BELGRADE --
The newspapers today lead with the big news out of Serbia Wednesday – the arrest of a Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect.
ALO—"Župljanin tired to persuaded police he was Vukadin", says that former Bosnian Serb official Stojan Župljanin, wanted by the Hague Tribunal on war crimes charges, denied his identity as he was arrested near Belgrade yesterday.
"Koštunica somewhat nervous", a high ranking SPS official, Milutin Mrkonjić, is interviewed.
BLIC—"Župljanin hid with two false names", this daily says.
"Army or police to Socialists", a headline says, meaning that the Democrats (DS) are willing to let the SPS have these portfolios in the next government.
BORBA—"Government next week?", says that the SPS has decided who to join in a cabinet.
"Stojan Župljanin arrested", is also on the front page.
VEČERNJE NOVOSTI—"Dačić with Tadić", says that the Socialists have decided to go with the DS-led coalition.
"Stojan Župljanin arrested", brings more from the raid in Pančevo Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the second Serbian company seems to have managed to enter the Slovenian market, with Delta Holding clinching a mall deal there: "Delta conquers Europe", this paper puts it.
GAZETA—"This is where Župljanin hid", this tabloid says as it brings a report from the location.
"Radicals: Ivica, Kučuk Aga!", the SRS slammed the SPS in the first parliament session, mentioning despised figures from the Turkish invasion era.
