2000:
The Parting Diary
I.P.
June 8, 2000
And while the "harmless complexed populist" takes his toll of my friends, a new fear starts in me and unstoppably takes over me more and more intensely: the Fear of Loneliness.
Vize, vize, vize...

And what does our hope and pride, our opposition, as soon as the next day? It reacts, oh yes it does. It breaks the contracts with private transporters because they were on strike, and thus scores a crucial point against itself (hey, itself? Us!) in the last minute of the game.
To friends and colleagues, after expelling
Professor Milan Merkle
May 31, 2000
I just wanted to inform you of what is new at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. This is my personal view. It is possible that the facts are not how I see them - maybe I'm not actually a professor, maybe I wasn't thrown out, maybe I'm still lecturing students, maybe I'm a terrorist holding an AK-47 rifle and a hand grenade and maybe someone can even prove all that. Therefore, please accept these lines I wrote with reservation, since you won't be able to read them in ''Politika" daily or hear them on TV.
Cancelled due to a Lowly Force

The passion with which the rest of the thugs swarmed all over him horrified me and made me feel broken and defeated for the first time since the wars started. The kid who knocked a garbage can onto its side? Who are you protecting, guys? Who and from whom? Ten years against your people? Do you get a watch with an engraved autograph for this kind of jubilee?
Sleeping Doesn't Pay

So Momcilo Krajisnik went for a "tour" to The Hague. A man of strong patriotic-national characrter, thick black eyebrows and strong desire that everything that comes along in his life (which, well, amounts to a lot of it) be wrapped in the "liberation struggle eternal".
Kosovo: We know Serbian Government is still with us
J.J.
March 21, 2000
The situation in Kosovo is far from a peaceful, far away from a normal one. Nevertheless, Serbian people still hope that the Serbian army will return. The people still hope that they will return to their homes. The people believe and know that the Serbian Government is still with them!
Truncheon Democracy or Prison Experiences of an Activist
Ivan Marovic, student
March 2, 2000
During our stay at the police station, even during interrogations which we were subjected to, we didn't have the honour of getting acquainted with those people on whose orders we'd been taken into custody. We always received identical answers regardless of whom we asked about the people who'd ordered our arrests: "I don't know, I was ordered on the phone to show up here instantly", or: "I don't know, my shift's just started."
Get well... So We Can Come Back

Contrary to what the moralists and poets may want to believe, the alien sun warms equally well as the one in the homeland; in case of Africa, where this text comes from, the sunshine warms you up even better than your 'native'... What one really loses by emigrating from Yugoslavia is any touch with events, and any, even slightest, possibility to personally contribute to clearing up the situation.
Everything's Perfectly Fine?
Slavisa Jovanovic, clerk
February 11, 2000
I was fascinated by the mutual solidarity among the ruffians, while the oppressed were both incapable of organising themselves and excessively selfish since they were thinking only of how to get a few tiny crumbs for themselves.
Letter to friend in Slovenia
Stevan Koprivica, student
January 31, 2000
I don't know Uros, it's so bad - whatever happens in this state (inflation, a murder of some politician, sale of petrol/foreign currency/underpants in the streets… a whole lot, everything, even the most ludicrous and petty trifles) the ruling clan will put the blame on either NATO West or NATO infantry in this country...
Do you recognize them?
