BELGRADE -- Serbian authorities on Monday threw open state security files compiled during the rule of Slobodan Milosevic and the communists before him. During the 13-year presidency of Milosevic [much of occuring during wartime], opponents were shadowed, wiretapped and routinely labeled as "internal enemies," "extremists" and "terrorists." But the [so-called] notorious State Security department was reorganized since Milosevic's ouster last October, and all citizens may see their own file if there is one, according to a police statement. More than a dozen telephone numbers in cities cross Serbia, the main Yugoslav republic, were set up for callers wanting to know if there is a police file on them and the telephone numbers were constantly busy Monday. Beta news agency reported that in the central Serbian town of Kragujevac thousands inquired if there were a file on them. Making copies or taking the files home is not allowed. To read their file, people must arrive at a previously agreed time and place. But thousands of files were destroyed by Milosevic's agents in the days after the former strongman's ouster, before the new leadership of Vojislav Kostunica consolidated its authority. The former chief of state security, Rade Markovic, is under arrest and charged with destroying part of the archives.
