*Now - people - you should hear about some REAL Serbian patriots that want
their nation as part of the international community, including NATO and the
European Union!
These real - and brave - Serbian patriots love freedom, democracy, peace -
and do not want to return to the bad old days "where war criminals and mass
murderers became national heros while victims were disdained and denied
human dignity."
Let's pray and support the REAL Serbian patriots and hope they can win over
the nationalists!

A CONTROVERSIAL Serbian law allowing war crimes suspects including former
president Slobodan Milosevic to receive taxpayers' money while on trial
triggered a call today for widespread protest action.
A Serbian non-governmental organisation called for a "campaign of civic
disobedience and non-payment of taxes until the law is abolished", according
to the Beta news agency.
It accused the political parties who backed the legislation of seeking to
return to a society "where war criminals and mass murderers became national
heros while victims were disdained and denied human dignity".
"This government does not do what it was given a mandate for, so instead of
adopting legislation to improve position of unemployed and pensioners, it
adopts the law that irritates the international community," Aleksandar Popov
from the Centre for Regionalism in the northern town of Novi Sad, told Beta.
