SERBIAN OPPOSITION READY TO RELAUNCH STREET PROTESTS? Talks between supporters of Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica and backers of his predecessor, Slobodan Milosevic, are slated to begin again in Belgrade on 23 October. Heading the agenda is the formation of a power-sharing transitional government for Serbia until the 23 December elections (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 20 October 2000).
