Whatever those "lesser evil" and "old-fashioned hardliner" mean. And they do sound like typical Reuters, AP, BBC etc. vocabulary. Not like Euro-identitarian, indeed.
The difference between two candidates - Boris Tadić and Tomislav Nikolić is the same difference as between Kasparov and Putin. And that's what Serbian people expects of Nikolić - to be our Putin. Nothing more and nothing less.
And that's why western countries and some of our neighbors fear him - he'll stop the downfall of Serbia, and he'll be able to solve "the Kosovo problem" once and for all. He'll also rely more on Russia, which would further weaken the positions of NATO and USA as well as EU in the Balkans, and that should be all good news for Europe itself.
War with the any of neighboring countries is out of the question. There's currently no reason for it and especially no possibilities. But certain countries in our neighborhood should know that from now on, they wouldn't be able to treat us the way they treat us all these years in the past!
