[01] YUGOSLAV OFFICIAL RECEIVES CROATIAN AMBASSADOR TO YUGOSLAVIADeputy Yugoslav Foreign Minister Radoslav Bulajic received in Belgrade Tuesday the Croatian Ambassador to Yugoslavia Zvonimir Markovic, a Yugoslav Government statement said.Markovic presented the credentials with which Croatian President Franjo Tudjman appointed him Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador. Yugoslav Daily Survey, 1997-02-05 ; Tanjug, 1997-02-04[02] OPPOSITION LEADER DJINDJIC FOR POWER-CHANGE WILLY-NILLYOpposition Zajedno (Together) Coalition leaders vowed on Tuesday to continue protests until the municipal election second round results were recognised in full and municipal councils formed in towns where the opposition had won.The Coalition leaders, addressing a rally in Belgrade's downtown Trg Republike Square, vowed to protest on until their demands were met, not with standing any future decisions by the government. Vuk Draskovic of Zajedno's Serbian Renewal Movement refused to comment on Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic's letter to Premier Mirko Marjanovic recommending recognition of some election results. 'This is the best moment to recognise the results of the November 17 elections ... and immediately issue an invitation for the necessary democratic dialogue that should take the form of a round-table discussion,' Draskovic said. He added that the round-table discussion about the elections, the media and party financing should be attended only by the Serbian Parliamentary parties. Zoran Djindjic, who heads the Democratic Party, another Zajedno partner, repeated demands for recognising the election results, normalising the state media and 'establishing responsibility for those who have used the media to fan passions in the people.' 'We do not want to deepen the crisis in the country, we are willing to talk under certain conditions - and our conditions are respect for the law - the laws on elections, on television, on the Interior Ministry,' Djindjic said. The crisis in Serbia would continue until there was a power change, he said, 'because only political and economic reforms and a change of the system can take us back into the international community.' The only question about a power-change, in his view, is 'whether the crisis will be settled peacefully, or by popular revolt.' Yugoslav Daily Survey, 1997-02-05 ; Tanjug, 1997-02-04[03] MARJANOVIC: PARLIAMENT TO RECEIVE DRAFT SPECIAL LAW ON WEDNESDAYSerbian Prime Minister Mirko Marjanovic told Serbian Radio and Television on Tuesday that he had received a letter by Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic regarding the results of part of the municipal elections in Serbia.Marjanovic stressed his wholehearted support for Milosevic's initiative, and added that a draft special law (lex specialis) verifying the results of part of November 17 municipal elections in accordance with the findings of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, would most likely be submitted to Serbian Parliament on Wednesday. Yugoslav Daily Survey, 1997-02-05 ; Tanjug, 1997-02-04[04] YUGOSLAV PRESIDENT SUPPORTS LETTER OF SERBIAN PRESIDENTYugoslav President Zoran Lilic on Tuesday evening extended support to a letter by Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic to Prime Minister Mirko Marjanovic on accepting the report by Felipe Gonzales and the OSCE fact finding mission.Lilic told reporters that he rejoiced and sincerely supported the decision he himself called for and believes will be accepted by all the institutions in the country, above all by the people of Yugoslavia, as it is in their interest, he said. Lilic said this was a sensible and compromise solution, that its realization would create conditions for the implementation of strategic aims, such as maintaining peace, economic recovery and strengthening Yugoslavia's international position. I believe these are aims equal to national interest, said Lilic, and added his 'profound belief that the decision creates conditions for the return of peace to the streets of Belgrade and Serbia, return to work, as the only way to live, creative work that can be verified in the interest of our people.' Lilic said he was convinced the decision would be implemented in the shortest time possible and that the remaining differences would be settled in State institutions, where they belong, so that solutions are achieved through dialogue, which alone is possible and in the interest of Serbia and Yugoslavia. 'I believe we will have the strength, will and ability to find that way. I wish everyone much success and will to persevere and I wish Serbia and Yugoslavia to occupy the place in the international community that objectively belongs to them,' said Lilic.
