The 11th anniversary of the NATO intervention is now being commemorated in Serbia, yet few people have any idea why we were bombed. As time passes the ‘NATO aggression’ is becoming part of the dominant national mythology, according to which Serbs are forever innocent victims persecuted by international powers.

If I were to look for the source of this anomy, it would be the Democratic Party. Why are they such a big problem? Because ever since the beginning we had high hopes in them. They should have been this civic, democratic, pro-Western, modernizing party. This is what drew the people who believed in this to them. However, very early in their development a destructive gene was built into them, and it is the source of all their problems, and therefore ours.
