Reply #107: Serbia in 2000?

[Vladimir]

civil war didn't break out, but neither did much democracy (although we were rid of a murderer). Hence why support for far-right parties has actually risen sharply since Milosevic left power. And Kosovo is still unresolved and could spark back into life whenever. Serbia also faces many of the same problems it did in 2000: poor living standards outside Belgrade, a falling population, racism towards minorities, rampant misogeny, homophobia... the middle classes gained, the oligarchy shifted around a bit, and everyone else is around where they were before. And we are about to become a monarchy again, and are introducing faith-based education in all state schools. That's the thing with 'popular uprisings', you never know where they are gonna end up...
