ABSTRACT

In a work published in 1968, Samuel P. Huntington suggested that the most essential distinction among systems was between those capable of assuring public order and those not capable of performing this function. Slobodan Milosevic was born in 1941 in Pozarevac, Serbia. World War II continued to rage during the critical first four years of his life when, as psychologists agree, a child is most in need of domestic stability and parental attention. When the First Balkan War broke out in 1912, the Serbian army encountered essentially no resistance, reaching the outskirts of Prizren on 31 October. In the wake of these demonstrations, various concessions were made to the Albanians. Some of them, such as redesignating the autonomous province a socialist autonomous province and allowing locals to fly the Albanian flag beneath the Yugoslav flag, were purely symbolic. The uprising threatened to undermine Ibrahim Rugova, who continued to insist on pacifism and negotiation.
