In fact this is what Europeans used to understand by the term democracy. But as the US Ambassador to NATO, Nicholas Burns, announced in advance of last month's federal election in Slovakia that the victor of that election, Vladimir Meciar, was 'unacceptable to NATO and the US,' Brussels and Washington decided who could take command in Bratislava. In the name of democracy, as dictated by NATO.] � � Bush Congratulates Slovakia Premier October 3, 2002 -Meciar was unable to form a governing coalition because potential partners were warned by the United States and the European Union that Slovakia has little chance of joining NATO and the EU under Meciar. WASHINGTON (AP)--President Bush telephoned Prime Minister Mikulas Dzurinda of Slovakia on Thursday to congratulate him on his re-election. Dzurinda pledged to press his agenda of reforms, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said. The SDKU party of Dzurinda finished second in last month's election, but did better than expected against the HZDS party of authoritarian former prime minister Vladimir Meciar. Meciar was unable to form a governing coalition because potential partners were warned by the United States and the European Union that Slovakia has little chance of joining NATO and the EU under Meciar. He had a record of playing loose with democracy during his five years in office after the breakup of Czechoslovakia in 1993 and the creation of an independent Slovakia. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
