”The conquest of the Serbian party was only the start. Once in power, Milosevic continued to orchestrate huge rallies over the Kosovo issue throughout Serbia, attempting to export his revolution to the rest of Yugoslavia.”

“By basing his appeal on narrow Serbian chauvinism, rather than a broader Yugoslav nationalism, Milosevic united the Serbs at the price of alienating everyone else.”

“Milosevic was scarcely visible in the conflict and invariably professed his puzzlement over the carnage“

“Milosevic proved a disastrous economist. In the early Nineties, he had helped himself to the reserves of the national bank to bankroll his projects. By the end of the decade, most sectors of industry, including the once prosperous agricultural sector, were at a standstill.”

“Milosevic was a great poker player. He had a gift for detecting weakness in his opponents. But he was cunning, rather than intelligent, and, if he had any other strategy than remaining in power for as long as possible, it was never evident what it was.”

“Unlike Tito, Milosevic had no taste for the high life ... He appeared to have no hobbies, no friends, and no intellectual tastes whatever. The Milosevices did not entertain.”

“Milosevic had adopted several poses in his political lifetime. Initially putting himself forward as a technocrat, he then presented himself as a man of iron who would save Yugoslavia.”

“He failed miserably in all guises. The supposed technocrat left an economy in ruins and a nation impoverished. The saviour of Yugoslavia presided over Yugoslavia's implosion into five separate states.”
