NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said things reportedly turned sour in the town of Alexandrovac when about 1,000 people gathered to bid farewell to reservists who had been on leave. He said scuffles started when the townspeople demanded the mayor prevent the reservists' departure and he responded by spouting the party line. The incidents show war weariness is increasing among the Yugoslav population, Shea noted. Ordinary Yugoslav men are more interested in fatherhood than the fatherland. Wages are no longer being paid.
Fear is mounting.
People are beginning to turn against the regime and call it to account.
