Alternative Media in Serbia

In Yugoslavia, the nationwide protests against the Milosevic government continue. Those protests began a month ago in Serbia's second largest city, Nis (NEESH), when Opposition party victories in local elections were disallowed. Now a local court has re-instated the Opposition victory there. NPR's Sylvia Poggioli was in Nis recently and reports that information about the election, the vote fraud by the ruling Socialist party and the court's re-instatement have been carried by a private radio station and private television... a job neither had ever expected to perform.
