No doubt that this case is important; but as article pointed out, this is only a trial of the people who are charged with actually killing Djindjic; not with the politicians and systems behind his assaniation; I think a true test would come when we have more information about who was actually behind the assasination; and if they go on trial as well.
Good point--I wasn't very detailed. I do mean the trial itself, more than any specific verdict. I would hope that the unanswered question "Who was behind this, and why?" will be inescapable.
