PM infobox
I added prime minister infobox, but it looks damn ugly. Should I remove it or keep it? --Dijxtra 17:27, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Wrong information regarding meeting between Tuđman and Milošević in Karađorđevo
I fixed some misinformation... they did not talked about the parting of Bosnia and Herzigovina, as recently written on the online site of the newspaper: Večernji list http://www.vecernji-list.hr/newsroom/news/international/687267/index.do on ending Marković political carrier.

They discussed on getting Ante Marković out of politics. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.246.7.13 (talk • contribs).

Ante was a genius
Ante Markovic, the last premier of former Yugoslavia was a real genious. With his economic reforms he could save Yugoslavia from crisis and with the growing support from West from that time - make his country an EU member long before Poland, Chech Republic or Hungary. Ah Ante, if you could just win over all the crappy nationalists and propagators of evil and distruction from your time, you could have made Yugoslavia a much better place to live for all its citizens. And who knows, maybe you and your party 'SRS' COULD HAVE WON in the elections from 1990? It's very suspicious and very strange how could Ante's party, which had a 90% pre-election support between the people in all parts of ex-Yugoslavia,- be just a minor winner after the ellections. Very Suspicious and untolerable! Who knows what was going on behind the election scenes in those confusing days and how many votes were all falsified. But never mind! A day will come when all those evil-spreaders and hatridge propagators between the yugoslavian nations, who ruined the country and whose remains are still existant, even on the pages of this popular encyclopedia,-will be CHARGED for all their evil manipulations! The spirit of the country they killed will not forgive them! Never! Or, as the proud lyrics of its anthem says:' Damned is the one, who betrayed his homeland!'-All those who betrayed and ruined SFR Yugoslavia will be damned forever, untill the last of them dies. Long live Ante and his ideas that he had about the happier life of all ex-yugoslavians! May his ideas be revived and may his dream come true in some other surroundings, on some other grounds, integrated in their new home for all - The European Union! All the best! Cheers!

Here are some old-new facts about how much was Ante Markovic and his party popular in the ex-yugoslavian republics, and what was the 'reason' that his huge fandom in all Yugoslavia turned into a fandom of nationalists, who later destroyed the country.

''In the spring of 1990, Marković was by far the most popular politician, not only in Yugoslavia as a whole, but in each of its constituent republics. He should have been able to rally the population for Yugoslavism against the particularist nationalisms of Milošević in Serbia or Tuđman in Croatia and he should have been able to count on the obedience of the armed forces. He was supported by 83% of the population in Croatia, by 81% in Serbia and by 59% in Slovenia and by 79% in Yugoslavia as a whole. This level of support showed how much of the Yugoslav population remained strongly committed to the state's preservation.

''But Marković had coupled his Yugoslavism with the IMF "Shock Therapy" programme and EC conditionality and it was this which gave the separatists in the North West and the nationalists in Serbia their opening. The appeal of the separatists in Slovenia and Croatia to their electorates involved offering to repudiate the Marković-IMF austerity and by doing so help their republics prepare to leave Yugoslavia altogether and "join Europe". The appeal of Milošević in Serbia was based around the idea that the West was acting against the Serbian people's interests. These nationalist appeals were ultimately successful: in every republic, beginning with Slovenia and Croatia in the spring, governments ignored the monetary restrictions of Marković's stabilisation programme in order to win votes.

Sad, but true. Anyway, as the integrating proces of West Balkan countries (Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Albania) is starting to put on wight, maybe Ante can consider another premier's position in one of the future common bodies of this integration process.

Location of death
Well, this was odd. Poslovni dnevnik said Sarajevo, but HRT said Zagreb. Dnevni avaz says he was supposed to arrive in Sarajevo today, so that was the probable source of confusion. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 12:09, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
