In what is excellent news for Europe as a whole and the many moderates within Serbia, the coalition of pro-European parties, led by President Boris Tadic, have claimed victory in Serbias elections. Due to the declaration of independence of Kosovo and the fact that the EU officially recognized and supported the declaration, there had been a lot of speculation that the nationalist parties would score a victory. These parties hold their sympathy with Milosevic and their ilk, and amongst their goals were leaving discussions with the EU for membership of Serbia and shielding Serbian war criminals from international courts. The Serbian people, as upset as many were with the independence of Kosovo, have mostly decided to not cast their lot with the nationalists again.
