||||||
A man stands in a supermarket aisle, dazed at the rows of bare shelves around him. Outside his view dangles a 500 million dinar note, the symbol of his country’s devastating hyperinflation, alongside a mugshot of Slobodan Milosevic, the imprisoned ex-leader of Yugoslavia and its heartland republic of Serbia. The billboard image, while technically inaccurate – there are plenty of goods in the stores, just no money to buy them – is driven home by a simple slogan: “Who is to blame?”
The ad, one in a series sponsored by reform group Otpor, is not just a challenge to Milosevic, currently in custody in a Belgrade jail.
