...more violent soccer fan clubs in Serbia. But some Serbs wonder whether the government has the resolve to do anything, considering it has tolerated such groups for years. "The state has clearly lost this battle, but it can still win the war," says Zoran Dragisic, a security analyst and professor at Belgrade University, "provided our politicians finally show some guts."
