So Zoran Djindjic, the new Serbian prime minister, has ordered preparations for a trial of Milosevic in Belgrade. We don't want some other institution taking over the job since that would be an indirect way of saying that our own courts are not up to the task. On related topics in the Balkans, the new US Administration displayed a similar tough stance. Kosovo Albanians were told that the US opposes the idea of an independent Kosovo. Quite a change for the man who, when Milosevic was still in power, used to be Washington's favourite Balkan ruler.
Times have changed in Washington, it seems.
