They will have their own 29th of May!"
How profetic!
Do you know whay is 29th of may important for Serbian history?
