    NEWS BY 5 PM

    25,000 STUDENTS MARCH

    A procession of about 25,000 students and teachers from Belgrade
    University marched through downtown Belgrade on Monday. The
    students were protesting for the eighty first time against the
    annulment of local election results. The marchers surrounded the
    University's administration building while teachers entered to
    sign a petition calling for the resignation of the University
    Chancellor. About 2,000 teachers have signed the petition.


    LEX SPECIALIS ADOPTED

    The Legislative Board of the Serbian Parliament on Monday adopted
    the bill for the special law on November's local elections.
    Opposition members proposed a number of amendments to the law, but
    only one was carried. The amendment changes the definition of the
    results from ``temporary'' to ``results according to the number of
    votes at polling sites.''  Two disputed constituencies, Mladenovac
    and New Belgrade, are not covered by the new law.

    Justice Minister Arandjel Markicevic provoked fierce reactions
    from opposition members by saying that the decisions of this law
    are still liable to possible subsequent intervention by the
    constitutional court.


    NEW B92 PROGRAM

    Stojan Cerovic, columnist with Belgrade weekly ``Vreme'' and
    winner of the ``Jug Grizelj'' award, will be the guest of Radio
    B02 between 2.00 and 5.00 pm on Tuesday.

    Radio B02 is planning a new program featuring news and messages
    received by e-mail. So all listeners and readers are invited to
    contact us with any information they consider interesting and
    related to events in Serbia.
