BELGRADE, Serbia – Serbs who have lived through years of high unemployment and cronyism were threatening Sunday to throw out a pro-Western government for former allies of strongman Slobodan Milosevic.
The deceased Milosevic unleashed horrific violence against ethnic groups in the 1990s, and it took a U.S.-led bombing campaign to end it. Polls indicate that many Serbs will vote for anyone who can offer a more stable and prosperous living than what they have experienced under the ruling Serbian Democratic Party. Others do not like their choices.
