28 May, 2000Trade union activists of the AFITU are being treated like common criminals.

The AFITU, objecting strongly to the intimidation and harassment of the union and its activists, has pressed for their release and called on the workers and public to help them resist such persecution. The union demands the right for all those living in Serbia today "to live as the rest of the civilised world, in a free, democratic country with a developed economy," and rejects the regime's treatment of its activists as criminals.
The president of the AFITU, Dragan Milovanovic, has tried to recover the union's archives and equipment from the police after the break-in of May 19, but to no avail. He is also a leader of the Alliance for Change and has faced charges by the Serbian government. "We are determined to continue our work, even in these very difficult conditions," said Milovanovic.
