Abstract
Properties of multiparticle final states produced in the central rapidity region of small-x deep inelastic scattering (DIS) are discussed. It is pointed out that these properties contain important information on the nature of the Pomeron - used for the description of total cross section and diffractive production in DIS. It is shown that models based on universality of the Pomeron predict charged particle multiplicities in small-x DIS which are in good agreement with recent HERA results.
