...current government. To set Serbia on the right path, he wants to sever ties with Croatia, return troops to Kosovo, review the "illegal" privatizations that have taken place over the past three years, and end foolish dreams of a Western alliance. "We could have the son of Javier Solana as Prime Minister and they still would not let us in the E.U. for 10 years! Half of us will be dead by then!" he told supporters this month in the northern border town of Subotica. "We don't owe anything to anyone!" Kostunica's message is not quite as militant...

Javier Solana, the E.U.'s High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy, has made several attempts to broker a cease-fire between Israelis and Palestinians - to no avail. And in April German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer put forward proposals that could serve as a blueprint for fresh talks.
