Nationalist faces reformist in Serbian poll
AP , BELGRADE, SERBIA-MONTENEGRO
Tuesday, Jun 15, 2004,Page 6

A right-wing nationalist supporter of ousted President Slobodan Milosevic failed to win a majority Sunday in Serbia's presidential elections, forcing a runoff vote against a pro-Western reformist candidate in two weeks.

Tomislav Nikolic of the ultra-nationalist Serbian Radical Party garnered 31.62 percent of the votes cast, finishing ahead of Boris Tadic of the pro-Western Democratic Party with 27.93 percent, according to official results from Serbia's State Election Commission.

None of the contenders got more than the 50 percent of votes cast needed for immediate victory, the commission said after processing data from what it called a "reliable sample" of 10 percent of all ballots.

I don't want to make a generalization but with respect to Taiwan and China, when you hear the word 'Nationalist' it means 'Nazi Fascist Mafia Organization.' I don't know what's going on in Serbia but it's the job of the journalist to tell us the truth.
