However, spies who secretly observe people, listen to their conversations and do everything else their rulers ask them to must never be called that. Furthermore, this kind of secret service must not exist any more. If Yugoslavia is to become a democratic state, state security has to be dissolved. There are secret police services in other countries. Still, they are not private secret services of one politician, of one ruling family or of one political group and not even of one state.
Politicians can be elected and dismissed, people just exist.
Since the foundation of its first state in 1918, Yugoslavia had notorious secret services that only served authoritarian rulers without any scruples. They were more or less bad, they had killed more or less people, but they were all evil. They all have officially protected the state, but they actually protected unwanted rulers from the people. With good reason, in former totalitarian, communist states secret police was dissolved after revolutions. Federal minister of defence, Pavle Bulatovic, was assassinated.
