 After 'Liberation,' Democracy, by Nebojsa Malic
The Democrats are an excruciatingly vocal minority, determined not just to impose their views on the rest but to actually remake society.
Now that they are in charge of Serbs, they seek to "cleanse" them of the stigma imposed by the Empire's blockade, demonization and ostracism during the 1990s (while, of course, blaming the Serbs themselves for all those).
One could argue that the Socialist federation was democratic (under the modern definition of narrowly accepted "democratic" values), and Tito certainly governed Yugoslavia with a keen understanding of ethnic conflicts.

Other parties in trouble this week included the BH Patriotic Party, for advertisements saying, "We are for the Republic of BiH," which does not exist according to Dayton, and the Serb Democratic Party and the Party of Democratic Progress, for taking large donations that violated the campaign finance law.
They cited the "outrageous" abuse of children (probably alluding to the recent high school student protests in Brčko, which were said to be organized by the banned Serb Radical Party and the Serb Democratic Party) and the participation of religious leaders in the campaign.
Given that most of the suspects either are or were SDS functionaries, the ICG recommended a ban on the party because of its well-known wartime activities and the influence that party founder and indicted war criminal Radovan Karadžić still has on the SDS.

 Victories for multi-ethnic candidates in Bosnian elections
The victories of parties opposed to the ruling nationalists in important cities such as Tuzla and Banja Luka were achieved despite enormous pressure by the ruling parties -- the Serb Democratic Party (SDS), the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and the Muslim-based Party of Democratic Action (SDA).
The attempt by the HDZ to boycott the elections was due to its fear of the votes of Muslim and Serb returnees it had ethnically cleansed from its fief in western Hercegovina.
Nevertheless, large numbers of Serbs who were cleansed by the HDZ and the Croatian army in late 1995 from Drvar and Grahovo in western Bosnia registered to vote and gave victory to the Coalition for Return.
