(Grand Rapids, Michigan-AP) -- Al Gore is stopping short of calling for U-S intervention in Yugoslavia.
The Democratic presidential nominee says this is a moment for the Yugoslav people to rise up and seize power.
And Gore praises them, saying they're joining in the democratic revolution that swept Eastern Europe and led to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Still, Gore agrees with his Republican rival, George W. Bush, that Yugoslav President President Slobodan Milosevic must go.
Gore told reporters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that Milosevic is trying to steal last month's election.
He adds the U-S and its allies must speak with one voice in calling for Milosevic to leave.
Earlier, as Bush was campaigning in Royal Oak, Michigan, he noted the protesters "took matters in their own hands" in Belgrade, when they seized control of parliament and the state broadcasting center.
Bush says the world will be a better place when the Yugoslav leader hears the word of his people and leaves office.
