100,000 Protest Annulled Elections

Compiled From Wire Services

More than 100,000 demonstrators angered over annulled municipal elections jammed Belgrade streets Monday in the biggest protest against President Slobodan Milosevic and his Socialist Party in five years.

While a flag-waving crowd shouted “Red bandits” and “Death to communism,” university students launched sit-ins at four campuses in the capital and pelted three symbols of Milosevic’s regime - state-run television, the president’s office and city hall - with eggs and insults. The protesters also directed criticism at Western powers, claiming Washington and other capitals support Milosevic and ignore calls for democracy here because the Serbian leader is a guarantor of the Dayton peace process in Bosnia.
