by N.B. and G.M.S.

Danas, Belgrade, FR Yugoslavia, September 29, 2000

Leaders of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS)
called today the citizens of Serbia to start a general
strike for the defense of the election results.

"We shall defend the will of the people. Tody at 2pm
there will be a rally at Republic Square where we
shall announce concrete means of struggle against
Slobodan Milosevic in defense of Vojislav's
Kostunica's victory," announced Cedomir Jovanovic, the
head of the DOS Central Election Headquarters after
last night's meeting of the DOS leaders.

Zoran Djindjic, the leader of the Democratic Party
(DS) and the manager of the DOS election campaign
announced that the means of resistance will include
civic disobedience and a general strike "that will
halt everything in Serbia".

After the meeting, party leaders headed towards
Terazije Square where about 2,000 citizens had
gathered spontaneously to protest against this
afternoon's statement of the Federal Election
Commission (FEC) regarding the final results of the
federal elections for the president and the federal
parliament. Tonight the Police blocked traffic
between Kolarceva St. and Republic Square. Several
police cars were parked in Terazije Sq. but the
gathering passed without incidents.

The meeting of the DOS leaders was called after the
deadline given to the FEC to respond to the request to
compare its election results with those obtained by
the DOS had expired.
