well we all know they voted, but now the Prez responds:
Serbian President Boris Tadic has recognised the results of Montenegro's vote for independence, in the first official response from Serbia.
"I accept the preliminary results reached by the referendum commission," Mr Tadic told a news conference.
sounds good, right? (well, 'good' meaning 'no civil war')
Later, Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica - a nationalist and fierce opponent of Montenegrin secession - said Serbia was ready to acknowledge the results "once they become final".
anyone else think that seems almost . . . ominous? "final"? what is the verification process? i know a few votes are under question, but i dont believe they are enough to shake it. I think this will be a looooong fight.
on a more important note, what the hell happens to the World Cup team?
your thoughts?
