I�m just fine, Milosevic tells B92

here and I�m just fine,
watching all of this like all the citizens of Serbia,� Slobodan
Milosevic has just told Radio B92 in his
first ever interview with us.
�There are a great number of citizens gathered in front of the house,
not just Socialist Party
supporters but many who have our nation and our national worth in
their hearts, and I can tell you
that we�re all proud to see them in such a mood,� said Milosevic
The ousted president was talking to us at 1.20 a.m. after we had

Those reports had earlier been confirmed by a number of senior

expect that this business will
end in a righteous way, in the way of our people�.
