...first since Slobodan Milosevic's Socialist Party was thrown out of power in 2000 - no fewer than three of the political parties are headed by men who have been charged with war crimes. Even stranger: one of them may be leading the pack. The Serbian Radical Party, led by ultranationalist Vojislav Seselj - who has been awaiting trial on charges of murder, ethnic cleansing and other crimes against humanity in a Hague court since earlier this year - scored 22-25% in the latest polls. The party is calling for an end to Western-style reforms and the return of Serbian troops...

Approval of the international tribunal conversely continues to drop: now even the NATO alliance that bombed Belgrade, polls say, is held in higher public esteem. The Serb nationalism that Milosevic rode to power, meanwhile, is enjoying a modest revival. Ultranationalist Vojislav Seselj, Milosevic's own pick for President in elections at the end of this month, now claims 12% support, up from 4% in May. Those who hoped that the spectacle of the former President in the dock would shock Serbs into recognizing the crimes done in their name are having...
