Photo Essay - How Milosevic controlled the media



End of an era


End of an era

As Milosevic's power crumbles in October 2000, protestors beat up the Serbian state television's general director (in a blue shirt) outside the station's office in Belgrade. Protestors then took over the station, which had been under the control of the Milosevic regime to stop broadcasts. Earlier the same day, anti-Milosevic demonstrators had broken through police barricades to storm parliament. The next day, Milosevic conceded power to opposition member Vojislav Kostunica, finally acknowledging Kostunica's victory in the September presidential elections.
