  July 2001: Milosevic Handed Over to the Hague
Serbian premier Zoran Djindjic ruthlessly overode the objections of the Yugoslav Supreme Court and Yugoslav federal President Vojislav Kostunica on June 29, delivering Slobodan Milosevic into the arms of the U.S.-sponsored International Tribunal at the Hague.
Kostunica, besides being a Serbian nationalist, is a strict constitutionalist, and in response to Milosevic's extradition he accused Djindjic of repeating the sins of the ousted strongman's government in trampling on the law.
The Serbian and Montenegran peoples are not going to believe that the imperialists have a right to judge war crimes, given NATO's murderous bombing of their countries.

 Free Serbia - Other voices from Serbia - Comments
Numerous parties with different names were founded, but in reality had no opportunity to present their platforms as alternatives to the ruling Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS).
The activities of this party at the beginning of the 90's were characteristically pacifist and anti-nationalist.
Formation of a group of parties of socialist and regional orientations, as well as the parties of ethnic minorities [Social Democratic Union, the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina, the Reformists of Vojvodina, Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians, Coalition Sandzak and Coalition Sumadija] provided an impetus to the creation of a European version of left wing.

 '93 Elections on TV
The Associated Leftists and the Party of Serbian Unity were not even mentioned in the central news program of this TV station, and as for the Serbian Radical Party, contrary to the last-year's elections when this party was completely ignored, there were 6 presentations lasting 5:44 minutes.
This block formed on the average 24 per cent of the news broadcast, and during the last forthnight before the elections, 60 per cent of the segment was devoted to the activities of the SPS.
The attitudes, election promises and expectations of the party in power were hence, presented as "regular" and "normal", and thus made the offer of all parties was quite marginal.

 Preelection Atmosphere in Serbia
Due to the bias of the election system which requires the minimum of as many as five percent of votes just to participate in the competition for the seats in the Parliament, and a large number of electoral units, major parties and the parties whose supporters are concentrated in small areas have a significant advantage.
Minor parties will this time win much less support of the voters than in the previous elections, so that only here and there, SNO, NS, and the Reformers from Vojvodina are mentioned, and Babic's SSS approaches the necessary requirement of five per cent, but never actually reaches it.
Finally, although unfavourable for the SPS and other powerful parties, but not for the President of Serbia, a possibility (and the inevitability) of formation of a "concentration" government, that of "national salvation", government "of experts" or similar is in sight.

 B-92 interview
So, at that famous session of the party’s central committee, which I attended despite not having been invited, I demanded the resignations of the entire leadership in order to see if we could return the Yugoslav Left into the sort of party it was at the beginning.
That party rhetoric bothered me as did the possibilities of using party membership for the accumulation of wealth and obtaining privileges, the things party membership should never be used for.
The other is the fact that the party, which I belonged to for a long time, has reached that state when it ether has to come to its senses and undergo a process of regeneration or it will start to disappears from the political scene all Zajedno.
