The Ten Commandments

by Milan Milosevic

Speaker Radoman Bozovic (former Serbian Prime Minister) did not say when he would place the initiative on the agenda, while the socialists, used to rule with the help of truncated institutions in the legal void, have made it clear that they don't find the idea totally disagreeable, but that they will "see". The members of parliament belonging to the Serbian Radical Party are, in fact, opening a topic which they consider to be appropriate for those typical arguments between patriots - they enumerate Cosic's ten "sins":

- He formed a para-state organ called the Council for coordinating the state policy

- He took for himself certain competencies which belong to presidents in the so called presidential system

- He appointed his associates and special advisors at his own initiative

- He avoided to fulfill his constitutional obligation to propose judges of the Federal constitutional court and the Federal court, as well as the federal state prosecutor

- He made statements that he cannot cooperate with the assembly of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia although he is obliged to render it accounts concerning his work

- He made it possible for the government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to release arbitrarily from prison a large number of convicted war criminals

- He withdrew the Yugoslav Army's troops from the Prevlaka peninsula

- He promised to resign if the political parties he favoured don't win the December elections, and when they experienced a catastrophic defeat, he broke his promise

- He tried to imposed the concept of a concentration government on the parliamentary political parties
