There are undercurrents and overriding themes in Serb history that perseverate and appear immutable. There is no reason to believe that the election of the hitherto non-corrupt and fiercely nationalistic law professor, Vojislav Kostunica, will miraculously transform the apparently ineluctable essence of Serb history and its salient proclivities. In Yugoslavia, the hedonistic and narcissistic Tito is one example. The turncoat communist Milosevic in Serbia is another.
Idealization is followed by devaluation and dispossession.
Politicians, criminals and businessmen are indistinguishable and interchangeable. They revolve around a common enemy and the struggle against it. Kostunica is to the right of Milosevic, whose nationalistic epiphany had more to do with political expedience than with patriotic zeal. Milosevic was deposed because he failed - not because he tried. He may have been discarded - but not so his way.
