Dear all,

Here is an information resource of websites which will be able to provide
information about the situation in Yugoslavia.

Please remember that the mainstream media are NOT reporting this crisis
adequately, and in times such as these many online information resources
have more reliable information.  http://helpB92.xs4all.nl is still one of
the central websites for the coordination of this information.

Below these information resources, I have included postings from a couple
of the the people still in Yugoslavia on their impressions of the conflict
so far.

Best wishes

Honor Harger

WORDS FROM PEOPLE IN YUGOSLAVIA

>"Slobodan Markovic" <twiddle@xxxxxxxx>

>    Radio B-92 reported from Pristina that two days ago, during air-raid,
>    a building where Koha Ditore was printed was hit and destroyed.
>
>    Just to comment more on Geerts info on Koha:
>
>    Even thou I cannot confirm guard of Koha's offices was shot, there
>    is *high* possibility it really happened, if he refused to let
>    police enter the building.
>
>    Yugoslav government declared "state of war" in whole country on the
>    first day of NATO attack, and while it lasts, police and army have
>    much larger authorizations than before.
>
>    That is also why many independent radio and TV stations in Serbia
>    were so easily banned last week (Radio B92 in Belgrade, Radio 021 in
>    Novi Sad, Soko TV in Soko Banja). I suspect also that almost all
>    Albanian newspapers were banned on Kosovo after start of NATO strikes.
>
>    There is no way anyone can protest against these bannings because
>    during "state of war" all public gatherings are strictly forbidden.
>    I cannot imagine consequences of possible pro-B92 protests in
>    Belgrade. Police brutality could be unimaginable... not to mention
>    possible fast and SEVERE court verdicts in these cases.
>
>    Greetings,
>

>To: ZAMIR-CHAT-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
>
>TO ALL
>
>Send me news on protests there. There is no mobilization in Belgrade yet
>(that we've heard of), but we might need all the letters of guaranty we can
>get if the mobilization starts and I know for sure that it has partially
>started in some provinces (only people who have served in the military
>before). See what you can do.
>
>The bombardment isn't hitting civilians so hard physically, but the
>psychological effect is terrible. Paramilitary and police forces are
>massacring the Albanians in Kosovo en masse. Even some police officials
>confessed it (unofficially of course) to some people here.
>
>I'm currently not at home. I'm using a friend's computer. I've spent the
>last day or more at a friend's apartment. If you get any info on what has
>been hit\targeted here, forward immediately.
>
>Some activists are trying to organize a mailing campaign. Please, help whith
>what you can. I haven't slept much cause there's been some heavy hitting
>nearby last night and the building shook a lot. The hit's have made some
>chemical leaks, but gov. radio assures everybody that it's low toxic, and
>that strong winds last night have dispersed it. We heard later that it was a
>rocket fuel tank in the suburban village of  Sremcica. At least one suburb
>was evacuated last night because of it (Sremcica for sure, Zarkovo
>probably). They've hit something else too, but we don't know what. It's in
>Batajnica (also suburb of Belgrade) and it might have also been evacuated,
>but I don;t know.
>
>Almost everybody here is on a nervous edge and a lot of people are
>panicking. Also they've hit targets in Banjica, Topcider, Banovo brdo,
>Zarkovo...(all Belgrade suburbs) can't remember where else.The minister of
>education has declared that our spring holiday is on as of Friday or
>Thursday and there's been no classes. There will surely be none until April
>2nd. All exams that were reported for taking by students are counted as
>passed (Don't know if they'll grade them).
>
>There've been random reports of military police picking people off the
>streets. None confirmed, none from eyewitnesses. They have been "visiting"
>the apartments of people who were supposed to report for mobilization, but
>didn't (all people who've served in the military) I didn't see 'em, and I
>live in the downtown, so I think that they haven't been doing it much in
>Belgrade. I don't think I'll be spending much time at home. The MP's won't
>catch me if I can help it, but please try and arrange for something if I
>have to get out.
>
>The XXL Creative Youth Group and Postpessimists Belgrade have evacuated
>their (our) offices and distributed archives and equipment between each
>other for preservation. I was supposed to go to a Civic Initiatives seminar
>called "Politics and education" this weekend, but it was canceled due to the
>situation. Radio Panchevo is the only "independent" local thing we can hear
>(Radio Free Europe also), but it's being censored around the clock and their
>program was interrupted a couple of times, just when the speaker was
>supposed to say some important info, like what has been hit in the last
>strike. All journals have emposed heavy self-censorship and you don't wan'na
>know what the gov-controlled media look like. The theaters have announced
>that they would play for free until the end of bombardment. Beogradfilm
>(state controlled) company has withdrawn all foreign films from movie
>theaters in Belgrade, although they haven't been officially banned, and
>they've also withdrawn the movie "knife" by the novel of Vuk Draskovic
>(Federal Deputy Prime Minister) under the excuse that it's "too heavy for
>the present situation". You can still get these movies in video clubs on VHS.
>
>People have been bying enormous amounts of food supplies these days, but the
>stores are fully supplied whith everything today and the consumer feaver is
>passing.The greatest rush was for Flower, some for bread, none for cooking
>oil. My dad works at a gas station and they've been forbidden to sell gas to
>anyone, even themselves (during sanctions there was no gasoline for common
>people, but the directors could get it always, and Beopetrol company
>employees most of the time. People have no money to spend any more. If the
>bombardments halt now and the gov. doesn't pay the paychecks/pensions, there
>could even be food riots. That's it for now. Mail me!!!!
>
>Peace , Mihajlo Acimovic
