BELGRADE -- Vuk Draškoviæ says that Serbia is going the wrong way as the Miloševiæ regime was not fully eradicated after October 5, 2000.
The Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) leader, speaking of the last decade of the 20th century, that he describes in his book “Target“, told B92’s Poligraf that October 5 was a missed opportunity to dismantle the whole of Miloševiæ’s “terrorist apparatus“, laying the blame on Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) leaders.
“Until October 5, Legija (a reference to Milorad Ulemek, found guilty of sanctioning the assassination of the late prime minister, Zoran Ðinðiæ) and those terrorists for special liquidations went to Miloševiæ to receive orders for who to kill. After October 5 and the democratic changes, Legija just issued Legija orders with who to kill, and virtually the whole of the government let him do as he pleased,“ said Draškoviæ.
Commenting on reports following a recent thingytail party at the Security Information Agency (BIA) that things were beginning to change within the secret services, he said that ’same old club“ was still there, and that the economic situation was similar.
“We don’t have a single tycoon in Serbia, not one person who didn’t rob the system dry, who didn’t make his money under Miloševiæ,“ said the SPO leader.
He said that he would battle with those that the state did not want to condemn for the murders on the Ibarska road, via a private suit.
Draškoviæ said that Serbia was heading in the wrong direction as great social differences existed, and that he viewed the whole period after 2000 as a defeat of his ideals of a new Serbia that he wished to build during his struggle with the late president.
“This is not my time, this is not my Serbia that I fought for. Let me tell you something: had I known in 1990, when I started to sew, and in the Bible those are Christ’s words, ’some sew, while others reap,’ had I known that they would reap like this, I never would have sewn,“ he said.
The SPO leader believes his party does have a political future.
B92: At the start of your book, you quote Friedrich Nietzche’s “Thus Spoke Zarathustra“ and you say: “Only once all of you have disowned me will I return again.“
Draškoviæ: Isn’t it clear?
B92: How will you return, as an author or as a politician?
Draškoviæ: I’ll return in such a way that I am at my strongest when I am at my weakest.
