General view of the main square overcrowded by opposition supporters during a protest over election fraud in southern Serbian town of Nis October 4, 2000. The opposition is trying to persuade Milosevic to accept what they say was the outright victory of presidential challenger Vojislav Kostunica in a September 24, 2000 poll. The officials have called for a runoff between the two on Sunday. After days of protests, blocked roads, closed schools and shops across the country, the campaign was set to spread to the state postal and telecommunications service. PEK/WS
