Georgia: Saakashvili Tested: Is Georgia’s 'Uniter' Up To The Task?
For all his embracing of modern Western-style human rights and democracy, Georgian President
Mikhail Saakashvili aspires to be more like a medieval king. He wants, perhaps, to be another
King David the Builder, the 12th century ruler who liberated the
towns and countryside from the Seljuk Turks and consolidated Georgian power at
the dawn of a golden age that was to last over a century.

Macedonia: VMRO’s Power Struggle, and an Arrest on Ice
Balkanalysis.com has learned that the “International
Community”- the western embassies, think-tanks and ruling NGOs- is placing
enormous pressure on the Macedonian government not to issue an arrest
warrant for former PM Ljubco Georgievski and his closest associates, for the
time being.
Note: According to 'Vreme,' Georgievski resurfaced in Skopje at Parliament yesterday. After sitting in on the session he reportedly bought beans and Macedonian hamburgers for 20 colleagues, paid for the entire lot, and left.

Russia: Putin’s Strategy: Optimism, Nationalism and Economic Discipline
Small countries without financial or technological
superiority must rely on human ability in order to thrive. Yet when the country in question happens to be
rather big and remain some degree of financial power, as is the case with Russia, than intelligent
human leadership can have far greater ramifications. Verily, one imagines that the mighty US might reign
supreme in all aspects, were Vladimir Putin leading it, and not the
ignoramuses currently in charge.

Book reviews: Troy, the Olympic Games and Elias (Part 1)
The mixed reception Wolfgang Petersen’s new film, ‘Troy,’
has received from the critics is indicative of the ambivalent relationship the
film starring Brad Pitt has with both itself and with the
written version of the ancient epic that has come down to us as one of the
most important parts of the ancient Greek literary legacy.

Balkans general: Land Mines, Leftover NATO Bombs Endanger the Balkans
“The truth is out there,” the
X-Files’ David Duchovny used to say when pondering paranormal phenomena.
Last week, Mexican military officials had a similar reaction to
their own UFO sighting. However, for their counterparts in far-off Kosovo, a
different kind of sighting has been taking precedence:
UXOs, or “unexploded
ordnance.”
