To be fair, Djindjic wasn’t the squeaky clean, loveable character that the western media would have you beleive. He had lots of dealing with the criminal underworld, in Montenegro, Serbia, Albania and possibly further abroad. His rise to power was anything but democratic and he employed his own cronies in positions to increase his power. He did extravegantly shady deals with the US and other foreign powers which were more to his benefit than to Serbia’s. It is hardly surprising that he eventually trod on the wrong set of toes and got himself into a little trouble. The man had enemies in the army, in parliament, in “the mafia”, in the police etc etc.
Nonetheless, I don’t beleive he deserved to die and I certainly don’t think his assassination was a good thing. Not for him, his poor family (with whom our thoughts should be during this difficult time), nor for the nation.
