"Madam President, Slobodan Milosevic’s latest polling box fraud comes as no surprise to us. It is an electoral manoeuvre which is
reminiscent of an extremely poor political reputation. Precisely this unfeeling attitude is also making us fear the worst – and current events are bearing out the words written by myself only a few hours ago. Is the Yugoslav President really making way for his opponent and probably lawfully elected successor, Vojislav Kostunica, without any bloodshed? A pressing question indeed.
Along with the Serbian population, the Western world would be only too happy with such a switch in power in Belgrade. However, a sense of relief should not be attended by reckless carelessness. The European Union and the United States are being warned about this from various quarters in the region. They consider Kostunica – in terms of ideas – just as much a Great-Serbian nationalist as Milosevic, with all that entails for the Montenegrins and Kosovars.
In summary, should Kostunica take Milosevic’s place, the West would do well to make aid strictly dependent on his concrete efforts to establish a constitutional state in Serbia and Yugoslavia."@en1
