Monday sent to the Serbian parliament a bill of amendments to the law on the
rights of fighters, disabled veterans and their families under which members of
the Chetnik movement, as fighters against occupying troops, would have the
same rights as the partisans and fighters of the former Yugoslav army.The party's president and Serbia and Montenegro Foreign Minister, Vuk
Draskovic, told the press the bill should put an end to divisions which
appeared in Serbia after World War Two.
Since its establishment in the early 1990s, Draskovic's party has been
advocating the rehabilitation of Chetnik leader Draza Mihailovic, who was
sentenced to death and killed in 1945 as a war criminal.
