Capitalism has been fully restored in Yugoslavia, as is well-known, but this capitalism knows how to disguise.

And of course what happens in response to that is that there is a move to try and refashion the Internet so that anonymity is impossible, which of course leads to fears among all sorts of groups - civil rights groups, NGOs, and political parties - that the Internet is going to be used simply as a method of control.
