Press: Kosovo resolution steals headlines

The papers are as unanimous as lawmakers when they put the news on parliament's Kosovo resolution on their front pages. ALO—The paper is, however, one exception to the rule, reporting about a police bust in a Belgrade café that ended with the arrest five suspects over arms smuggling and robbery: "They supplied weapons to hitmen". Press: Kosovo resolution steals headlines Actress Mirjana Karanovic in interviewed under, "Roles can make you happy, but also ruin you". BLIC—"Majority supports Kosovo resolution", the newspaper reports from the parliament on the front page. It then proceeds to speculate about alleged conflict inside the cabinet over Russia's NIS offer, in an article headlined, "Russians want NIS as a gift". Another report looks at the living standard of citizens, and says, "Two average consumer baskets insufficient". BORBA—"For Kosovo within Serbia", the daily also leads with the parliament action. "Legislation is still lacking", more from the national assembly, this time on local elections that must be called by the end of this year. VECERNJE NOVOSTI—"Front for Serbia", says that parliament's overwhelming majority voted in favor of the Kosovo resolution. "Local elections in May", another front-page article says. GAZETA—The daily has a fresh approach to the parliamentary resolution on Serbia's southern province: "A farce for the people". It also runs a tabloid-style speculation that one of the participants in the presidential race will, by the end of the campaign, accuse another of wife beating. GLAS JAVNOSTI—"Kosovo will never be independent", the daily quotes President Boris Tadic and Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica's speeches in parliament yesterday. An interview with Energy Minister Aleksandar Popovic, DSS, is found under the headline, "EU can also be Serbia's enemy". DANAS—As other papers today, the liberal daily leads with the Kosovo resolution: "Preserving Kosovo a state priority". It also looks at a traffic collapse in the snowbound capital yesterday, under, "Access roads to Belgrade blocked". KURIR—A different angle is explored by the tabloid, therefore an interview with Parliament Speaker Oliver Dulic, DS, has nothing to do with hot parliamentary topics, instead it quotes the Democrat as saying, "I am Orthodox". "Ministers did the lobbying", is about DDOR insurer sale to Fondiaria, which the daily claims is owned by Richard Holbrooke. POLITIKA—"220 votes for Kosmet resolution", the front page headline reads. As for the Russian offer to buy the Serbian oil monopoly, it is explored under, "Energy security or profit from NIS". Namely, the Russians are offering less than the public enterprise is worth, but are also throwing in future pipeline and natural gas depot construction on Serbian soil. PRESS—The tabloid takes a look at what used to be Serbia's most influential family, the Milosevics. Thus, "We found Marko", says a headline, while the article claims Slobodan Milosevic's son was spotted in the Dominican Republic. "Tadic: Army to Kosovo", the paper focuses on the part of the president's speech yesterday which calls for the Serbian Army to deploy in the province, with international consent, should KFOR prove unable to protect Kosovo's Serbs.
