Tell us about Novi Sad. Novi Sad was one of the cities where the greatest number of civilian targets was hit, despite the fact that the opposition had won elections there and most of its inhabitants were anti-Milosevic. Novi Sad had three bridges over the Danube. Now, they say, the Danube flows over the bridges, which would be funny if it weren't so sad. Now more than half of the bridge is lying in the river, one of the pillars is completely destroyed, hit when about a dozen people were actually on it.
People cross the river now on rafts.
The large number of people who live on the far side of the river have to cross it so they can get to work and the children to school. But you have to wait up to an hour for a raft across and when it was hot people would pass out from waiting. Up to 200 people get packed onto a raft, like cattle. I was passing by once, in the rain, and I felt so sorry for them. I can't imagine what it will be like in the winter.
