BELGRADE: REBELLING SPECIAL POLICE ANNOUNCE FURTHER PROTESTS

BELGRADE: REBELLING SPECIAL POLICE ANNOUNCE FURTHER PROTESTS BELGRADE, Nov 12 (Hina) - Around 100 rebelling members of Serbia's special police, who blocked the Belgrade-New Belgrade motorway on Monday morning with bullet-proof vehicles, said around 10 a.m. they would resume protesting and demand the resignation of Serbia's Interior Minister Dusan Mihajlovic. The units, known as the Red Berets, did not specify which types of protests would be staged. In the past three days, they have occasionally blocked roads. They told reporters they spoke with Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic for three hours on Sunday evening, but that "apart from an understanding for our demands" he did not support their stance.

BELGRADE, Nov 12 (Hina) - Around 100 rebelling members of Serbia's special police, who blocked the Belgrade-New Belgrade motorway on Monday morning with bullet-proof vehicles, said around 10 a.m. they would resume protesting and demand the resignation of Serbia's Interior Minister Dusan Mihajlovic. The units, known as the Red Berets, did not specify which types of protests would be staged. In the past three days, they have occasionally blocked roads. They told reporters they spoke with Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic for three hours on Sunday evening, but that "apart from an understanding for our demands" he did not support their stance. Serbia's government has not yet confirmed the talks took place. Upon returning from the United States yesterday, Djindjic said he had "no intention of meeting the rebelling special police." For the time being, the Red Berets are blocking a section of the very busy motorway from New Belgrade to Belgrade, near the Sava Centre, with some 20 armed personnel carriers and a dozen vehicles. All the protesters are armed and wearing camouflage uniforms. An unnamed source close to the Serbian government has told the news agency Beta the Berets' arrival in Belgrade last night "cannot be interpreted otherwise than as an attempt to stir political tension and to protect those refusing orders." Some members of the Red Berets are concerned about their fates as they could find themselves on indictments by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in connection with their role in the 1990s wars in Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo. Their disobedience was spurred by their participation in the Nov. 8 arrest of the brothers Nenad and Predradg Banovic, who were transferred to The Hague-based Tribunal in connection with crimes committed in north-western Bosnia in 1992. At a session held on Sunday evening, Serbia's government concluded the arrest was pursuant to a government decision of June 28, which stipulates the arrests, in the absence of a law on cooperation with the ICTY, can be carried out in line with the Tribunal's Statute. Upon returning from the U.S., PM Djindjic said cooperation with the ICTY was "of vital interest" for the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). "No debts would have been written off if FRY hadn't cooperated with the ICTY," he asserted, adding Yugoslavia could count on a 50-70 percent write-off on its debt to the Paris Club. (hina) ha
