BELGRADE -- Around 5,000 supporters of Slobodan Milosevic took to the streets of Belgrade on Monday to protest the arrival of Carla Del Ponte, the chief prosecutor of the UN war crimes tribunal where the former president is being held. The protest march was organised by the Socialist party, which is still headed by Milosevic despite his incarceration. "We can no longer tolerate the kidnapping of Yugoslav citizens," shouted one protestor, Dejan Backovic, a leader of the Socialist party's youth movement. Defan Stefanovic, also from the Socialist party's youth wing, described Del Ponte as "a monster" who had given "every patriot in Yugoslavia a feeling of pride and dignity." "It is our aim to show her that she's unwelcome here....that she has nothing to seek here," senior party official Zivorad Igic told reporters during the largely peaceful rally. ------------------------------------------- Macdonald Stainsby Rad-Green List: Radical anti-capitalist environmental discussion. http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/rad-green ---- Leninist-International: Building bridges in the tradition of V.I.
