Like any other management, the “newly formed” government of Serbia and Montenegro has its pros and cons that dictate image or perception of its success. Many facts are revealed, other information assumed, while mysteries are left to be spoken among common people. What is right, nobody can say. However, many self-authorized are speaking with pride on what should and ought to be done.

Leftovers of the old government still have a tremendous impact on happenings and important moves of the new one. It is very clear that the break from the previous form of government is not as clear-cut as it appears. New policies are a mirror image of those that people of Yugoslavia were so strongly trying to break a part from. Many members of the former political party in power, SPS, after the fifth of October Revolution, left the party and found their homes in the newly-formed government. It is a common belief that they continued making self-interest policies, just calling them a different name, or as some people call it, “same thing, different package.” But how could anyone predict differently? The real interest of people is neglected, while a series of political scandals are revealed as entertainment. Political opponents are familiar with each other, even though they never publicly admitted their cooperation and agreements on each other’s ways of conduct. President Kostunica always protected Milosevic’s Gen. Pavkovic, publicly, although he was unwanted, in the newly-formed government without anyone’s clear knowledge of reasons.

The former government had a strong control over national security and information available for press. On the other hand, the newly formed government finds revealing and releasing secret files to non-governmental organizations and the press as a good strategic move. This situation creates political chaos where former leaders are critiqued while being leaders of the new system. In such formed confusion, some of the owners of publishing companies paid their price of free speech with their own lives. Of course, none of these murders are solved, even though newly formed government is promising revealing of information. At the same, the press is practicing their freedom of speech with hatred toward the government when their primary purpose is communication of the present situation in a country. It is seems pointless talking about tolerance when the language of communication is violence.

Once the united new government got hold of the office, they were faced with rotten systems of the previous regime. The starting point was breakaway from the system whose goals were inhuman and methods demolishing. Revenge was neither the answer or a solution. With the coming of the democratic government, leaders of the previous regime extensively reused freedom of speech. It was ironic to see that former leaders of Milosevic’s regime and their destructive ideology stood up against their own shameful titles. However, they were calling for law and justice, while at the same time asking for reimbursements for damages made on humanity as the results of their own policies decisions. This picture of paradox is something that was inhuman, and it was hard for people to conceive and forget.
