| SERBIA'S pro-Western President Boris Tadic survived an apparent assassination attempt when a car repeatedly tried to crash into his motorcade, his press office said today. The incident occurred late yesterday in downtown Belgrade when a black Audi "tried several times to crash" into Tadic's car but was cut off by another vehicle from Tadic's security, the office said. Tadic was unhurt in the incident, and the car fled the scene, it added. No other details or possible motives were given. Pro-Western Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic was assassinated in March 2003 in front of his downtown Belgrade office in a sniper attack. Several paramilitary and gang figures associated with former President Slobodan Milosevic are standing trial in the case. They are accused of killing Djindjic in order to bring Milosevic's allies back to power in Serbia. |
