Election Aside, Milosevic Plans to Run Yugoslavia
Date: 04 November 1996
By Chris Hedges
Chris Hedges
Slobodan Milosevic is using election for federal Parliament in Serbia and Montenegro in drive to retain control over Yugoslavia; his final term as Serbian President ends in 1997 and his supporters, if they win control of Parliament, are expected to change constitution to let him transfer his power to federal post; election has been bizarre mixture of extravagant charges and character assassinations carried out mostly by Milosoveic's wife, Mirjana, who heads party allied with his Socialists, and by Danica Draskovic, wife of opposition leader Vuk Draskovic; state-run media, while ignoring opposition, has recast Milosevic, virulent nationalist, as tolerant peacemaker and international statesman; photo (M)
