NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports from Belgrade that Serbian prosecutors today asked police to begin investigating former president Slobodan Milosevic. Prosecutors want to know more about reports that he transferred gold out of the country. It's Serbia's first legal move against Milosevic and is expected to lead to his arrest. Two days ago, the Serbian parliament passed an amnesty law -- its first major piece of legislation aimed at restoring social peace after a decade of war and upheaval.
