...market economy that is based on competition between state-owned but individually run companies. That zany-sounding blend of socialism and free enterprise has given the 20.5 million Yugoslavs the fastest growing economy in Eastern Europe. In major cities, modern, wide-windowed apartment complexes dot the skyline, autos clog the streets and stores are stocked with television sets, radios and kitchen appliances.

Those who demand a trial sometimes wait three years-in jail if they cannot afford bail...
