Serbia Update #3
It looks like Serbia will have a new government next week.
Parliament meets again on Tuesday, March 2, and it appears that Kostunica and his Democratic Party of Serbia will have the votes to form a government. Apparently the Socialists -- Milosevic's party, still -- are willing to support him, and he's managed to convince Vuk Draskovic and the G17 people to go along. (If you've forgotten your Serbian politics, there's still this old post to give the basics.)
The new government will include technocrats and hardline nationalists, monarchists and unrepentant former Communists, Milosevic's supporters and Vuk Draskovic, who survived at least two assassination attempts under Milosevic.
This should be interesting.
