| Summary: | Report discusses upcoming elections in Serbia (1993). The focus is on the Serbian opposition, in particular Vuk Draskovic, leader of DEPOS (coalition of Serbian opposition parties), and his election campaign in Southern Serbia. Report shows the broad support Draskovic has throughout Serbia, even though a protest of Milosevic supporters is staged at the Grdelica [village] meeting. Several interviews are conducted with supporters of Draskovic. Dragan Stojanovic, a farmer in the impoverished Dadince village, gives an account of Milosevic’s numerous unfulfilled promises. Stojanovic talks about the Milosevic propaganda system responsible for the spreading of rumors that Draskovic is a thief. He gives an account how teachers are distributing posters to their students in support of Milosevic, which they are to hold up during a rally. The report then talks about the life in Bosiljegrad, a town with a large Bulgarian minority, where unemployment in is very high, and people are generally afraid of Milosevic. Vuk Draskovic is briefly interviewed towards the end of the report. He talks about his expectations for the new year, hoping it will bring about prosperity and a dialogue between Yugoslavia's former republics. Footage of Draskovic support among the people is presented, as well as Draskovic lighting candles in the Grdelica.
