According to the sources of the oppositional coalition Together
some 40,000 policemen were brought into Belgrade. Today, some
15,000 were on the streets around the center, but the protest
at 3 PM - although we were declined the right to march - was
without any incident. (Instead of walking through the central
Belgrade area, we marched only in two pedestrian streets in
the very center of the town). Students protest tonight is
going now also without incidents, although police blocked the
streets around the narrow central part of the old town. But
after the protest at 3 PM and before the student demos at 7
PM most of the police left from the streets (at least they
have become invisible for the moment); some 2-3,000 remained
though.

Today, the news has come that the group of high army officers
from several towns in South Serbia sent a letter of warning to
Milosevic, saying that they would side with the people (means:
they support the protest) if Milosevic does not recognize the
right of the people.

The Belgrade theaters are closed tonight as well, since the
actors does not want to play in the town besieged by the
police.

The regime media has not publish those parts of the Felipe
Gonzales' report where it says that the opposition won the
major cities in Serbia on the Nov. 17 local elections.

The protests will continue tomorrow.
