Default Ultranationaists defeated in Serbian elections

I am curious to hear from other Serbians in the forum on this (no, I'm not being sarcastic). I have not seen this reported in the mainstream media yet. Just in my local paper:


Quote:
Sunday's vote left the Balkan nation sharply split, though President Boris Tadic portrayed his coalition's clear lead as a sign that Serbs back his efforts to bring the country into the European Union.

The showdown reflected deep divisions among Serbs torn over whether to join the EU - or to shift toward their traditional ally, Russia, and revert to their nationalist past.

Tadic proclaimed "a great day for Serbia" after projections by an independent monitoring group and partial results from the state electoral commission gave his Coalition for a European Serbia a 10 percentage-point lead over the ultranationalist Radical Party.

[...] The European Union called the success of Tadic's coalition a "clear victory" by pro-European forces. The U.S. Embassy in Belgrade said in a statement that "the Serbian electorate has clearly demonstrated that its heart is in Europe."

"Serbia's citizens have spoken out in favor of a prosperous future inside the Western community," it said.

I'm sure Grond wont be happy to hear that.

So this seems to bode well for for a moderate Serbia in the future...which could lead to normalized relations with Kosovo eventually. I'd like to see both Serbia and Kosovo enter the EU some day.

Here's a link from the BBC, it's pretty informative.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7394339.stm

This is what Serbia needs. This result shows that the Serbian people indirectly accept Kosovo. It shows thia because the Serbians would not have elected a government which was pro-EU without taking into account the EU's stance on Kosovo (which recognises the country).

Very good news. Once the whole of Continental Europe is in the EU there'll never be conflict on that continent again so us Americans can concentrate all of our energies on other spectrums (such as the Pacific).

As seperate countries or one? Because if they both join it won't really matter as sovereignty will be centralised in Brussels....

I hope the Europeans will figure out that unless they are all in something together, there will continue to be wars.

Right so because one guy thinks differently that means the whole country does? Just like the Nazi's in America want a genocide, but it ain't happening.....

If Serbian wants in on the EU than it needs to learn to adapt. Their election recently proves the majority of them want to adapt.

Same here. If they both enter at the exact same time, that'd be even better.

Where is Grond on this subject? All I hear when I listen for him is chirping crickets.
