Belgrade - Serbian police, government leaders and opposition groups attempted yesterday to blame each other for the killing of Bosko Perosevic, a close ally of President Slobodan Milosevic of Yugoslavia, in a farm-fair shooting the day before.
The suspected murderer, Milivoje Gutovic, "was without doubt an activist in the Otpor (Resistance) organisation and, as he has himself admitted, of the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO)," police in Novi Sad declared.
The leader of Serbia's main opposition force, Mr Vuk Draskovic, instead implicated the country's rulers in the killing.
