Summary:In the town of Ivanjica in central Serbia there are no independent media. Recently, members of the student movement Otpor (Resistance) were in their office listening to a Radio B2-92 satellite broadcast on demonstrations taking place throughout Serbia. Police broke in demanding to see a permit for rebroadcasting the satellite program. International figures unpopular even with the Serbian democratic public now head strategic projects for democratization. These include Javier Solana, the man who headed NATO during last year's bombing. He cannot be expected to be a darling of the Serbian public, democratic or otherwise. I have no wish to point a finger at anyone else for what is happening in Serbia today. We are largely to blame for our inability to resist the regime of Slobodan Milosevic. However, I do believe that the international public has neglected events in Serbia.
