Michael, I totally agree. In a way Ilic is abusing the public's lack of interest by (as many expect) in some way or another enriching himself or his sponsors.
This deal stinks and is potentially costing us Serbs a lot of money for a lot of years in the future.
I was even more amazed to read that the government is going to pay for the land that is needed. Which is another cause for land-speculation.
People like Ilic are poison for Serbia. Hiding behind a 'sumadija-patriottic' facade, but in the meantime only chasing their own interest. It sickens me to see this kind of people in power forever.
I find it most interesting that the word primitive is most often used as a term of abuse in Serbia by those who exemplify its meaning.
It was unlikely ever to be the case that the hidden contract contained an outright corrupt deal that would benefit Mr Ilic: he may have been smart enough to fabricate an education for himself, but he is not smart enough to have engineered a major contract to benefit himself directly. I would say that Mr Ilic is now most angry purely because as we all now know the specifics of the contract (namely where the road actually goes), he will be unable to profit from what previously only he knew.
For mine though, this story was marked (and I must say appallingly) not by its specifics, nor by the journalistic intrigue that surrounded it, but rather by the absolute apathy that the average Serb seemed to demonstrate with regard to it. A nothing story which we have all read six million times before on Kosovo is guaranteed to generate at least thirty-five comments on these pages, but the stories on this contract rarely sparked a reaction at all. I would say that this is a fairly significant indictment on the citizens of this country: if you don't care, you deserve to be governed (and by extension, taken advantage of) by people like Ilic.
