It seems the old soviet block countries are going through the same type of crime syndicate like we did in the '30s and the '50s.

BELGRADE, Serbia (CNN) -- Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic, who played a key role in the overthrow of Slobodan Milosevic, has been shot dead by a sniper.
The government said after Wednesday's assassination it would seek to declare a state of emergency, and local media reported all flights from Belgrade airport had been suspended.
Djindjic, 50, was hit twice in the chest in front of the main government building in Belgrade at about 12:45 p.m. local time (1145 GMT) on Wednesday. He underwent emergency surgery but doctors were unable to save his life, hospital officials said.
Another person was wounded in the shooting, police said.
A sniper was reported to have been seen in the area, according to Serbian television. Police were stopping cars and searching them in the area around the shooting. Three people have been arrested, according to state TV.
Officials are speculating that the shooting could be linked to a crime wave in the country and the government's efforts to stamp out crime.
