http://www.beta.co.yu/indexeng.asp BETA DAILY NEWS (BELGRADE) April 18, 2002 Internet AROUND 10,000 SERBS PROTEST IN KOSOVSKA MITROVICA. Almost 10,000 Serbs gathered in northern Kosovska Mitrovica on April 17 continuing their protest over the arrest of Slavoljub Jovic, one of "bridge guards", an armed Serb vigilante-style group who patrol the Ibar river which separates the town into Serbian and Albanian halves. Like the previous eight protests, this one was also held under the slogan "Stop Persecution and Arrests of Serbs", the protesters demanding the release of Slavoljub Jovic, Stevan Zigic and other Serbs held in Kosovo prisons. In the end, the protesters walked to the UN police station in northern Mitrovica and threw eggs at the building. The huge turnout stemmed from the fact that Coordinating Center for Kosovo Chief Nebojsa Covic was to visit the crisis-struck town. Covic, however, failed to attend the Serb protest, as he was in Pristina at the time, discussing the crisis in Mitrovica with UNMIK Chief Michael Steiner. --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.a9617B Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
