Close the entire text of the article here
Various EU officials are increasing the pressure by making daily statements, claiming that Serbia will not get the EU candidate status if Belgrade fails to reach an agreement with Priština regarding its regional representation next week.
German diplomatic sources told the daily that there was still a strong position that Serbia needed to fulfill certain conditions in order to get the candidate status and that there was not a lot of optimism that Belgrade would do that, especially due to opposing positions on UN Security Council Resolution 1244.
The German diplomats still insist that Serbia must renounce its request to mention Resolution 1244 in the footnote below Kosovo’s name at regional meetings.

ZZZ…ZZ daily pressure; must meet deadlines otherwise no paradise; Serbia will not get candidate status and so it goes on and on.
For those that have slept through the last couple of years, the EU is screwed in every way but these articles keep on coming out as if nothing has happened and the west is living the “life of Riley.
Here is a suggestion, let the Croats join heaven on earth and we will see how many money trees the EU plants in Zagreb.

It is important for Serbia and for many countries not to surrender. Germany an its allies try step for step to materialize the so called independence of Kosovo. By not agreeing and not subordinating to this pressure, Serbia keeps it's right and sovereignty over its territory in the sout-west of Serbia. This is the reason why the west is pushing so hard. To resist this imperial politics is not only important for serbia, it is important to keep the international law alive. The integration into the EU might be important for Serbia, but to keep the country together and not to sell it out is much more important.

Quote Germany and the EU, "We, as a Union, have more problems than we can count, on all fronts. Our beloved Union will more than likely change considerably in short time, and may even dissolve completely. But we will pretend that we no problems, when we demand conditions from Serbia, who's government is still blindly trying to get membership in our failing Union. Go figure"? Yes, go figure DS, etal.? What the hell is this dying Union going to offer Serbia, that you are will to give away your historic land in our Southern province of KiM?

Serbia should look at Turkey which got EU candidature way back in 1999 and has been left high and dry since then. Getting EU candidature can really mean getting nothing at all, and if Serbia is to be so foolish as to give in to all these demands for nothing in the end .... well, all I can say then would be that she oughta have known better!

I suggest that Serbia apply for full membership in the Non-Aligned movement. Although the list of Serbia's friends on that list is shrinking (Egypt, Lybia, Yemen, Tunisia, and other dictatorships that fell or are about to fall), at least its ego won't be insulted there...

What's your attitude to it?
How kind of you to care about Serbian people well-being much more than about KAlbs well-being.
(aaayyy, 8 February 2012 21:36)
In what possible way are you saying any compromise with Serbia would be a boost for Kosovo? All that would be accomplished is that foreign money flowing into Pristina would be redirected through Belgrade to be siphoned off first. Remember this mess was caused by the fact that Belgrade destroyed all the infrastructure in Kosovo in order to drive the Albanians out.
Comparing Serbia's joining the EU with Kosovo joining Serbia is insane!

This title remind me the boiling frog story:
The boiling frog story is a widespread anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually.
Let’s see in the election how many Serbs will react to the pressure.

Even though it was NEVER voted on in the UNSC or accepted, (remember the only proof you had was someone's blog) just what is it in the 6 point plan that is not being implemented at the present. The northern crossings are covered by international agents, other than Serbs allowing for immediate control over the Mitrovica courthouse, everything else was "discussions will take place" that is what the dialogue is suppose to be doing. So even without UNSC mandate everything is being covered except for those areas being held back by Serbia.

Good, that was the purpose. :)
Now why do you come here to begin with? If you can't handle to get disgusted than just stay reading New Kosova Report. Or if you want to get into brawl with Serbs, go to the Serbian language section of B92. This place supposed to be for expats and the rest-of-us who want to have some FRIENDLY chat regardless of their background about what is on the Balkan peninsula. Instead it turned into a bizarre Albanian orgy. Well, you came here with ill intents - get what you deserve and get disgusted.
Believe me, the Serbian side you are so much disgusted with is largely just a bunch of normal people who got disgusted with the Albanian mental diarhea here - and true to the rule: "if possible, do not feed the trolls; but if you do, feed them with something they can't digest". In that spirit, I am here mostly if I have bad mood. Than, I try to feed you what you hopefully can't digest.
It wasn't always that way but I learned my lesson. Do not worry, in the real life I do not have much problems with the Albanians I know. I try to avoid of course Albanians I suspect I won't like. I also believe, B92 moderators should do their job much better because the quality of this place detorriates significantly. At one moment people will come here only to barf at each other and relieve their unrelated frustrations and problems in the real life. That moment is pretty close.

Parties which enjoy the greatest support are the opposition Serb Progressive Party (SNS) and the ruling Democrats (DS), an Ipsos Strategic Marketing poll shows.
Close the entire text of the article here
According to the data, to which the daily Danas had access, a total of 32 percent of voters would vote for SNS with their coalition partners, whereas 25 percent would support DS-League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina (LSV) list.
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is next with 10 percent, whereas nine percent would vote for Socialist Party of Serbia-United Serbia list. Serb Radical Party (SRS) and Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) are below the threshold, with six percent each, the data reads.
The poll carried out in early February shows that 59 percent of eligible voters will surely vote in the elections, whereas 18 percent said they would probably do so.
LDP can count on the greatest number of sure voters - 98 percent, SNS and SPS - 92 percent each, DS - 90 percent, DSS - 84 percent and SRS can count on 83 percent of voters.

If this poll is to be believed it means that a DS-LDP-SPS government could be the next one.

This poll is not to be trusted, if the election results turn out like this then there is no doubt of election rigging. Also, an opinion poll on EU membership recently polled well under 50% in terms of support, more in the region of 35%, so if thats the case then the majority of voters cannot want to vote for parties in favour of EU membership, there is something hugely wrong here.

SCP it could also be that people in Serbia have begun to wise up and are not voting only on whether a party supports or is against EU membership. As I'm sure you would agree EU membership isn't the priority right now.
As for election rigging, you make it sound easy, but if there is any question of that I'm sure the likes of Vucic, Todorovic and Kostunica will complain.
What is really the problem is that you can't get your head around the idea that the current government could be re-elected with LDP. It could happen, right now I'd say it might be very slightly more likely than a SNS led block.
Why? The 'opposition' block is utterly fragmented. Seselj pulling one way, Kostunica pulling another with Nikolic trying to get them on board. You can bet your last pound that Seselj and Kostunica will ask for a very, very high price to pay for their support. After all DSS and SRS have less to lose, if SNS fails in this election they might calculate that support for SNS will collapse and supporters will return to SRS and DSS.
At the same time SNS still hasn't put forward a case for being a credible government, although perhaps they will manage to do this by the time of the election. But will it be enough?

Just exactly as we suspected. What is not surprising however is the marganisaltion of the lunatic fringe, the Radicals and the decline of the DSS who's only hope now lies in a pre election coalition with the SNS. What is surprising however is the increase in support for the LDP. One suspects that its the result of a number of factors: the consolidation of the liberal and minority vote. The LDP will take votes away pro EU factions in the ruling DS-LSV bloc as well as from ethnic Hungarian, Croat and maybe even Bosniak and Albanian voters. This could well be where the protest vote could go this time.
With 3 months to go and alot to play for, I think it could very well be as you were. No change.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has made a decision to introduce “basics of world religious cultures” and “basics of secular ethics” to Russian schools.
Close the entire text of the article here
Religious classes were held experimentally in 20 Russian regions and around 300,000 students attended them.
Parents will choose one of six models of the class and teachers will attend courses and trainings until the end of August.
Four models are religious – basics of Orthodox Christianity, Islam, Judaism or Buddhism and the remaining two are basics world religions and secular ethics.
Religious communities will choose teachers for the first four models.
According to Russian Education Ministry’s data, majority of students are interested in ethics, 42 percent. 30 percent of the students want to attend basics of the Orthodox Christian culture, basics of the world religions 18 percent, basics of Islam nine percent and basics of Buddhism one percent.
Religious leaders back Putin
Putin has received the backing of Russia's powerful Orthodox Church, its chief rabbi and top Islamic leader as he seeks a return to the presidency next month
The prime minister spoke to the three religious leaders ahead of presidential elections which will be held on March 4, AFP has reported.
“I wish to thank you. You said once that you were working like a slave on a galley. But the only difference is that a slave does not have the level of commitment to his work as you do,” Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill said at the meeting.
“Thanks to the Almighty, the country has been saved from ruin," added Russia's Chief Mufti Talgat Tadzhuddin. "And one must add - with your direct involvement!"
Chief Rabbi Berl Lazar for his part thanked Putin "for everything you have done for Jews."
Putin is seen as the overwhelming frontrunner in the election despite a recent admission that he may lack the 50-percent backing needed to win in the first round.

42% + 30% + 18% + 9% + 1% = 100%.
The rest of the students are interested how to burn and destroy a church the most efficient way. There is a short supply of the domestic teachers - at the begin the schools will employ guest professors from abroad. Unfortunately they could not find the "country" on the Russian maps which would be the best for this kind of outsourcing - please help them find it.

what an appaling idea! Organised religion, of whatever dogma, is a primary medium for repression and conflict. It exists to focus power and control on those who control the dogma an who know the secrets. It is a force which resists change and inhibits the evolution of an ethical philosophy to guide humanity, one based on truth, not on Bronze Age creation myths. Churches and their priests tell lies to children - and we are supposed to respect those lies. How sad that one man, Putin, can allow more priests to telli more lies to more children.

Bganon and you should re-read the article. The title is very much misleading. I think, B92 could do a better summary and make a proper title of the content they correctly write later. There won't be any "compulsory" religious education in Russia. Instead, like in most E.U. countries the students can CHOSE either:
a) study one particular of the four major religions of the country (Orthodox-Pravoslav, Muslim, Iudaism, Buddhism)
b) study the basics and presumably the history of world's religions
c) study secular ethic standards
This is even a broader choice becase b) is usually absent in E.U. countries, so is Buddhism (despite Berlin, London and Paris being cities with very large Buddhist community).
And the choice "c)" is for the "rest of us". Not-so-surprisingly, the majority of Russian kids chose "c)".
There is no d). Possible choices....

Bogdanov was sentenced for taking part in a mass fight with the police ahead of a basketball match between Partizan and Red Star in Belgrade.
He has been in custody, which was today extended, since May 24, 2011 when he was deported from Italy for causing unrest at a football match in Genoa.
Judge Ivana Ramić said the defendant was guilty of obstructing police officers in the execution of their duty.
B92 reporter says that security level in the courtroom was increased during the sentencing.
Both defense and the Prosecution have the right to file an appeal.
Bogdanov was deported from Italy last May after the Italian court overturned a sentence of three and a half years in prison and banned him from entering the EU member states in the next five years.
He was arrested as soon as he returned to Serbia and remanded in custody due to risk of repeating the crime.

The zone stretches along the administrative line between Kosovo and Metohija and central Serbia.
Dikić told journalists that at the moment there are no factors which could jeopardize peace in the area.
During a tour of the Gendarmerie Command-Operation Center in Ristovac, eight kilometers north of Bujanovac, southern Serbia, Dikić presented the system of thermovision i.e. video surveillance over the ground security zone which is in the jurisdiction of the Gendarmerie.
Reporters were able to see how video cameras and direct monitoring of the field can be used to control the situation and prevent the smuggling of excise goods, as well as illegal crossings over the administrative line.
Dikić said that the Gendarmerie has good cooperation with citizens living in the ground security zone, the Serbian Armed Forces and members of KFOR on the other side of the administrative line.

Reporters were able to see how video cameras and direct monitoring of the field can be used to control the situation and prevent the smuggling of excise goods, as well as illegal crossings over the administrative line. - The next time Thaci tries to send some of his "exports" from KiM, you should go and pay him a personal visit, Dikic. You look like you could teach that old mafioso a lesson or two.

Banja Luka-based daily Glas Srpske writes that the international prosecutor also violated a decision to form an expert team and a decision to end the Doborovoljačka St. case that was made by Bosnia-Herzegovina Chief Prosecutor Milorad Barašin in 2010 by dropping the case.
Vesna Budimir was named the team coordinator and head and Romano, Dragan Čarlija, Alfredo Strippoli, Aleksandar Faladžić, Željka Radovanović and Munib Halilović were the team members.
The team held several meetings before Romano made the decision to end the investigation. Čarlija, Faladžić and Radovanović said in a report that there were elements of a war crime in the Dobrovoljačka case.
The chief prosecutor’s decision to form the team has never been suspended, which means that Romano’s decision was illegal, the daily writes.
“The decision to form the team cannot be suspended because it stops being valid only after the Dobrovoljačka case is finished. The team had to inform the prosecutors’ collegium about everything. Instead, Romano issued the order to end the investigation on his own, probably relying on changes to the rules on internal organization of the Bosnia-Herzegovina prosecution which came in effect on January 5. But regardless of the change, the expert team needed to decide on the Dobrovoljačka case and Romano could not do it on his own,” a source from the Bosnia-Herzegovina prosecution told Glas Srpske.
The Serbian Justice Ministry demanded an explanation from the Bosnia-Herzegovina Prosecution as to why the investigation was suspended.

You write "why was the investigation suspended"?? Because you are Serbs, that's why. Serbs don't count as victims. This grotesque, racist double standard coming mainly from the United States, remains very much in place.
Has anyone asked why there is so little media coverage of the Kosovo organ transplant allegations?? Why all the UN countries try to keep this quiet and hushed? Because you're Serbs, that's why.

He also believes that only the democrats can give a candidate for the future prime minister.
Kostreš said that the best option for the LSV was to confer with the DS.
“The reason is simple. Although, the League does not see eye to eye with the DS in respect of the level of autonomy Vojvodina should have, the two parties share the same view on the EU pathway, cooperation with the Hague Tribunal and other things accomplished during the rule of Mirko Cvetković's government,” he told daily Danas.
He said that it would be irresponsible for the LSV to back anyone else and make it possible for the SNS to become the biggest party and the first to propose a candidate for the prime minister.

Thanks for the warning, Cortres, I will surely now never vote for anyone in the DS. I don't like the SNS and the clowns in it, but I do not like you DS'ers either. You have sold off Serbia, and gotten nothing in exchange but more debt. You brag about tuning over Mladic and Karadjic as a great accomplishment - shame on you.

The government’s measures are aimed at safeguarding the power system.
Households and institutions, which provide vital services, such as heating plants, hospitals, waterworks, food production complexes and similar, will not be left short of electricity, the statement said.
Local self-governments have been instructed to cut off decorative and commercial lighting.
The government has reached this decision upon receiving a report by Serbia's national electric power company EPS which reads that in spite of all efforts the electricity situation in Serbia is very difficult due to sever weather conditions, the statement reads.
Serbia's state electric power company EPS said that it would be able to continue to supply electricity without power cuts for the next seven to ten days if high consumption continued.
Serbian President Boris Tadić has called on the citizens to rationally use the electric energy and proposed that the poorest families and households be exempted from payment of February power bills.
Serbian public gas company Srbijagas Director Dušan Bajatović has stated that if consumption continued at this rate Serbia would have enoughh gas for three weeks.

Not to worry about adequate gas supply for Serbia - just lock all the politicians in one chamber, the likes of Nikolic, Vucic, Jovanovic, Dacic, most of the DS, SRS, SPS, etc., let them all talk at the same time, and Serbia will have all the gas it needs. No need to export it though, as all countries have their own politicians to supply them with abundance of harmful gases.
