 In 1996, future Yugoslav President Vojislav Koštunica praised Ljotić in a public statement.Seeking to promote a romantic and nationalist picture of anti-Communism, Koštunica and his Democratic Party of Serbia ("Demokratska stranka Srbije", DSS) actively campaigned to rehabilitate figures such as Ljotić and Nedić following the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević and his socialist government in October 2000.Attempts to rehabilitate Ljotić have generated a mixed response from the Serbian Orthodox Church.
