	New Serbian Leader Pledges Further Reforms \| Current Affairs \| Deutsche Welle \| 19.03.2003
		Zoran Zivkovic took office on Tuesday with a vow to nail the killers of his slain reformist predecessor, Zoran Djindjic.
		Zivkovic, whom observers view as coldly calculating when it comes to politics, will be watched closely by the international community to continue pro-market economic reforms that the struggling Serbian economy desperately needs.
		Zivkovic has assured that the government would remain "on the same path, with the same tasks and unchanged goals." But in a sign of challenges ahead, he has already lowered this year's economic growth forecast from 5.0 to 3.5 percent.

	March 15, 2003 - Assassination of the Serbian Prime Minister Mr. Zoran Djindjic
		Zivkovic, First Deputy Leader of Djindjic’s Democratic Party, said that this walk with his president was the biggest ever, bigger even than 5 October, when they marched on the capital in a successful attempt to oust the then leader Slobodan Milosevic.
		Reporting directly to Djindjic, Zivkovic continued: "This was a strange walk, the police were cooperating with us, everyone was silent and crying because everybody knew that, even though it was the biggest, this walk had a place at which to end".
		Rehn voiced expectation that one of the consequences of the murder of the Serbian premier, which she viewed as an appalling act, would be the uniting of the country in the realization of those aims.

	Locus Online: Reviews by Rich Horton
		Zivkovic's work is marked by a quiet and graceful style (smoothly translated by Alice Copple-Toic with the editing assistance of Chris Gilmore), by an interest in time, in the effects of knowledge of the future and the past on people's lives, and by a pronounced tendency towards metafictional effects.
		Zivkovic has no answer, but his means of asking the question invites us to think about SETI, and about communication in general — it's a subtle, evocative, piece.
		Zoran Zivkovic is revealed here as one of the more interesting voices in contemporary SF.

		Speaking at Jovovic's graveside, PM Zivkovic noted that this was the first time Serbian officials had visited Kosovo for four years, saying that the occasion for the visit was"horrifying" and only added to centuries of Serb death.
		Zivkovic said: "We cannot bring back Ivan and Pantelija, but we can all try together to make their sacrifice the last because this does not depend solely on us who have responsibility in Serbia, as we are only able to reach your village in Kosovo very rarely, and sometimes only secretly.
		Zivkovic said to Serb mourners: "The Serbian government is responsible for Albanians living in Presevo, Belgrade and Krusevac, and Kosovo authorities have to offer guarantees for your safety".The bodies of the slaughtered youths were last night released from the UNMIK Forensic Medicine Institute in Orahovac and taken to Gorazdevac in preparation for this afternoon’s burials.

		In the world of Serbian novelist Zoran Zivkovic´’s The Book, libraries are whorehouses and their borrowers are johns, all authors are viewed with voracious contempt, and anyone who freely reads is a sadist.
		Zivkovic´’s tight metafiction keeps the reader aware of the physical act of reading and holding a book—The Book—as well as the symbiotic relationship between author, narrator, and reader.
		Zivkovic´ elegantly renders an author’s worst night-terror and in doing so has written a tale that teeters between tremendously funny and deadly serious satire.

		But IWPR has learned from independent sources close to the government as well as to Zivkovic's Democratic Party, DS, that he is close to deciding simply to remove the two men from their posts without taking legal action against them.

		He also said that the promise of late Serbian premier Zoran Djindjic that the people of Serbia would be free from poverty and fear, would be fulfilled, and added that the security in one's country represented a condition for a successful economy.
