(Even if what happened in Serbia was more of a coup d'etat.) Some practical advice is at http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_963000/963766.stm It has emerged that one group in particular, from the town of Cacak, played a key role in the day's events, and had carefully prepared for it. Cacak's tough and outspoken mayor, Velimir 'Velja' Ilic, was given the task of spearheading the semi-spontaneous opposition protest. Mr Ilic organised a huge convoy of more than 10,000 protesters from Cacak, and personally led them through numerous police road blocks on 5th October. A TV crew from the Belgrade-based independent production company VIN followed them throughout the day and interviewed local opposition leaders and supporters. Among the protesters were off-duty members of the police and the army, martial arts experts and professional boxers, according to Mr Ilic. ''We established a team of young professionals, paratroopers from the Yugoslav Army and young policemen, and we coordinated this with the most elite units of the Interior Ministry Police in Belgrade. We even had plainclothes police coordinating with nearby towns," he said. Mr Ilic and his supporters took a bulldozer with them to help them break through the police blockades. When they got to Belgrade, they used it to smash their way through the entrance of the Serbian TV building, a critical moment in the day's proceedings. They spearheaded the storming of the parliament building, leading the crowd as it broke through the police cordon outside. Once inside the building, he and his supporters were filmed by the Serbian TV crew singing: "We are the Cacak boys, bulldozers are our toys".
