SERBIA: NOVI SAD: ANTI MILOSEVIC PROTESTS

(3 Jul 1999) Serbo-Croat/Nat Opposition to the Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic is hotting up in his own country. In the second large demonstration within a week, 5-thousand people in Novi Sad have called for a change of leadership as well as more autonomy for Vojvodina, a province in northern Serbia with a large ethnic Hungarian minority. Novi Sad -- north of Belgrade - was badly hit by NATO bombing campaign, an event which many people here blame on President Milosevic. Five -thousand people demonstrated against President Slobodan Milosevic's government in Novi Sad on Friday night. The city, 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of the capital Belgrade, is one of those most heavily damaged by NATO's 78-day bombing campaign. It was the second anti-government rally in Serbia this week. About 10-thousand supporters of the Alliance For Change rallied on Tuesday in the central Serbian city of Cacak. Demonstrators at the Novi Sad rally insisted that Milosevic and his supporters must resign. SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat) "We all know who is guilty for the deterioration of Serbia." SUPER CAPTION: Zarjo Jorac, Leader, Social Democratic Union Opposition politician Nenan Canak told the crowd that NATO had not bombed Yugoslavia because Yugoslavians were guilty but because they were led by a fool. Milosevic and four top aides have been indicted by the U-N war crimes tribunal for atrocities committed against the ethnic Albanian majority in Kosovo. And leaders of NATO countries that bombed Yugoslavia have refused to help rebuild the country while Milosevic is in power. SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat) "Long live Vojvodina, Serbia, Montenegro and Yugoslavia, and the leaders can go to the Hague as far as we are concerned. We just want them to go and leave." SUPER CAPTION: Nenan Canak, Leader, Vojvodina Reformist Party Demonstrators also called for more autonomy for Vojvodina, a province in northern Serbia with a large ethnic Hungarian minority. The League of Vojvodina's Social Democrats and Reformist Democratic Party staged the rally on Friday and contended opposition to Milosevic was continuing to grow in Serbia. However Serbia's opposition is weakened by disunity and the Alliance for Change which staged a protest earlier this week in central Serbia, called the rally ineffective.
