Ivica Dacic, who was the spokesman for the Milosevic regime during the Kosovo War of 1999 (among other points) now helms a coalition government, composed of nationalists and others. This doesn't herald a radical departure from previous regimes, except that it may make Serbia's entry to the EU rockier, given that Dacic and his party have sworn that they would drop a bid if the EU made recognition of Kosovar Independence a condition for entry. Ideally, Dacic wants to "close the door" on the darker parts of Serb history... without actually resolving anything.

Should be interesting to watch Serbia over the next few years

Honestly i'd like to hear Player1x3's thoughts on this...

Ok than

Entry to EU is not worth it. And Milosevic was more capable than most of serbian politicians today

One wonders if there will be an EU left to enter soon enough anyway, but when you say "capable," what exactly do you mean?

What's so specifically interesting about it? As if there was some lack of nationalists (or nationalist rhetorics at the very least) in the Seriban politics, Dacic won't change anything for Serbia in the nearest future.

//And what's with the attitude to call everything 'a regime'?

Entry to the European Union? Who wants to do that nowadays? Maybe so Germany can force them to give money to Greece and they are ruled by a parliamen on Brüssels? Serbia is far more likely to join the CIS or something. They have long-lasting bonds with the russians.

I'm not surprised.

Just about every Serbian i've met was pretty anti-nato/EU and super pissed about Kosovo. I think the UN bid was based a lot more on politician choice then it was the will of the people.

Which isn't that different from a few EU nations.

As for closing the doors on the darker parts of their countries histories without acknowledging it...

it's no big surprise.

The Japanese don't recognize the rape of Nanking.

The Turks haven't ever accepted the Armenian Genocide.

The US didn't apolgogize to Native Americans or for slavery until 2009.

I believe many nations in the EU have never apologized for the slave trade.

Well, he was able to start, and defend Resolution 1244. That's useless to most our politicians today . And either way, joining the EU now is like joining with Axis powers in 1945

How is Kosovo War a ''dark part'' of history ?

It wasn't the kosovo war that was the dark part of history.  It was the ethnic cleasing before it, which is why the war occured and Kosovo was made independent with help of NATO.

Which I'm sure you know, and probably just deny having ever existed in the first place.

Why and when do you think KLA was formed?
