Milosovic

History repeating itself? The twentieth century revolved around the Balkans - bringing war to the whole world as a variety of bizarre tiny kingdoms argued their petty disputes amongst themselves. Various offspring of Queen Victoria and her relations were persuaded to take up the thrones of these countries, or peasant warlords adopted the title of king. Now all these countries are wanting to become members of the European Union - some are already using the Euro instead of their own currency. All seem to want to distance themselves from Serbia - the current bete noir of the Balkans. And now Milosovic inconveniently dies amongst rumour and accusation of poison, suicide and righteous indignation of justice betrayed. It would be comparable to the melodrama of opera if it wasn't so scary.
