BOMB THREAT
The offices of Glas Javnosti have, over the past few days, received a 
number of phone calls threatening the journalists.
The anonymous calls generally start with a string of foul words, followed 
by calling the paper "traitorous". In conclusion comes a "firm promise that 
bombs will be thrown on the offices and houses of Glas journalists, as a 
well deserved punishment for treason".
MILANOVIC KNEW EXACT TIMING OF RTS BOMBING
The League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina, Nenad Canak two nights ago met 
Jiri Dienstbier, special UN rapporteur for human rights in the embassy of 
the Slovak Republic. Dienstbier said that Vojvodina would be given special 
UN attention as a true "jewel" and a multinational region on the turbulent 
southeast of Europe.
Dienstbier, according to Canak, reminded that a NATO delegation had been in 
Belgrade a month before the bombing and told the military leadership of 
Yugoslavia what would happen in the event of air strikes, giving it a list 
of specific targets.
"NATO headquarters gave a list of all targets 24 hours before the bombing. 
This was so in the case of the General Staff building, Ministry of the 
Interior, the Government and even Radio Television Serbia (RTS). Director 
general of the RTS Dragoljub Milanovic and chief editor Jovan Ristic were 
informed about the time of the bombing 12 hours ahead, and the failure to 
remove the staff off the premises amounts to plain murder. The regime 
sacrificed the RTS staff to score a few political points," said Canak, 
claiming that he heard all that from Jiri Dienstbier in the presence of a 
few witnesses during their talks in the embassy of the Slovak republic in 
Belgrade.
