PROTESTS SUSPENDED
Zajedno leaders Vuk Draskovic and Zoran
Djindjic told Radio B92 on Sunday that protest rallies
against the November election fraud had finished on
Saturday, but that demonstrations would resume on March 9
if the Serbian government failed to liberate the media by
that date.
Mr Draskovic said that the suspension of protests was
intended to show that Zajedno was prepared enter a
dialogue with the government, although he did not believe
that it would have a positive outcome.
``Milosevic has committed himself to developing the
media, to passing a new electoral law, to providing fully
democratic conditions for the forthcoming elections. We
are prepared to negotiate, although we already know that
nothing will come of it. After that we shall have the
right, according to the Gonzalez report, to struggle in
the streets for the implementation of the basic part of
that report,'' said Mr Draskovic.
Mr Djindjic noted that other forms of protest were still
continuing, the student protest, the evening noise
protest at the media blockade and the strikes.
