Serbia, 3 days after the Kosovo myth turned into looting the downtown shops: Nationalists still planning, Democrats dead, liberals still hiding

Most written immediately after the Thursday 21 Feb 08 events still stands. One thing was not recognized though, that the entire event was in essence post/pre election rely of the Serbian Radicals, in which PM Kostunica and the rest of actors took their rightful place.

To move on, it seems now that another set of questions seek answers and clarification in order to better understand what is happening. The following is an open list (please contribute):
  • How Kostunica & Co. reacted to the 21 Feb 08 events? Why no police official explained why the security system failed?
  • Is anybody still in doubt that the Democratic Party actually does not exist? Did President Tadic escape the Thursday event because he couldn’t or did not wish to stop the 21 Feb 08 taking place?
  • What’s wrong with the Serbian liberals? Why the organized reaction to the past Thursday events is missing? Why a part of if thinks that Serbia “lost” Kosovo in 1999?
  • What is to be and what’s to be done?
  • What's wrong with Serbian people, one could rightfully ask, are they drunk to ride on the nationalists made waves and really believe that Kosovo is theirs? Is theirs disorientation the standard part of cleansing process alike the one in post WWI Hungary or post WWII Germany?
  • Last but not the least, what is the social and capital cost of all this mess and irresponsible state and social reactions to what should be regarded as inevitable events?

Soon to be filled in/expanded on.
