Yugoslavia’s foreign minister conceded Friday that the opposition had won election in a majority of Belgrade’s municipal districts but said that did not necessarily translate into control of the capital. Opponents of President Slobodan Milosevic said that the concession was insufficient and that their daily street protests would continue until he recognized their win in the main city council as well. Milan Milutinovic, who is foreign minister and a close associate of the Serbian president, said in a letter to Danish Foreign Minister Niels Helveg Petersen that the opposition coalition Zajedno, or Together, had won 9 of 16 Belgrade district councils in the Nov. 17 vote.
