Balkan Ghost of Finding Karadzic writes that Montenegrin politicians have succeeded in convincing the world and the world media “that Karadzic was Serbia's problem and not theirs”: “Today, newly independent Montenegro is seen by the world as the “next Croatia,” a country that will quickly become prosperous and European through its tourism industry and beaches. Though this newest country does have great beaches, world perception is undeservedly rosy. In reality, Montenegro remains a lawless smuggling cartel run by Russian biznizmen, and an uncontested safe haven for Radovan Karadzic.”
