Now the opposition and the people are waiting to see if the law will be promptly implemented, in the meantime :

Huge crowds are on the streets of Belgrade, celebrating what appears to be the overthrow of President Milosevic after a day of mass protests.The new political situation appeared to be confirmed shortly before midnight local time (2200 GMT) when Vojislav Kostunica appeared on state television described as the new president.

The National Campaign to Implement the Right of Return organized nonviolent marches throughout the West Bank on Wednesday in memorial of Al Nakba. All began in the morning and headed for the demarcation lines.Beit Sourik, Qalandiya Refugee Camp, Al Eizariya, Shufat Refugee Camp were all points for this morning’s Jerusalem marches which flew Palestinian and United Nations flags.In the northern West Bank’s governorate of Jenin, the march began in the camp of the same name and headed toward Jalama. Nablus’ three camps converged on Huwara Checkpoint.In the Tulkarem governorate residents walked to the road leading to Netanya. A second march is planned for 5:00 pm. Qalqilia also marched. Bethlehem went to the Wall at Rachel’s Tomb in the northern part of the city.Jericho marched, as did Ramallah and Al Bireh, and Hebron in the south. As most of these cities are surrounded by checkpoints or the Wall, they did not have far to go. But a massive demonstration taking place throughout the entire West Bank at the same time sends a message. “It is our right and we will not give it up, nor will we be deterred,” the organizers wrote.http://english.pnn.ps/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2775&Itemid=1
