Hold your horses. We don't know nuthin' yet. We've been told a lot of things from a country where there is a virtual media blackout. This news most probably came from governement sources. I'm holding my breath. They've already killed 2 out of three 'alleged assassins of Dj' (how convenient) and they have arrested 'thousands'. They control the information and they are doing whatever they want now. Anyone from the Surcin gang arrested?

Wrong. We've known for quite some time now.

Anyone from the Surcin gang arrested?

Actually yes.

The Surchin group is listed in the upper right corner. The blue box next to it informs that 1497 were arrested and 591 detained as of March 23, 2003.

There is no doubt that it was high noon for Serbia to deal with its organized crime and bring it to the levels of other European countries. I don't think anyone will object to that.

It is certainly very curious that the government "suddenly" solves all the crimes it couldn't solve until now.

It is rather disturbing that neither the media nor the civil liberties exist sufficiently unrestricted to protect from wanton planting of evidence, forced confessions and politicial witchhunt.

DOS is also very cleverly avoiding to deal with its own relationship with the "Red Berets," its own complicity in its operations since October 5, 2000, and with Djindjich's dealings with the Surchin gang. In other words, the blame is sought elsewhere but on the ruling colation, which remains pristine. Yet, we know that the Gavrilovich murder remains unsolved, and that one of DOS's top deputies was caught red-handed passing state secrets to a foreign "diplomat" (secret serevice agent).

In light of that, the Serbian government will save the day if it investigates its own ranks. If not, this will be the seed for another strife that will be full of allegations, distrust and violent settling of scores -- essentially a continuation of the practices of those who preceded them.

In that light, the president of the small but extremely iberal Christiam democratic Party of Serbia (DHSS), Vladan Batich, called for a formation of a truth commission that would investigate everyone. let's not forget that some Miloshevich-ersa cronies are hiding elsewhere, including the DOS.
