...Belgrade every day, blocking traffic and threatening to bring down Milosevic's Socialist government. Despite court rulings confirming opposition wins in the November 14 elections, Milosevic has so far relinquished very little of his power. Although he said he would allow a transfer of power in the city of Kragujevac, one of 14 cities won by opposition candidates, hundreds of police have blocked the transition by barricading themselves inside the city's TV station.

...shooting at Kragujevac . . . that has sown panic throughout our youth. ... To reach the prescribed number of hostages - 2,300, which was afterwards doubled - they made the children with their books in their hands leave four classrooms of a secondary school, cover their faces before the bullets. They were all machine-gunned. After that massacre, the number of children wandering along the main roads and through the forests like wild beasts increased...
