...Jasenovac ? described as the Auschwitz of the Balkans ? in 1944, was convicted Monday and sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment. "They didn?t have much choice but to put him on trial, because letting him go free would have caused an international scandal," says TIME Central Europe bureau reporter Dejan Anastasijevic. The Sakic sentence came in the context of repeated attempts by Croatia?s current president, Franjo Tudjman, to resurrect the reputation of Croatia?s wartime pro-Nazi Ustashe regime, which enthusiastically rounded up Serbs, Jews and Gypsies and ran its own concentration camps during the German occupation of the Balkans...
...Social Democrats and ahead of its coalition partner, the conservative People?s party. The mystery is how an extremist party has managed to break into the mainstream at a time of prosperity and relative social calm. "Austrians are not angry, they?re bored," says TIME Central Europe bureau reporter Dejan Anastasijevic. "The Social Democrats have run Austria for more than 50 years, and the fact that they?ve been in coalition with the conservatives for the past 12 years leaves people feeling there?s no real opposition besides Haider.

"The U.N. can?t succeed unless the peacekeeping force can ensure security, and that really depends on NATO," says TIME Central Europe bureau reporter Dejan Anastasijevic. "But if the whole Kosovo mission turns out to be a dramatic failure, it?s clear that Washington is going to blame it on the U.N." That?s not something international diplomats will take lying down, since the U.S. strenuously avoided even discussing the matter at the U.N. when...
Well, look who showed up at the rally after all. "It was a game," says TIME Central Europe reporter Dejan Anastasijevic of opposition leader Vuk Draskovic?s unexpected appearance at a teeming anti-Milosevic rally in Belgrade Thursday night. "He said he wasn?t coming, and then had the word passed among his supporters that he would appear if they chanted his name. They did, and there he was ? he had been lurking somewhere nearby." The stunt didn?t go over too well in other parts of the crowd, where those who saw through it met Draskovic with boos...
