>NOVI SAD, Yugoslavia - Supporters and opponents of Slobodan Milosevic >clashed on Saturday at a rally of about 3,000 demonstrators loyal to >Yugoslavia's ex-president, who was arrested three weeks ago on >corruption charges. > >In the fourth such demonstration since Milosevic was detained and >transferred to a Belgrade prison, the ex-president's supporters traded >insults with a group of his opponents. Both sides hurled eggs or other >missiles. > >Milosevic opponents chanted "Save Serbia and kill yourself, Slobodan!," >while his supporters appealed for the former president's release and >vowed revenge if they succeeded in returning to power. > >"Serbia is now full of political prisoners. There are no thieves in >Serbian prisons, only political prisoners. Milosevic is a political >prisoner," one senior official of Milosevic's once-ruling Socialist >Party of Serbia (SPS), Ivica Dacic, told the crowd. > >"We're gonna get you for this crime of arresting Milosevic when we >return (to power)," said Milena Arezina, ex-president of the Commercial >Court in Belgrade, one of the pillars of Milosevic's might toward the >end of his era. > >... Another SPS official, Branislav Ivkovic, demanded that President >Vojislav Kostunica, who succeeded Milosevic last year following a >popular revolt, immediately call early elections. > >He said the ruling Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) would not last >long enough to hand Milosevic over to The Hague. "DOS will have no time >to hand Milosevic over because elections will be called in September," >he said. _______________________________________________ Marxist-Leninist-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.wwpublish.com/mailman/listinfo/marxist-leninist-list
