  BBC NEWS | Europe | Profile: Tomislav Nikolic
Tomislav Nikolic, the leader of Serbia's extreme nationalist Serbian Radical Party, once ran cemeteries in a small provincial town.
Mr Nikolic has come to the helm of the Radicals because its founder, Vojislav Seselj, is currently behind bars at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague.
Mr Nikolic says his dream is a Greater Serbia, which stretches to the Adriatic Sea, now the coast of Croatia, but dismisses the idea that a Serbia led by him would go to war to achieve it.

 B92 Interviews >> Tomislav Nikolic
Nikolic:  On the fact that I will be elected by the people.  On the fact that I respect the Constitution and the law.  On the fact that I will help the government to work well and criticise it when it does not.
Nikolic:  Yes, but we were fighting terrorism then.  We were defending ourselves from NATO and we were rebuilding the country.  Those were our three tasks which we were engaged on for a year and a half and nothing more could have been done.
Nikolic:  There’s only one court case and only one man in question.  There is only one indictment against one man from the Serbian Radical Party and you’re talking about an ongoing case.  Nothing has been proved, whether we’re guilty or not, but you say it’s fact because you received it from the Zemun Municipality.

  washingtonpost.com: Serbian Nationalist Leads in Election
BELGRADE, June 13 -- Nationalist candidate Tomislav Nikolic was the leader in Serbia's presidential election on Sunday and will face reformer Boris Tadic in a June 27 runoff, according to a preliminary forecast by independent monitors.
Nikolic, whose Radical Party is led by war crimes suspect Vojislav Seselj, who is now detained by a U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, received about 30.7 percent of the vote, against 27.4 percent for Tadic, according to the independent Center for Free Elections and Democracy.
Diplomats have warned that a victory by Nikolic in the presidential race would scare off badly needed foreign investors even though he has toned down his nationalist rhetoric and despite the fact that the powers of the presidency are limited.

Tomislav Nikolic, who shocked the West by coming out ahead in an abortive presidential ballot last month, had broken bones on his right hand and slightly injured his head, Zvonko Veselinovic, hospital director in Kraljevo, told Reuters.
Witnesses said Nikolic's car collided with one coming from the opposite direction while on his way to a rally in the central town ahead of the December 28 poll in which his party is expected to become one of the biggest in parliament.
Nikolic easily outpolled pro-democracy politician Dragoljub Micunovic in a November 16 presidential election, but the vote was declared invalid because voter turnout did not reach the required 50 percent.

Nikolic led by 100,000 during the first round, but all the other candidates have since pledged their support to Tadic, including business tycoon Bogoljub Karic.
Analysts have sketched the outcome of both election scenarios this way: if Nikolic were to win, Serbia would send a negative message to the EU, the government would be further destabilised, the new constitution would become harder to adopt, relations with Montenegro would deteriorate and foreign investments would slump.

Mr Nikolic's Radical party, nationalists who continue to hanker after Milosevic's failed Greater Serbia project, is the main opposition and the largest party in the Serbian parliament.
Mr Nikolic's mainly rural support is easily mobilised, while the liberal, urban and middle-class bedrock of support for Mr Tadic is seen as less likely to vote.
