BELGRADE, Saturday, Mar 31, 2001 (GMT+2) – 2:39 – (Radio B92) – “I’m just drinking coffee with my friends here and I’m just fine, watching all of this like all the citizens of Serbia,” Slobodan Milosevic has just told Radio B92 in his first ever interview with us.
“There are a great number of citizens gathered in front of the house, not just Socialist Party supporters but many who have our nation and our national worth in their hearts, and I can tell you that we’re all proud to see them in such a mood,” said Milosevic
The ousted president was talking to us at 1.20 a.m. after we had published the reports sweeping Belgrade this evening that he had been arrested.
Those reports had earlier been confirmed by a number of senior government figures, although Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic had denied any knowledge of an arrest.
Asked whether he was afraid, Milosevic replied “Of course, I’m not. I expect that this business will end in a righteous way, in the way of our people”.
