The fall of communist East Central Europe is now complete. A bloodless democratic revolution has come to Serbia. The corruption-ridden 13-year-old regime of Slobodan Milosevic is gone for good; the rule of law has returned, after all too long an absence. Milosevic and his allies have been replaced by committed and in some cases remarkably able democrats. The consolidation of this change will in all likelihood make the Balkans (of which Serbia is the most influential entity) geopolitically stable and economically viable. The manner in which this revolution was conducted, and the political and intellectual formation of its two main leaders, make it appropriate to call it the Prudent Revolution
