Dragan Sutanovac says the Czar Lazar group is a minor threat, but Serbia could have problems with such organizations. The defense minister said that everyone who had wanted to wage war in this region over the last fifteen years had had sufficient opportunity, and that it was absurd that those who had preached war in the past were at it again today. "Serbia mustn't ignore Czar Lazar threat" “Everyone’s alive and financially better off than they were in the nineties, and things are hard for them only because they haven’t got any war. For some, it was a source of good political and economic benefit,” the minister said in an interview with daily Evropa. Speaking of the Czar Lazar paramilitary group, he said that they were, objectively, a minor group which, however, was making big problems. “The biggest problem linked to that group is not security. Rather, when we seek to register groups somewhere, and we ask for the matter to be taken care of, we get the answer: we’ll do it, but you get these groups gathering outside parliament, handing out fliers, hurling abuse at MPs, and you just let them go home,” Sutanovac explained. Deeming that the group did not constitute a threat, the minister said that such forms of exhibitionism had always existed, and that they were hard to stamp out. “Exhibitionism exists everywhere, it’s just that now it’s much easier to get carried away with it, and to view it emotionally,” he stressed. Meanwhile, Sutanovac said that he expected to suffer some stinging attacks, particularly from the Serb Radical Party (SRS). “The campaign against Boris Tadic will be such that they’ll attack me. They will be lead by ‘Duke’ (Tomislav) Nikolic’s biggest standard-bearers, who are Vjerica Radeta, Miss tourist guide from Kragujevac, Krasic, general Delic… They’ll try and demonstrate that we’ve destroyed the army, that we’ve jeopardized Serbia’s security,” predicted the minister.
