International plum fair in Osečina 03.September 2014 Dragan Todorovic Wet and dry As Mr. Sertić arrives, first he greets one of the four popes present, then the second, and the third pope, entrepreneur Cane comes out of the cut black plastic tub and gives a round of applause for the future Minister of Economy
Enjoy, the day after 03.September 2014 Ivana Milanović Hrašovec Sweet without water Everything seems to function normally in the city. Water is not the number one topic, and yet... "Write that Užice now has proper water, only nobody drinks it", is one of the messages
Interview - Ivan Simič, former director of the Tax Administration and president of the Association of Tax Advisors 03.September 2014 Radmilo Marković I never understood Minister Krstić "The Ministry of Finance never asked the Tax Administration what it thought the collection could be in the next year. That's why I absolutely did not want to accept criticism that the tax collection was not in accordance with the plan, since the plan was unrealistic."
Political life 03.September 2014 Zora Drcelic Government-directed tabloid reality shows The audience, although already experienced in consuming fake reality from the bottom of the tub, is still not sure what is staged and what is reality. Hardly anyone has time to read that the number of GSP vehicles on the streets of Belgrade has been reduced by ten percent, or to hear anything about the announced strikes of educators, party employment, the final agreement on the reduction of pensions
Turmoil and conflict in the Arab world 03.September 2014 Momir Turudić A little murder between friends Iraq, Syria and Libya are collapsing into anarchy and war. The lances of the rich Arab monarchies are breaking around them. On one side is the most prominent representative of Qatar, which is supported by Erdogan's Turkey, together firmly side with the persecuted Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. On the other side are Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. At the same time, different views on religion are not disputed, just like the way of ruling. It is a struggle for power and influence that goes far beyond the Middle East region
Portrait of a contemporary - Boris Tadić 03.September 2014 Tamara Skrozza Old actor in "new movie" The former president of Serbia never reconciled himself to the status of a loser, never silenced his own vanity and never admitted the mistakes that cost him a serious career as a statesman. Despite this, or perhaps precisely because of this, Boris Tadić never actually left. Although he has practically no power for two years, he is always somehow there, present - with a reason or, more often, without one
Personal view - Conference on the Western Balkans in Berlin 02.September 2014 Goran Svilanović They will accept us in the EU when we are like them For the first time in the last twenty years, at the Conference on the Western Balkans in Berlin, it happened that all countries realized how economically small they really are when viewed separately and how much more they are worth and can achieve if they appear together as a region. This was best understood by the two youngest governments, Serbian and Albanian. The two prime ministers came up with concrete proposals that include regional cooperation and regional projects
Telecommunications 02.September 2014 Zoran Stanojević Is there free roaming? At the meeting of regulators in Skopje (August 21), the countries of Southeast Europe, namely Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Albania and Turkey, agreed to act similarly to the EU, that is, to limit roaming prices in the region.

exclusive 15.march 2001 Igor Mekina and Svetlana Vasović-Mekina Confession of Mira Marković "I believe that the members of the SPS and JUL, those who are not mentioned in the newspapers and on television as thieves, rich or that they are suspicious and responsible for some other reason - I believe that they are the ones who made an agreement with the new authorities to that government protects their material and other interests, their rather large wealth, and that in return they contribute to the bribery of their yesterday's comrades and personal friends"
Interview - Sanda Rašković-Ivić, Commissioner for Refugees of the Republic of Serbia 15.march 2001 Jelena Grujić We don't want ghettoization "Refugees have been manipulated like no other population in recent times. Perhaps only the mentally ill were manipulated that way in the Soviet Union during Stalin's reign of terror."
The case of the three beaten 15.march 2001 Uroš Komlenović Nothing new in Pozarevac The new authorities shout at the top of their voices that those responsible for the collapse of the state will be tried. Wouldn't it be more logical to rehabilitate the victims first?
Macedonia 15.march 2001 Nenad Lj. Stefanović The collapse of ethnic romanticism In some reflections on the latest events not only in Macedonia but also in the south of Serbia, one hears how the Albanian side is allegedly trying to catch the "last train" for a more comprehensive solution to its own issue and to reach, possibly, a new Dayton by radicalizing the situation on the ground.
Comment A student movement between paranoia and hope If the student movement is more concerned with "security assessments" than a real election campaign, it will lose what adorned it at the beginning and what shook progressive Serbia - the feeling of hope that exists and is real Slobodan Georgijev
Comment Svetozar Cvetković is both against black and against white Our great actor Svetozar Cvetković said in an interview for "Vreme" what is not said in our bazaar - that it is better to have Bitef, Fest and other festivals than not to have them. Many people will not like that because they are guided by the logic of "the worse the better" Nemanja Rujevic
Comment Desnica and Vučić: Caliph instead of Caliph Right-wing parties cannot support the student movement, despite the Kosovo students' pledge and all that iconography according to the principle "Kosovo is the heart of Serbia". Because the right-wing understanding of the world is particular, and the students firmly stand on the universality of the republican soil Ivan Milenkovic
