Summary/Abstract: Serb Progressive Party /SNS/ leader Tomislav Nikolic’s “hunger and thirst” strike was a politi¬cal failure. For, neither the general public, Serb Orthodox Church /SPC/, European nor Russian officials supported him in a way he might have expected. Democratic Party /DS/ profited from his strike by rebuffing it from the very begin¬ning as a non-European method of political struggle, explained the director of Transparency International, Vladimir Goati. “Democratic Party already has a head start since it is in power. If it manages to make a fresh step towards Europe, it will earn another score for the elec¬tions,” he says.
