Press: Christmas, with Kosovo overtones

The newspapers this Christmas Eve are dedicating the most space to one of the most important Christian holidays. BLIC—Republic of Srpska (RS) Prime Minister Milorad Dodik, in an interview for the newspaper, tries to boost Boris Tadic's campaign from the front page: "With Tadic, both Serbia and RS will progress". Press: Christmas, with Kosovo overtones Vojvodina's most famous singer-songwriter Djordje Balasevic says in another interview, "Serbia is full of hypocrisy". Actor Milenko Zablacanski, loved for his theater and television comedy roles, is the latest victim of Serbia's deadly roads: "Milenko Zablacanski seriously injured", is about doctors' efforts to save his life after yesterday's car accident near Uzice, in western Serbia. VECERNJE NOVOSTI—"To Brussels only with Kosovo", says Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica in an interview the daily printed on its front page. "Russians have only started coming", explores anticipated Russian investments in the Serbian economy. One of the country's finest pilots, VS Lt. Col. Milan Majkic, confesses: "I would fly for nothing". GLAS JAVNOSTI—"Peace from God, Christ is born", is the front page message on this Christmas Eve. An article with a curious headline, "Grandma clucks, kids cheep", takes no further deciphering when one reads the piece, which is about some of the Christmas rituals, also exploring the way in which Serbian politicians will spend the holiday. Back in the realm of economy, East Point owner Zoran Drakulic, two-time unsuccessful contender to buy RTB Bor, reveals: "Bor is pricey because of ecology". Tanjug news agency got itself involved in an exchange with the Ministry of Culture. The newspaper reports about the clash under, "Assistant minister in conflict of interest?" KURIR—The tabloid has decided to lead with an article on in-vitro fertilization treatment, and reports about one such case of newly born twins. Whereas, it plunges into decidedly non-scientific depths to inform, "Saturn chooses president", exploring the horoscopic influence on the forthcoming presidential vote. POLITIKA—"Stories of goodness", says the daily's front page, in an editorial about campaigns to help orphaned children. Away from the spirit of the Christian holiday, "Uncertainty and division at the Security Council", quotes from an interview with Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic, and is about the Kosovo status crisis. "Serbia ice-bound", reports about troubles with the weather throughout the country. PRESS—"I pray for Kosovo", the headline quotes from the Christmas message sent by the ailing head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, His Holiness Patriarch Pavle. "My life is my politics" says President Boris Tadic, while his top contender in the presidential race, Radicals' deputy leader Tomislav Nikolic, claims, "Toma's defeat is the defeat of entire Serbia."
