SPS PROTESTS OVER DELAY IN START OF SERBIAN ASSEMBLY SESSION, LACK OF INFORMATION
Beta - October 14, 2003

Belgrade, 14 Oct (BETA) -- Zoran Andjelkovic, the general secretary of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), has protested today because of the delay in the start of the Serbian Assembly session and because the deputies have not been informed about the reasons for the delay.

"Today the day in the Serbian Assembly can be compared to waiting for a train that was supposed to arrive at 1000 (0800 GMT) but no one is saying when it is coming and whether it will arrive at all," Andjelkovic told reporters in the assembly building. Andjelkovic added that DOS (Democratic Opposition of Serbia) was in this unenviable position because of stripping deputies of their mandates and because of the decision that deputy seats belong to the parties rather than the deputies.
