March 25, 2002|From Times Wire Reports

Supporters of former President Slobodan Milosevic marked the third anniversary of NATO's air war on Yugoslavia with a gush of anti-Western feeling, while ethnic Albanians in the province of Kosovo celebrated it as a turning point in their independence struggle.

Carrying Serbian flags and chanting "NATO are murderers," about 7,000 Milosevic supporters rallied in the Yugoslav capital, Belgrade, to condemn the 1999 bombing campaign and to protest the former leader's war crimes trial.

In Kosovo, recently elected provincial President Ibrahim Rugova said the first day of the bombing had been a "big and historic day."
