...Minister at Last SERBIA Breaking the political deadlock following December's parliamentary elections, moderate nationalist Vojislav Kostunica accepted the post of Prime Minister in what will be a minority government. The coalition, including Kostunica's Democratic Party of Serbia and three smaller parties, will rely on the support of Slobodan Milosevic's Socialist Party of Serbia. The deal blocks the hard-line Serbian Radical Party from taking power...
Rarely has politics made stranger bedfellows than the allies who came together in Serbia last week. Vojislav Kostunica - leader of Serbia's largest centrist party and the man who defeated Slobodan Milosevic in 2000 to become the last President of Yugoslavia - struck a deal with Milosevic's own Socialist Party (SPS) to secure the position of Serbian Prime Minister.

...Extreme SERBIA The ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party, led by former paramilitary and indicted war criminal Vojislav Seselj, won 82 seats in parliamentary elections - more than any other political party. The vote - the first since Slobodan Milosevic's party was thrown out of power three years ago - also saw the ex-strongman's own Socialist Party of Serbia just meet the threshold to return to parliament. Seselj's party advocates returning Serbian troops to Kosovo, downgrading ties with the U.S. and Europe, and suing NATO for reparations for the U.S.-led bombing of Belgrade in 1999. The Radicals failed...
