Abstract
All post-communist countries experienced public dissatisfaction over the economic dislocation of transition to a democratic market economy as well as to the access to pure democratic values. As a result, few anticommunist reformers have won consecutive elections everywhere in Eastern Europe. Serbia in many respects similar: public opinion is increasingly disaffected with its leading politicians (mainly DOS) and the way they have handled the reform process. The difference is that Serbs, most of whom experienced great economic hardships under Milosevic, feel that DOS- leading party, has not done enough since coming to power. In the government bureaucracy, judiciary, media and public opinion institutions, few changes made, while the economy continues to sputter, burdened by bureaucracy and regulations.
