Mr. Djokic, a construction worker, drives a large bulldozer, and he was asked to bring it along to a mass demonstration in central Belgrade. Arriving in front of the federal Parliament shortly before 3 p.m. that Thursday, Oct. 5, he was confronted by riot police officers. ''I thought it was going to be peaceful,'' he said.
