Protesters pull the plug on Milosevic's cosy vision of Serbia

Article Abstract:

A number of radio stations and newspapers in Belgrade, Serbia, are now providing alternative sources of information for people who have until recently been exposed only to the carefully censored view of life in Serbia presented by Serbian Radio and Television. Those involved with these new ventures are becoming convinced that permanent changes in people's thinking will take place, even if the current street demonstrations against the government become violent. President Milosevic is likely to attempt to control radio and television output for as long as possible.

Come quietly, please, Mr Milosevic

Article Abstract:

Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic has been the target of mass protests in Belgrade over recent weeks, and his regime is now under great pressure. The demonstrations, which are calling for opposition victories in the Nov 1996 elections to be recognised, are creating splits in the structure of the regime, and it seems increasingly likely that Milosevic's political career will come to an abrupt end. Indeed, some Serbian military have already expressed willingness to use firepower against him if he attempts to use force to put an end to the protests.

The arch-manipulator of Serbia triumphs over people power

Article Abstract:

A split among opposition parties has been of considerable advantage to Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. He has been able to regain power, in sharp contrast with the situation in early 1997, when he was the subject of very large popular demonstrations across Serbia. His shift from being Serbian President to Yugoslav President, having served the maximum two terms, has made the Serbian presidency seem meaningless, with political power in Serbia moving with him.
