BELGRADE - Serbian opposition supporters held a massive rally in Belgrade yesterday to commemorate the anniversary of pro democracy riots six years ago.
"A lot has happened in these six years, but one thing remains the same - Serbia is still at a crossroads - either we opt for progress or continued life with those we've been saddled with for the past 50 years," the opposition leader Mr Zoran Djindjic told about 30,000 supporters.
Mr Djindjic, Mr Vuk Draskovic and Mr Vesna Pesic led an opposition Zajedno coalition campaign for three months of daily protests against election fraud in the biggest challenge yet to the rule of President Slobodan Milosevic. The demonstrations ended in February when President Milosevic restored local election victories in 14 Serbian cities.
