The power struggle in Yugoslavia intensified today, just four days after the inauguration of the new president, Vojislav Kostunica. NPR's Anne Garrels tells host Linda Wertheimer that allies of ousted president Slobodan Milosevic said they would not relinquish control over the Serbian republic government, as Kostunica is demanding. The new president is seeking early elections for a new republic government. If Milosevic's Socialists and their allies do not agree to elections in three days, the Kostunica camp says it will call for street protests.
