Strike leader Rodoljub Vukovic said that they had been double-crossed by the governments of Vojislav Kostunica and Mirko Cvetkovic, which was why they had been forced to organize new protests in central Belgrade. The reservists from Leskovac have been protesting for 11 months, asking to receive the same compensation of approximately EUR 2,500 as their colleagues from the Toplicka district received. Around 10,000 reservists participated in the Kosovo war.
