Dialogue Buster Lands New Job

Vladimir Orlic (BETAPHOTO/MILOS MISKOV/DS)

Senior Serbian Progressive Party official Vladimir Orlic was elected on Aug. 2 speaker of the new parliament. Orlic has been brutal in debates with his opponents over the past several years owing to which he has acquired the image of a politician who prevents dialogue in debates. As the new speaker he is likely to be less scathing, although only to the extent to which that suits his party.
