EDITORIAL

Opportunities in the Balkans Once again, there are changes being made to the map of our neighborhood. The Montenegrins have voted themselves out of their federation with Serbia. Meanwhile, the imminent independence of Kosovo will put paid to whatever was still left of the old Yugoslavia after the bloody wars of the 1990s. Irrespective of the outcome of events, it is fortunate that this time it is politics that has the last word, and not «other means,» as the political philosopher Carl von Clausewitz said.

From Everything to Hallelujah Until a committee of television executives and politicians decides whether the extortionately expensive outfit of our «absolute star» - Anna Vissi - will go on display in a museum or will be cut up into pieces and stored in safe deposit boxes, we can only feel thankful that the «popular vote» deprived us of the top spot at the Eurovision song contest.
