...told the price of E.U. entry is the loss of Kosovo. The ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party - which once advocated union with Russia and Belarus, and is now tied for first place with a coalition of more pro-Western parties - could enter government alongside nationalist Prime Minister Kostunica's DSS. Russia's ex-President Vladimir Putin, who provided critical backing for Serbia in its fight against Kosovo's independence, recently sent Kostunica a letter promising "deepening cooperation" between his United Russia party and the DSS. Both Serbian nationalist parties are dedicated to opposing Kosovo's independence...
...continue to reject Kosovo's Feb. 17 declaration of independence are poised to do well in the upcoming vote. They include the ultranationalist Radical Party, led by indicted war criminal Vojislav Seselj, who is facing trial before a special tribunal in the Hague, and the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), led by Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica, who has called on the international community to "annul" the independence of what he terms a "fake state...

Kostunica, though a lifelong opponent of Milosevic, has a nationalist streak of his own. He took DSS out of the current government in 2001 and has spent much of the last three years complaining about anti...
...student volunteers abound, including “respite care,” which offers foster parents a temporary break. There are also organizations that offer academic tutoring and lessons in everything from painting to ballet, in addition to support groups where foster children can bond with each other. And DSS is always happy to accept an extra package of diapers or formula, two of the details that are frequently forgotten in transit. A call down to the DSS will connect you with any of these programs...
