More than 20,000 Serbs and Montenegrins shouted “We want arms!” as they defied Yugoslavia’s Communist leaders and staged a rally to protest harassment by ethnic Albanians in Kosovo province. The demonstration in Titograd, capital of the Montenegro republic, was the first such gathering outside the republic of Serbia, in which the autonomous provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina are located. Communist Party leaders have condemned previous Serbian rallies as “politically damaging” forms of “undemocratic pressure.”
