The instability Nikolic will cause is greatly exagerrated. It would be the perfect case for Russians & Chinese to buy businesses the west is pulling out of at cheap prices.

Also. The NIS offer was not a cheap price considering the Russian offer is nearly 3 times what MOL/OMV were offering.

Do you think the Russians and Chinese invest on vastly different criteria to the west. Most international investors want to get a stable return on their investment. Nikolic wil cause instability about Serbia's future. China will not want to invest in that situation, and Russia will only invest if it can get assets (like NIS) at bargain basement prices (as indeed it is).
Remember investment is generally about cold hard profit for any country. And when that isn't going to happen, all investors will pull out whatever their national alliances.

Their won't be an investment pull out it will be an investment replacement. It will go from westerners to Russians or even the Chinese.

I hope that Mr. Nikolic will win because we Albanians will have I will say about four countries in Balkans, it was a very sad when Milosevic went away because it ruined our plans but thanks God we are having Mr. Nikolic to pursue our plans.

Good job Mr. Nikolic go for it.

Employing and fine-tuning the same sophisticated techniques used in Serbia in 2000. Well it was widely expected that the NGO-proxies will apply the same methods throughout the current elections.

In the short term this is not such an issue. The same was said of the Slovak governement when it was formed through a coalition containing the Nationalist Slovak party but they still seem to have been accepted and the Slovak Crown did drop but is now strong again. In any case this is not the government but the Presidency which is in large part a figure head. I guess the main responsibility being that he is head of the army is what concerns the US and its "few" EU lapdogs who wish to impose their imperial goals and false promises!

Maybe it would take such a "radical" option for the west to sit up and finally get the message Serbia is not for partitioning as how they wish!

which currency is stable these days anyway? ..... the US Fed just cut interest rates by another 75 points, expect another greenback free fall in the days ahead .... the rouble is on the upswing thanks to high oil prices ..... actually a stable government is what Serbia or any country needs .... and a stable government means one that commands a majority in parliament, whether it is the Radicals or Tadic. It is precisely a minority government that must cater to the whims of its coalition partners that will paralyze a country and hence really weaken its currency in the middle to longer term.

Exactly. Nikolic is seen as bad for investment. Serbia's economy is not in too bad a state (although massive changes are still needed), but a nikolic victory will mean that investors will lose confidence in Serbia's future direction. They will remove their money, and the stock market/currency will fall dramatically. Markets are usually a good sign of the future (the possibility of US recession is why world markets are falling now). The response to a Nikolic victory, is just a sign of the poor future to come with a Nikolic presidency.
