...cautioning that the American public must be patient. “They are rebuilding confidence, but lending must start to move,” Dinkic said. Throughout his lecture, Dinkic spoke with a sustained optimism. At one point a self-conscious laugh about the controversial former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic??s “irresponsible spending” drew a ripple of chuckles from the room. Dinkic’s cheery attitude also appeared to help him avoid controversy on issues such as Serbia’s trade agreement with Iran—which he explained by saying...
...with a single statement: “‘Never again’ did not work.” As Chief U.N. Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Del Ponte shared her experiences prosecuting war criminals—including former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic??with a large gathering of undergraduate and graduate students in the John F.

He continues to refer to the chief judge Richard May as “Mr. May” rather than “Your Honor.” The respectability...
...Milosevic would surely hurl some ferocious accusations at the former president—he has already condemned the Clinton administration for “genocide” against Serbs—Clinton’s testimony would only help America’s reputation abroad. By confronting and refuting Milosevic??s claims, Clinton would provide the world with his side of the argument. The trial reaches the eyes and ears of thousands of Bosnians, Croats and Serbs through local television broadcasts, and it would certainly smooth relations with them if Clinton were to testify to America?...
