Belgrade - The Serbian opposition leader, Mr Vuk Draskovic, warned yesterday that the closure of an opposition-run television station by the regime of President Slobodan Milosevic could "provoke bloodshed".

"This is a terrible, organised, wild terror and someone wants, at any price, to provoke bloodshed, to make another basis for terror committed on our people," Mr Draskovic, head of the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO), said.

He accused the hardline Serbian Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Vojislav Seselj, whose ultra-nationalist party is allied with Mr Milosevic's Socialists in the Serbian government, of being behind the seizure of Belgrade's TV Studio B.
