 INGOs and 'Democracy Assistance' in Serbia
Serbia and the other former Yugoslav republics are usually not included in studies of democratization, often because they are seen as a special case of unresolved ethnic and national conflict.
Maintaining Serbia's economy as a socialist one that is not controlled by foreign capital is one of the major goals of the SPS, which has not allowed privatization or significant foreign investment.
Although Serbia certainly would like to have export markets and access to foreign technology, the SPS from 1990 onward has made it quite clear it has no interest in joining the EU, which of course would require a shift to privatization, liberalization, and a loss of sovereignty.

 Bosnia Report - July - September 2000
Serbia is led today by the most backward and the least capable, even though we find ourselves in a race in which half the world is seeking to catch up with the other half in happiness, wealth and prosperity.
This is the way in which FRY was created in 1991, it is the way in which the union of Serbia and Montenegro was formed, and it is a repetition of the same mistake that had such negative consequences that the political logic defies rational understanding.
Serbia’s problems are a burden imposed by politicians who survive on the basis of its poverty, ignorance and impotence.

Montenegro's actions and policies relating to the Kosovo crisis and the prospects for a democratic transition in Serbia are pivotal.
Montenegro's ability to successfully balance its mandate for democratic reform with Belgrade's attempts to maintain centralized control depends on the support of the international community, the eventual democratization of Serbia, and President Djukanovic's steady but determined support for democratic and economic reforms.

 The Congress of Berlin, British Imperialism, and the Emergence of World War I | Carl Savich | Columns | Serbianna.com
Serbia and Montenegro emerged as autonomous states and the other Balkans states were surging as new powers in the region.
Serbia was an “autonomous principality” of the Ottoman Empire in 1875 as was Montenegro.
Liberalism was based on the notion of gradual and evolutionary reform and change and in a free trade, laissez faire approach to economics and a commitment to democracy and the freedoms of the individual.

 Marshall Plan of the Mind
As the advocates of Western-style liberalism become increasingly disenchanted with the values they believed in and fought for, prospects of the emergence of a democratic alternative are more remote than ever.
Other liberals argue that Serb democrats should begin by critically examining their own actions, or rather inaction, before blaming NATO bombing for the sorry state of Serbian society.
Serbia will likely end up destitute, isolated and, if NATO maintains the bombing for another couple of months, so “degraded” that it will be in no position to threaten anyone.

 Bosnia Report - August 1998 - Kosovo is not part of Serbia
Serbia's occupation of Kosovo was then, and remains today, an illegal and constitutionally invalid act.
They nevertheless like to pretend that Kosovo is an integral part of Serbia; that Serbia's intervention in Kosovo is a lawful, albeit brutal, defence of sovereign territory; and that Kosovo's struggle for independence is a dangerous case of 'separatism'.
The truth is that during this period the Republic of Serbia had an exceptionally well educated, responsible and able leadership, represented by Marko Nikezic and Latinka Perovic, which in 1971 was purged on the grounds of 'excessive liberalism'.

 Balkan Express
Under Njegos’s heirs, Montenegro fought alongside the restored, independent Serbia in the Balkan wars of 1912-1913, and stood by its brethren in 1914-15, as Austrian and German troops overran the Balkans.
And instead of liberating, it enabled the Communists to imprison thousands of people in Serbia — and Montenegro — as "Stalinists," during the 1948-53 standoff with the Comintern.
Whether the latter would simply prefer to be a sizable minority in a small, independent Montenegro to being a tiny minority in FRY — or their plans perhaps coincided with the authors of this map — is immaterial.

 The Ottoman Sultans of Turkey & Successors in Romania
A Western, or a modern liberal, evaluation will not give that much weight, but it is not hard to imagine that the sensation it created in Islâm was not much different from that in Christendom at the capture of Jerusalem by the First Crusade, or the completion of the Reconquista in Spain.
Serbia, România, and Montenegro all became independent, with increases in territory, but Bulgaria was divided and merely allowed autonomy.
Serbia's only access to the sea, through the historic port of Kotor (Cattaro in Italian, obtained from Austria after World War I), the fear is that, should the Montenegrans decide to go their own way, the Serbs would use force, with enough local support to make resistance abortive.

 Press Releases: Balkans, Fighting for Kosovo, Serbia fights for basic principles of international justice
Resolving the problems of national minorities through self-determination (especially in the case of nationalities that already have their own countries nearby) inevitably leads to border changes and all the dangerous complications that this entails.
Democracy, in Serbia as anywhere else, is essentially based on the equality of all and, no less important, on trust.
And, by defending an inalienable part of its territory, Serbia may even be defending the future of democracy as a way of life and a view of the world," says the Serbian Prime Minister in his author text.

 Independent Montenegro: The Case of the Sugar Republic: Newsroom: The Independent Institute
The retail price of bananas in Montenegro, for instance, which is subject to a high 15 percent tariff under conditions of ostensibly free import, is 5 percent higher than in protectionist Serbia, which effectively imposes a tariff—a rather paradoxical situation.
Unfortunately, the prospects for the application of that principle in Montenegro are slim, not necessarily because people are unwilling to operate that way but because of the demographics and the social structure of the nation.
With a consolidated central government expenditure of 45 percent of GDP, the tax burden necessary to keep the fiscal balance and to “protect” the constituency that heavily depends on transfers from the budget is quite high (only one-third of the budget is spent on the provision of “public” goods).

 Foreign Policy Centre: Articles / Getting to terms with Serbia-Montenegro
Equally to blame has been the virtual non-operation of the institutions of the state union between Serbia and Montenegro, with whom the EU was expecting to negotiate.
Equally important is to reform the judiciary and the media to make them functional and independent, and to provide increased security for national minorities, including Hungarians in Vojvodina who have recently complained of increasing harassment by Serbs, though Tadic claimed during his visit to Brussels that the incidents had been exaggerated.
Serbia – and Kostunica's government in particular, may now be at a crossroads.
