[edit] Role in SANU Memorandum and 1980's Serbian politics

The page doesn't mention Rašković's involvement in writing the SANU Memorandum of 1986. Some sources claim that he co-authored the memorandum, but I cannot find satisfactory confirmation of that. The sources that make that claim (such as [1]) and the weaker claim that the memorandum was being reviewed in his Primošten house ([2]) seem highly biased and unreliable. On the other hand, this book doesn't mention Rašković as being part of the memorandum committee. [3] Although the objectivity of a book that openly vindicates the Memorandum is highly questionable, I see no reason for its authors to omit Rašković's name.

Maybe the wikipedia page should at least mention that Rašković maintained ties with Dobrica Ćosić and other prominent Serbian academics in the 1980's, some of whom were involved in the Memorandum. Rašković's 1990 involvement in politics was a result of these connections, not an accident. 83.131.72.99 16:39, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
