Old Methods Applied Again The sad truth is that the very same methods of blackening political rivals, which Slobodan Milosevic's errand boys used to apply to endear themselves to their leader, have surfaced again. They resorted to a wide variety of photographic tricks, a "double photo" for instance, which created the illusion that the number of people attending Milosevic's pre-election rally was twice as high as it truly was. Their modern-day successors have montaged photos from earlier promotions of the director of the JUL directorate, hoping in vain that someone would believe that Serbia's incumbent health minister and a senior DSS official queued up in October 1998 to get her autograph. Of course he did not. Of course one should not be an expert in anthropometrics to see that the false Obren Joksimovic, in the photograph published by the Danas daily, is at least quarter a meter higher than the real Obren Joksimovic, let alone the different physical constitution. When we waged a struggle against Milosevic's regime, clumsy attempts by his quasi marketing experts to deceive the people were quite beneficial to us. And today?
