[RRE]Veran Matic arrested
``` [Drazen Pantic, a mathematics professor at the University of Belgrade and the Director of Opennet, the internet service of the independent B-92 radio station in Belgrade, reports that the station's editor-in- chief, Veran Matic, has been arrested. Other proponents of freedom of expression in Yugoslavia are presumably in danger as well. Much background can be had by typing either Pantic's or Matic's name into www.google.com. Meanwhile we are trying to get more information.]

Tonight at 2:50a.m. two technicians from the Federal Ministry for Telecommunications accompanied by 10 policemen entered the premises of B-92 and ordered the immediate closing of the radio. Police ordered all journalists to step back from their computers and mobile phones.
When Veran Matic, editor in chief, entered the radio, police took him into custody without any explanation. He has not returned since.
