YUGOSLAVIA
War Between The Serbs
</hdr><body>
<p> In downtown Belgrade, far from the western battles between
Serbs and Croatians, two masked assassins leaned out of a car
and fired more than 40 bullets. Branislav Matic, second-in-
command of the Serbian Guard, a newly formed anticommunist
militia, fell dead.
</p>
<p> Matic's comrades-in-arms accused the Serbian government of
organizing the murder. At the funeral last week, Vuk Draskovic,
leader of the Serbian Renewal Movement, the main opposition
party, blamed the republic's ruling Socialist--formerly
Communist--Party, headed by President Slobodan Milosevic. The
Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a denial and added that
uttering such accusations was illegal.
</p>
<p> The struggle between communist and anticommunist forces in
Serbia has been intensifying for several months. In March,
Draskovic's party led mass demonstrations against the
Socialists, and two people were killed in clashes with police.
In July, the Serbian parliament banned militias formed outside
the republican or national armed forces.
