Slavko Curuvija, editor of Dnevni Telegraf (Daily Telegraph) was one of the regime's own. Until he stepped out of line, first with a swingeing criticism of Milosevic's 10-year rule in his weekly Evropljanin (The European), followed by an exposé of corruption in his wife's Yugoslav United Front Party.
