Jue 28, 2001 Milosevic Supporters Rally by KATARINA KRATOVAC Associated Press Writer BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) -- As their shock turned to anger, thousands of Slobodan Milosevic's supporters rallied outside the prison where he was jailed until his extradition Thursday to the U.N. war crimes tribunal. Chanting ''Treason!'' at the thick stone walls of Belgrade's Central Prison, Milosevic supporters protested his sudden handover to the court in The Hague, Netherlands. The mob moved to Belgrade's main square, where it swelled to 3,000 people. Several television cameramen who ventured too close were beaten. Milosevic's wife, Mirjana Markovic, who heads the communist Yugoslav Left Party, sat in a car parked outside the prison along with her daughter, Marija, and a daughter-in-law. No one came out of the prison to greet them. The mood was gloomy at the headquarters of Milosevic's Socialist Party. Zivadin Jovanovic, the party's acting head, blasted the Serbian government and Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic for agreeing to hand over Milosevic, saying it amounted to a coup d'etat. ''What happened is that Djindjic suspended the constitutional system of Yugoslavia,'' Jovanovic told The Associated Press. ''Djindjic introduced dictatorship, and the responsibility for that lies on him and all others who did nothing to prevent this.'' At the rally, Socialist official Dusko Marasovic said that ''our worst nightmares have come true. The masks have fallen from the Serbian traitors, especially Djindjic.'' The ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party described Milosevic's extradition as ''one of the worst criminal acts in Serbian history.'' ''Djindjic and Kostunica are the greatest traitors of the Serbian people,'' said Vojislav Seselj, leader of the Radical Party. ''The Serbian people must not suffer treason and humiliation. Patriotic parties demand the arrest of all the violators of the Constitution... We will drive Kostunica out of his rat hole.'' Members of the Radical Party joined the pro-Milosevic protest in downtown Belgrade, chanting: ''Uprising! Uprising!'' They also vented their anger at media crews and passersby, beating several people. Across the street from the rally, Belgrade's Media Center offered shelter to reporters and media crews attacked by Milosevic's supporters. Radical Party member Aleksandar Vucic said the ''fight ahead will be tough because we face a mighty opponent -- criminals that do anything the Americans order them to.'' ''We must rise up to defend Serbia,'' Vucic said. ''We shall kill Djindjic,'' some of the Radicals shouted back. .... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
