"Tadić taking over as prime minister would be disgraceful"

Yes, it is certainly weird in Serbian politics, where you lose the election for president, yet are offerd a higher position just because you can form a coalition to do so. I would be ashamed if I was Tadic, and disgraced if I was a DS minister. But maybe, these people have no shame?

LOL.
It seems our local Otporist and some of her off-springs here at B92 are in desperate need of some soul searching as well. Defending ballot riggings, foul play and a deeply unpopular former dictator clawing his way back to where he was imposed upon us in the first place and now this from within their own ranks? You people are soooo 90´s....

"...and party leaders to gang leaders, comparing, in this context, DS leader Boris Tadić with early 20th century Chicago gangster Al Capone:"

Al Capone was a mafia boss - better compare another politician a bit more in the south to him, his name also starts with a 'T..'

This is just a small part of a 2-hor long discussion in which a civic part of Serbia has voiced it's serious concerns about state of democracy in Serbia. Unfortunately, meadia in Serbia are under huge owners' and/or editorial pressure from the unelected people who are in the polictial "elite" (e.g. cheifs of staff), and they have created a "picture of Serbia" in hich everything was just fine.
Now, the intelectuals in Serbia have been accused of supporting nationalistic political party's cnadidate for the President. In fact, they have stippulated that a principle of democracy includes a possibility of change, when voters decide so.
And yet, those who declare themselves democrats were first in line to "throw a stone" at the intelectuals, just because they did't support those who have became synonymous with corruption, nepotism, company buy-outs in a fraudulent way, "businesses" omnipotence of one man's office...
This debate was a first (and long expected) defence of the democratic principles in Serbia, that have been systematicaly ruined for 8 years since the mureder of the then PM Zoran Djindjic.
Hope is that it won't be the last one, and that Europe and the rest of the world will support these people with great ideas and without concrete power.

The former high ranking official of the LDP Party believes that Boris Tadic cannot be new Prime Minister after he lost his bid to be re-elected as President, and if Tadic took over as Prime Minister, then it would be disgraceful.

This analysis is coming from a known unbiased source, because the LDP are the Natural Ally of the DS.

I believe that my comments are unbiased, and I have never wanted to have any reason to think of any Serbian Politician as a Puppet or Traitor; however, and most regrettably, the Facts speak for themselves.

I cannot totally disagree with this assessment, even if the language is a little strong, because all the DS are basically the same as Boris Tadic, and so it does not matter who is the Leader of the DS, except how it will affect an Unrigged Election Result.

I just hope that there is not an ulterior motive by the LDP, of blackmailing the DS to be in the next Government.

I have no proof for this, but I just wonder if the LDP, where in a DS, SPS, and LDP Coalition at the expense of the URS, then the LDP would have no objections to Boris Tadic being Prime Minister, because the LDP wants Votes from the SPS and the URS.

The LDP are cunningly using a Former Official, and the LDP’s Leader is deliberately avoiding the matter, and this could be the LDP’s strategy to be in the next Government, and it strongly suggests that Political Parties should think carefully in order to avoid an early Election, as happened after the 2007 Parliamentary Election.
