    What this article talks about are typical color revolution tactics. We’ve seen them over and over again, the exact same playbook in at least half a dozen countries by now, from Serbia to Georgia, Belarus and Ukraine.

    This article is literally glorifying a US orchestrated color revolution/regime change. The CIA front NED admitted to being behind it:

    American assistance to Otpor and the 18 parties that ultimately ousted Milosevic is still a highly sensitive subject. But Paul B. McCarthy, an official with the Washington-based National Endowment for Democracy, is ready to divulge some details…

    …McCarthy says, ‘‘from August 1999 the dollars started to flow to Otpor pretty significantly.’’ Of the almost $3 million spent by his group in Serbia since September 1998, he says, ‘‘Otpor was certainly the largest recipient.’’ The money went into Otpor accounts outside Serbia. At the same time, McCarthy held a series of meetings with the movement’s leaders in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, and in Szeged and Budapest in Hungary. Homen, at 28 one of Otpor’s senior members, was one of McCarthy’s interlocutors. ‘‘We had a lot of financial help from Western nongovernmental organizations,’’ Homen says. ‘‘And also some Western governmental organizations.’’

    This comes straight from the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2000/11/26/magazine/who-really-brought-down-milosevic.html

    “Radio Free Europe” gloated about it and celebrated it: https://archive.is/rAuXE

    Also, Milosevic was innocent of the crimes the US’s kangaroo court accused him of: https://www.counterpunch.org/2016/08/01/the-exoneration-of-milosevic-the-ictys-surprise-ruling/
