Press: SAA controversy lives on

The newspapers still lead with the SAA story, which proved to be the central party issue ahead of the polls Sunday. BLIC—"Bus overturns, 22 passengers hurt", says that a traffic accident occurred yesterday in Vojvodina, on the Kovin-Pancevo road. Press: SAA controversy lives on The daily continues with a string of stories about Radical Bozidar Delic: "General Delic submitted military documents to Tribunal". VECERNJE NOVOSTI—"Vote for vote, then each on his way", announces the cabinet meeting today, called to debate the SAA and the Russian energy deal, and assumes that both agreements will be sent to the next parliament to debate. "Serbia's 17 mafias", explores the campaign against organized crime undertaken by the Serbian police and judiciary. "22 passengers injured", more on the traffic accident yesterday. Police said they would charge both the drier of the bus, who tried to avoid the collision, and the driver of an incoming vehicle, who switched lanes. GLAS JAVNOSTI—"Kosachov denies Tadic cabinet [statement]", is about the controversy yesterday when Konstantin Kosachov, a senior Russian MP, was apparently misquoted as saying that his country supports the SAA signing. "Undisputed Russian leader appointed premier for second time", the headline says about Vladimir Putin, and the Kremlin power reshuffle. "Serbian software in Boston", the owner of Serbia's leading IT retail company, ComTrade, Veselin Jevrosimovic, is optimistic. "Pensions not even half of salaries", looks at the standard of living of Serbia's pensioners. Although they will receive a raise with their checks tomorrow, the pensions are still very low. KURIR—"Osama Bin Dinkic: Terror", the huge headline, accompanying a photo of G17 Plus leader Mladjan Dinkic's eyes, is on the front page. The article says the outgoing economy minister, unhappy with their reporting, has sent tax inspectors to the company printing the tabloid. "Kosachov manipulated?", more on the conflicting SAA statements yesterday. DANAS—Victory Day is on the front page, as is Europe Day. The so-called road map for the liberalization of the EU's visa regime imposed on Serbia is reported under, "Implementation of standards key". "Accusations in caretaker government", is about the cabinet session today, which was predictably preceded by a row between the Democrats (DS) and the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), this time over sending the SAA and the Russian deal to parliament for ratification. But not all news is bad: "Election silence starts", the liberal daily also informs on the front page. POLITIKA—"Agreement with Brussels lost in translation", says of the SAA controversy, when Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica accused his former cabinet partners of withholding all parts of the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA). "Free visas still paid for", is about the implementation of the EU decision to allow some categories of citizens to obtain their visas free of charge. PRESS—The bets are on for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade: "Serbia, Russia, or Armenia wins". "Salvoes of insults for cabinet's end", looks at the last moments of the elections campaign.
