This was in stark contrast with the mood in Belgrade which was, at best, gloomy, as most Serbs see Kosovo as their historic heartland.

The cause of the current revival is more difficult to pin down. For some, it's simply a matter of wanting to be in vogue. In the past year, male models have been strutting their scruff on runways...
...real mood in the country was closer to relief then joy. If Nikolic had won, his victory would have signaled an end to Serbia's efforts to join the European Union, and a step closer toward its becoming Russia's satellite. Even Tadic, addressing the crowd from the balcony of his party headquarters in downtown Belgrade, conceded that it was a close call. "There's no time for a big celebration party," he said. "Much needs to be done." More than 2.1 million people, or 47.7 percent of the electorate, voted for Nikolic, while Tadic got just over 2.2 million...
