Several thousand people met in a central Belgrade square, some
waving banners declaring "Serbia is with you". Others carried
pictures of ex-Yugoslav President Slobodan Miloseiv and his wife
Mirjana Markovic (a representative of left wingers).
The indictment accuses Seselj of war crimes in Croatia and Bosnia-
Herzegovina in 1991-1993. According to announcements, Seselj
should board a regular 6.40 flight to Amsterdam on Monday.
A representative of the International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia in Belgrade, Matis Hellman, on Sunday did not
wish to comment on the fact that Seselj does not have the Dutch
visa.
