...Milosevic has little reason to smile over the news. Bulatovic, 52, was his trusted ally for many years. Three years ago when the government of Montenegro, Serbia's only partner in the truncated Yugoslav federation, distanced itself from Milosevic's policies, Bulatovic, himself a Montenegrin, remained firmly loyal to Belgrade. Moreover, he was not suspected of using his position to line his own pockets, unlike most of Milosevic's other cronies. Milosevic will have a difficult time finding a suitable replacement...

Taliesin fell into the hands of a bank. Wright got it back only when a group...
...other leaders were careful to stress that they had no intention of returning to the harsh old police-state technique that prevailed in Yugoslavia before the ouster of former Secret Police Chief Aleksandar Rankovic in 1966. "We have experienced state socialism [the Yugoslav euphemism for Stalinism]" said Montenegrin Party Leader Veselin Djuranović, "and we never want to experience it again."
