I’m so glad a country who has never had a President convicted of war crimes takes enforcing the law against all its citizens seriously. From AP-
Serbian President Boris Tadic faces a fine for allegedly drinking champagne at a stadium with his sports minister and the head of the soccer federation.
Judge Zoran Pasalic said Tuesday the three are requested to appear in court on Dec. 1.
Drinking alcohol at and around sports venues is illegal in Serbia and fines range from $150 to $1,500.
Police filed misdemeanor charges against all three officials after photos were published of them holding glasses filled with champagne after Serbia’s 5-0 victory over Romania last month in World Cup qualifying.
Tadic said he drank no champagne and just made a toast. I don’t care, throw the book at him.
You can turn off the snark now.
