In pictures: Yugoslav strike

A general strike called by the Yugoslav opposition disrupted traffic in many towns on Monday, though Belgrade returned to normal by mid-day.

The strikers are demanding the resignation of President Slobodan Milosevic after what they say was a decisive victory for opposition candidate Vojislav Kostunica in presidential elections on 24 September.
