Rough ride for Serbian ruler

Article Abstract:

Professor Miladin Zivotic, head of the Belgrade University philosophy department until Oct. 1996, has long opposed the Serbian regime's aggressive policies. However Zivotic, unlike most of his colleagues, does not take part in the protests by students who are demanding the resignation of Serbian Pres. Slobodan Milosevic and of the university's current rector, Dragutin Velickovic. He nevertheless considers the students' demands to be realistic and defends them against claims that their protests are essentially nationalistic.
