Probably in a caudillo-type regime like Milosovic's, parlaiment is a lot less important than who el Chefe is. In an imperfect analogy, who cared who ran the Supreme Soviet?
-It seems Milosevic´s Serbia is a bit more democratic than former USSR. I would -consider it not a dictatorship, but a "half democracy" like Turkey, Malaysia -Peru, or Russia. Opposition is tolerated, but elections were always unfair due -to fraud and unequal access to media, not to mention some degree of repression. -But the information we have from the Guardian and from some Brazilian (where I -live) newspapers is that the president can´t do much withouth parliament support. -I don´t know if it´s correct and how the opposition of SPS in the Congress will -be managed.
