Belgrade, Feb. 23.
Serious repercussions among the Yugoslav public following the publication of references to the erection of pontoon bridges across the Danube Rustchuk were expected by politicd circles here.
The Yugoslav public was already fiercely anti-Nazi, and it was believed the authorities would have to issue some explanatory statement with a view to pacifying public opinion.
Political observers think that publication of the report should be connected with reaction to the Turco-Bulgarian declaration. The general public both here end in Bulgaria believe the declaration to be due to Russian influence and aimed at prevention of a German invasion of the Balkens.—Reuter.
