this is an extremely ill-informed and silly statement. i take it you started paying attention to the issue when the war began? please remember that the current FYU regime arose out of the very vibrant titoist apparatus, which, though relatively enlightened by east bloc standards, was hardly a libertarian outpost. 'regu- latory' harassment of media outlets--confiscation of transmitters and printing presses, etc.--has been a staple of the milosevic regime from Day One. and he hardly thought the idea up himself. if you would like to walk backwards through this history, copy the phrase "Studio B" and paste it into the search field of a browser pointed at (e.g.) altavista or google.
hope this helps.
