Contents Summary
Brent Sadler reports on the phone from Belgrade about continuing protests organized by the Serbian opposition. Sadler says that a small number of opposition activists have been arrested. The state-run TV, which broadcasted images of people throwing stones at buildings, called the act "the work of a pro-fascist conspiracy," and compared it to "Hitler's rise to power." People outside Belgrade are poorly informed about protests, because of a virtual news blackout. Student protesters handed out flowers to riot police stationed in front of the U.S. Embassy. Footage shows students protesting during heavy snow fall. Reuters footage is included in this report.
