| | CNN - Elections in Serbia, Montenegro likely to weaken Milosevic - Oct 4, 1997 |
 | | BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (CNN) -- Voting began Sunday in presidential elections in the Yugoslav republics of Serbia and Montenegro whose outcome was expected to further weaken the standing of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. |
| | In Serbia -- one of the two republics which make up present-day Yugoslavia -- Socialist Zoran Lilic was expected to defeat Vojislav Seselj, the leader of the ultra-nationalist Radical Party. |
| | Seselj is rabidly anti-Western and favors a hard-line Serb nationalist stance with the ideal of creating a "greater Serbia." "Serbia won't kneel in front of anyone," he said ahead of the runoff poll. |
