Washington, D.C. -- How did Milosevic fare in this Sunday's elections? Can he be trusted to honor the elections results in the event of an opposition upset? What's next for the opposition movement in the former Yugoslavia in the event of a Milosevic victory? What can and should the West do in the wake of the elections to promote the growth of democracy in the former Yugoslavia and throughout the Balkans? What will the elections mean to the growing democracy in Montenegro and Kosovo's bid for independence? Balkans specialists Stojan Cerovic, Harriet Hentges, and Daniel Serwer are available for questions, commentary, and analysis in assessing the impact and implications of the elections in the former Yugoslavia, the Balkans, and beyond.
