Tadic took that charge seriously. Just three days before Karadzic's arrest, the head of the Serbian security service, Rade Bulatovic, resigned; he was quickly replaced by a young and respected investigator, Sasa Vukadinovic. Bulatovic was considered an ally of former Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica, a nationalist and staunch opponent of the tribunal. "I am sure that at least some parts of the intelligence community were involved in protecting Karadzic," says Milos Vasic, a security analyst for Belgrade's political weekly Vreme...

...vote, or 103 out of 250 seats, which should enable Tadic to dominate Serbia's policies for the next several years. The Radicals came a distant second, with 77 seats, which works out at 29.1% while the Democratic Party of Serbia, led by outgoing Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica, won just 30 seats or 11% of the vote.

...recognized by most E.U. countries. During the campaign, Kostunica and the Radicals portrayed the E.U. as an evil empire bent on stealing a part of Serbia, while Tadic was labeled as traitor who was ready to sacrifice Kosovo for a distant promise of E.U. membership.

Hard-line nationalists in Belgrade who continue to reject Kosovo's Feb. 17 declaration of independence are poised to do well in the upcoming vote.

...police, schools and hospitals, Kosovo's new Prime Minister, Hashim Thaci, did the unthinkable: he delivered part of his inauguration speech in the hated Serbian language. Even in Serbia, whose citizens feel genuine humiliation over losing Kosovo (which Serb nationalists call their "Jerusalem"), the protests should abate. Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica has threatened to retaliate against Kosovo's becoming independent by suspending talks with the European Union, but Kostunica can't afford to cut ties with the West. The E.U. supplies 49% of Serbia's imports and buys 56% of its exports--a far more valuable trade relationship than Serbia...
