As he struggled to contain the political crisis caused by the extradition of Slobodan Milosevic, he said Montenegro, Serbia's sister republic in the rump of Yugoslavia, should be allowed to leave the federation if it wants to. His comments raised the political stakes after Zoran Zizic, Yugoslavia's Prime Minister, resigned in protest at Milosevic's transfer to The Hague, causing the government to collapse. Mr Zizic belongs to a Montenegrin party until recently allied to Milosevic's Socialists. The underlying tensions in Belgrade were exposed by Mr Djindjic's decision to hand over Milosevic to the United Nations in defiance of a federal constitutional court order temporarily banning his extradition. Relations between Mr Djindjic and President Vojislav Kostunica appear to be deteriorating rapidly. Mr Kostunica claimed that he was outraged when he heard Milosevic had been handed over. In a television speech he denounced the extradition as illegal. Serbian News Network - SNN [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antic.org/
