THE BATTALION
Yugoslavian president, Milosevic, lashes
out as 150,000 attend rally for challenger
Yugoslavia elections
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP)
— More than 150,000 people
jammed the streets outside parlia
ment Wednesday, jeering at Pres
ident Slobodan Milosevic and
chanting, “He’s finished,” in an
election rally for his top opponent
that dwarfed a pro-Milosevic
gathering nearby.
Opposition candidate Vojislav
Kostunica promised a “different
Serbia” in an address to the crowd
outside Belgrade’s Federal Parlia
ment building in a boisterous dis
play of anti-Milosevic sentiment
before presidential and parliamen
tary elections Sunday.
Many shouted, “He’s fin
ished,” waving signs with the
same slogan or pictures of Milo
sevic headed out the door. Others
chanted, “Save Serbia from this
madhouse, Kostunica,” or jeered
loudly at any mention of the pres
ident’s name.
“There is a great chance and
hope that after (Sunday’s) elec
tions, we will begin a new life in
different Serbia,” Kostunica told
the joyful crowd, concluding his
speech with: “May God help you
to have enough courage ... to win
freedom! For Serbia!”
Milosevic labeled his oppo
nents “rats and hyenas” while on
a campaign stop earlier Wednes- •
day in Montenegro, the smaller of
Yugoslavia’s two republics, where
pro-Western leaders have urged
residents to boycott what it con
siders an unfair vote.
In Belgrade, the president later
addressed about 10,000 support
ers in a sports hall across, the Sava
River while Kostunica prepared to
speak. Although the size of the
hall limjted the crowd, the turnout
for the candidates’ rallies backed
the message of recent polls.
Opinion surveys show Kostu
nica with a double-digit lead on
Milosevic. There are fears, how
ever, that Milosevic would not
concede a loss and could try to
stay in power by rigging the vote
or imposing martial law.
At the sports hall, in a gather
ing complete with standing ova
tions and the orchestrated rhyth
mic clapping, Milosevic said the
opposition is “incited (by the
West) to spread terrorism and
crime ... and destroy families
through religious sects, spy
groups and drug lords.”
He vowed to fight jthe “evil”
opposition “which wants to de
stroy the minds of our children
and youth ... just like we fought
the aggressors,” during last year’s
NATO bombing that forced Milo
sevic to cede control of Kosovo to
the United Nations.
In his last day of campaigning before Sunday’s election, Yugoslavia’s
President Slobodan Milosevic referred to his opponents as “rats and
hyenas." His toughest rival, Vojislav Kostunica, tells his supporters that
a vote for him would end a decade of authoritarian misrule that led the
former Yugoslavia into civil war.
