Serb Protests NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports from Belgrade on President Milosevic's attempt to silence the criticism against him. The Serb government today shut down an independent radio station and knocked a student radio station off the air. Meanwhile in the streets, Opposition demonstrators were joined in their march by four United States Congressmen...Representatives Nick Rahal of West Virginia, Sanford Bishop of Georgia, Bob Ney of Ohio, and Jim Bunn of Oregon. The government has delayed the opening of Parliament, and Opposition leaders are beginning to fear that Milosevic will soon have only two options left for dealing with the protests: to either back down completely, or begin cracking down on the protestors severely.
