Press: Poison arrows, letters of support fly ahead of vote

The dailies keep an eye on the final days of campaigning which Sunday, apart from the usual acrimony, included a letter from Vladimir Putin. ALO—"How much they cost us", explores the tabloid, and looks at the financial cost incurred to the state by president, prime minister and speaker. Press: Poison arrows, letters of support fly ahead of vote "Choir of 'yes' from 400 throats", says that "a collective wedding" took place in Belgrade yesterday. BLIC—The daily leads with the Tadic death-threat: "Serbian president threatened with murder". "Red Star players and fans come under attack", reports about the incident in Croatia, near Vukovar. BORBA—The rift between Serbia's president and premier over the SAA is reported under, "Kosmet in throes of elections". "Nothing without Security Council", quotes the UN secretary-general's deputy in charge of peacekeeping operations, Jean Marie Guehenno, who has been visiting Pristina, Kosovska Mitrovica and Belgrade yesterday and today. VECERNJE NOVOSTI—"Count on Russia", the daily leads with the letter sent by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Premier Vojislav Kostunica. "Serbia tardy with evidence", looks at the Haradinaj case and the possibility of a retrial. "Flares against Delije", more on the violence against the Red Star fans, known as "Delije", in Croatia over the weekend. GAZETA—"Velja would not pass breathalyzer test", Velimir Ilic's colleague from the caretaker government, Dragan Sutanovac, DS, is quoted as saying. News from the Tobacco Mafia case and the cigarette smuggling group's alleged kingpin is reported under, "Cane reveals who he paid racket to". GLAS JAVNOSTI—"Most poisonous arrows between DS and DSS", the newspaper documents the recent flood of accusations and counteraccusations flying between the two bitterly opposed camps ahead of the May 11 ballot. Putin's letter to Kostunica is also on the front page: "We support Kosovo policy". "Basta and Tutotic avoid lynching", says that Red Star footballers, as well as fans, were attacked in Croatia. DANAS—"There will be talks with Radicals", is about the statements that came from the DSS-NS and the Socialists (SPS) Sunday – both coalitions seem determined not to negotiate a new government with the Democrats (DS). "You can count on our support", Putin's letter made it to another front page. KURIR—"Putin for Voja", the tabloid sums up the Russian president's message yesterday. "Buddies", says that Dragan Djilas, DS, and until recently PM Kostunica's adviser Srdjan Djuric, DSS, find "most poisonous political arrows" between their parties to be no obstacle to starting a business enterprise together. POLITIKA—"Accusations and refutals that SAA is forgery", more on the EU deal acrimony between the DS and the DSS. "Putin: Russian Kosovo stance unchanged", the message from the Kremlin is quoted. PRESS—"Kostunica, count on my support in defense of Kosovo", the tabloid puts it as it quotes the Putin letter. "EU works for DS and DSS", Strategic Marketing says, revealing the results of its latest survey, which shows that the signing of the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) has apparently benefited the campaigns of both the deal's proponents, and its opponents.
