Abstract
On 1 April 2001, former president Milosevic of the FRY was arrested on charges of corruption and war crimes. He gave himself up when he no longer had the loyalty of the army, which he thought he commanded until the late evening before. Then it seemed that the democratically elected government of the FRY would be overthrown in a coup d’état. Now not only rule of law prevailed, but the last dictator of Europe was also extradited to The Hague in June of the same year, under heavy American pressure. This was a case of very clear political conditionality — the application of ‘hard power’ for ‘hard values’.
