NPR's Edward Lifson reports from Belgrade that it appears today as if Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic is giving in to Opposition protesters. For nearly nine weeks, a coalition of demonstrators has been rallying against the Milosevic government. They have been protesting a decision in November that annulled the results of municipal elections. Today, the election commission, thought to be controlled by Milosevic, announced the Opposition had won the Belgrade city assembly and the country's second largest city, Nis (NEESH). This isn't a final decision, however, and the Opposition is still wary. Leaders say the demonstrations will continue.
