 MILOSEVIC’S COMING ELECTION THEFT by Srdja Trifkovic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In 1997 Milosevic’s candidate Milan Milutinovic cheated the nationalist Vojislav Seselj—then in opposition to Milosevic—out of a victory in the Serbian Presidential elections.
These are not the stakes you have in parliamentary elections in Great Britain where the prime minister, if he loses the elections, becomes the leader of Her Majesty’s opposition—with the same salary.
The techniques vary, but on Milosevic’s past form at the crudest level they will entail the dropping of bundles of illegitimate ballots into the boxes, and the tampering of those boxes during their transportation from individual polling stations to municipal counting centers.

 Reverse ethnic cleansing: a post-war visit to Serbia and Kosovo

In the case of the Serbian Democratic Party this remoteness from the public has been compounded by the fact that the party’s leader, Zoran Djindjic, left the country during the NATO bombardment and is widely regarded as a traitor.
However the streets in the Serbian part of town are clean (which may have given the impression that it escaped damage) unlike the Albanian area where rubbish in the form of clothes, rotting food and animal carcases lines the streets.
