Tadic Ready to Make a Deal With the Devil to Stay in Power

In this case, Tadic seems to have made a deal with the devil's envoy, an ugly little demon, LSD LDP's Cheda the Junkie—a pathetic degenerate who represents the only political party in Serbia which openly advocates recognition of Kosovo independence and, in general, total annihilation and dissolution of Serbian state.

Cheda the Junkie, suspected of massive involvement with criminal gangs of all colors, a moral leper whose life philosophy is derived from the back allies of street swindlers and purse snatchers, is at the same time the most generously sponsored Serbian "politician" by the foreign powers, even though he hardly manages to scrape a single vote outside his private circle of degenerates and thugs at every elections.

But constantly flushed with massive foreign funds and stubborn support from abroad, Cheda the Junkie does what he's paid for, regardless of how few people give him their votes in Serbia, and that is to diligently work on destroying Serbia from within, by advancing and propagating the unthinkable ideas equal to the grand treason, for which, in any half-normal state, he would've been hanged in a public square long time ago.

While Tadic didn't think much about forming a pre-election coalition with Nenad Canak, a malignant heavyweight separatist, who has been openly advocating secession of Serbian northern region of Vojvodina for years, he shied away from openly accepting Cheda the Junkie in his pre-elections' coalition also, knowing fully well that would cost him too many votes, and would deal a final death-blow to his empty slogans about keeping Kosovo-Metohija within Serbia.

We now learn Tadic will for sure adopt Cheda's scum after the elections, because he figures he desperately needs every single seat in the Parliament and if Cheda's degenerates and street thugs pry a handful of seats, he won't hesitate to jump in the same sack with them.

DS Welcomes the Degenerate as a Valuable Political Partner

First, it was Tadic's party Deputy President Dusan Petrovic, who told U92... uh, B92 TV on April 25 that "the President of the Liberal-Democratic Party Cedomir Jovanovic is a welcome political partner", since he supports the "continuation of the European integrations".

"I am convinced that the List for European Serbia [Canak-Tadic-Dinkic coalition] will be the core around which a new government will be formed", Petrovic, the highest DS official after Tadic, said few weeks ago.

Cheda Announces Post-Electoral Coalition with Tadic: DS and LDP Work for the Same Goals

Yesterday, Cheda the Junkie said his party will enter the coalition with Tadic's DS "after the parliamentary elections on May 11 [...] and finish the job others avoided for years."

He said that his and Tadic's party will "reject Kostunica's principles", as if they haven't done so already.

"We wanted to make a deal with DS [prior to elections] because we know that is our obligation. We know that the DS voters wish for the same things as the LDP voters. We could not do this during the campaign, but we shall do it after May 11 and finish the job others were avoiding for years," traitor said in Kragujevac, during his campaign tour.

He said that one of Tadic's and his main tasks, once they form a new government, will be to arrest Radovan Karadzic and General Ratko Mladic, and that he and Tadic "don't need the Hague tribunal prosecutor to tell them they must punish all of our criminals". He also said that Serbia "must change its policy towards Kosovo".

He added that "those who can't finish that job, need to move aside, and allow someone who can and wants" to take over the power. KLA's Cheda also told his listeners that "he believes in Europe as an expression of common wishes and common vision [whatever that means]. If we did not have a right to such life, then let our children live in Serbia from which we shall go to Kosovo the same way people today go from France to Germany." Yes, that is exactly what he said, without getting arrested.

Now, even though this coalition between Canak-Tadic-Dinkic and Cheda the Junkie will not be publicly announced until after the elections, Glas Javnosti has discovered that it is already operational: Cheda and Tadic rolled up their sleeves and worked jointly on collecting signatures to enable as many national minorities as possible to enter the parliamentary race, counting on gathering all of their parliament seats to line up behind Tadic and his third, hidden coalition partner Cheda, after the elections.

For Tadic and Cheda Even the Minorities are Not Enough

Article by Jelena Velinovic, Glas Javnosti

"[Tadic's] DS and [Cheda's] LDP would benefit from minorities getting as many MP mandates as possible, so they have agreed to help them collect the signatures," said political expert Goran Budzak.

"The DS leader [Boris Tadic] is most interested in the large number of minority parties, because he seriously counts on their support", said analyst Aleksandar Pavic.

Even though a condition of 10,000 signatures minimum was set for the minorities who wish to enter the race for Parliament seats on May 11, the entire 10 minority lists have managed to cross this ramp. The unusual interest for parliamentary elections was shown by Hungarians, Bosniaks, Gorani, Vlah minority, Montenegrins, Albanians, Bunjevo minority and no less than three Roma parties. The only logical response to a question where did so many minorities manage to gather so many signatures, the analysts say, is a generous support of certain political parties, for the sake of staying in power.

It is not a secret that a pro-EU block, led by Boris Tadic's DS, most seriously counts on the support of the minorities. But their plan might not work as well as expected because, even if the "List for European Serbia" [Canak-Tadic-Dinkic] which, according to the analysts, could get up to 80 MP seats, with [Cheda] Jovanovic's LDP getting up to 20 mandates, are backed by all of the minority lists, they would still lack some 10 mandates to form the government. This would bring Socialist Party [SPS] into the game, which the EUrocrats want to avoid. In any case, Glas interviewees stress "someone was very eager to get at least ten minority lists to enter the electoral race".

The MP Seat Worth 15,000 Votes

In order to enter the Parliament, national minority parties which do not have to cross the 5% census [as the other parties who enter the race in Serbia have to get at least 5 percent of the votes cast in order to get seats in Parliament], would need to win at least 0.4% of the votes, according to the calculations. Being that the MP mandate in the upcoming elections will be worth between 15,000-16,000 votes, the minority lists, scattered like this, could count on some 10 Parliament representatives and, therefore, on however slight possibility to become a tip on the electoral scales which could decide the future government.

The Longest List of Parties Since 1990

The elections scheduled for May 11 will feature the longest list of parties since the multi-party system was introduced in Serbia in 1990: 22 political parties, coalitions and citizen groups will be in the race. In the Parliamentary elections held previously, in 2007, 20 electoral lists were submitted, while 19 took part four years earlier.

CeSID's Djordje Vukovic said that the weight of each mandate will depend on the number of people who cast their votes.

"If the turnout is around 65%, the minority parties would need to win between 15,000-16,000 of votes in order to get their representative in the Parliament. It is expected that between 150,000-200,000 of the minority members will take part in the elections, so all of the minority lists together could count on some 10 mandates. It is incredible that as many as 10 minority lists will take part in the elections on May 11, since the condition was to gather 10,000 signatures each. So, it is easy to conclude that they did not achieve this without someone's help, and even by circumventing the law here and there," Vukovic said, adding that the dispersion will be most costly precisely for the minorities, which would have gotten more mandates on a common list.

DS and LDP were Collecting Signatures for Minorities

Political expert Goran Budzak said the fact that minorities managed to collect 10,000 signatures each is a coup on its own, since they claimed that even the 3,000 signatures that were needed before, were a problem.

"It is clear that DOS is being created anew [DOS, "Democratic Opposition of Serbia" was a foreign-funded coalition of 18 diverse political parties which was used by CIA for a state coup in Serbia on October 5, 2000]. DS and LDP are keen to have minorities get as many mandates as possible, so they agreed to help them collect the signatures. It was impossible for minorities to gather signatures of their ethnic group members scattered throughout Serbia in such a short timespan, so the members of DS and LDP rushed to help them. In this way, after the elections, DS-LDP coalition will have some, at least theoretical chance, to try to win over the SPS [Socialists]. They will offer them ministries, some boards, the things that could attract some Socialists," said Budzak.

Political analyst Aleksandar Pavic also finds it unrealistic for as many as ten national minority parties to cross over the legal ramp. Still, "this works most to the advantage of the List for European Serbia."

"Hungarians have already stated they are for the EU and are willing to cooperate with Tadic, and this is the way other minority parties are more and more starting to act. It is absolutely clear that such a high number of minority parties suits Tadic most, because he counts on their support with the utmost seriousness. It is also clear that the minority lists have not gathered 10,000 signatures each on their own," Pavic concluded.
