Serbia hails "assault" on Melbourne
Belgrade - The Serbian media on Wednesday rejoiced over the success of the nation's five players in the early stages of the Australian Open.
The Press daily said that the Melbourne Grand Slam was under a 'Serbian assault,' while Vecernje Novosti said 'Serbs - World 5-0.'
All five Serbs - the 2008 Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic, Viktor Troicki, Janko Tipsarevic, Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic - advanced to the second round.
'Their wins pleases as much as their sure-footed play,' a Vecernje Novosti editorial said.
'Perfect! Only Troicki drops a set,' said a huge header in the daily Blic. 'A better start to the first Grand Slam of the season could not have even been imagined.'
Serbs were traditionally strictly football and basketball viewers. However, they are now tuning into other sports along with their TV channels, following the success of athletes such as Djokovic or world champion swimmers Nadja Higl and Milorad Cavic.

Arok warns Socceroos of Serbia threat

Frank Arok led Australia from 1984 to 1990
After facing Germany and Ghana, Australia meet Serbia in their final Group D game and the match could prove vital in what is considered one of the stronger groups in this year's competition.
And Arok, who managed Australia from 1984 to 1990, believes preventing Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic and Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic from providing an aerial threat from set-pieces will be the key to success.
"It will be decided by corner kicks and free-kicks," he told the Sydney Morning Herald. "If I was the Australian coach, I would put them under pressure, maybe play two small, quick, guys up front and spread it out, because the big guys at the back for Serbia don't like that.
"The big danger for Australia will be the two guys [Vidic and Ivanovic] who play in England. They don't have good strikers, but these guys are so dominant in the penalty area. They'll come up for corners and free kicks, and they are so dominant in the air. It's going to be a close game, but an ugly game, and one free-kick can decide everything."

Serbia charges 15 with murder of French soccer fan
BELGRADE (Reuters) - The Serbian authorities have charged 15 people with the premeditated murder of a French soccer fan in Belgrade last September, the state prosecutor said on Tuesday.
Brice Taton, 28, sustained multiple head and chest injuries when Partizan Belgrade fans attacked him with iron bars and baseball bats on Sept. 17 before a Europa League match against Toulouse. He died 12 days later despite several operations.
"The group mercilessly attacked Taton, fully aware of the severity and illegality of their act," said a statement issued by the Serbian State Prosecutor's office.
If convicted, the defendants face up to 40 years in prison, the maximum sentence under Serbian law.
Police have arrested 13 suspects, including one they consider the main perpetrator of the attack on Taton in front of a central Belgrade bar. Two suspects remain at large.
The death of the French soccer fan prompted President Boris Tadic and the government to launch a campaign to root out violence in sport as well as racist attacks and those on foreigners and minority groups such as Roma or homosexuals.
Taton was the first foreigner to die in soccer-related violence in Serbia, though about a dozen Serbs have died or been seriously injured in similar incidents in the last decade.

Serbia Press Review - January 20
Here are the top stories in Serbia’s main newspapers. Balkan Insight has not verified the reports and cannot vouch for their accuracy.
POLITIKA
The Serbian government will not allow the country's power monopoly EPS to raise prices by 20 per cent. It is said that this demand is absolutely unacceptable, as is an increase in salaries of 17 per cent for the EPS employees.
BLIC
The voting for the new head of the Serbian Orthodox church, which is scheduled for Friday, is a complete mystery since neither of bishops believe that any candidate has a sufficient majority to have his name found among the covers of the Holy Book.
VECERNJE NOVOSTI
Vuk Draskovic, who is a leader of the Serbian Renewal Movement party, is against a referendum on Serbia's joining NATO, arguing that the resolution on the so-called military neutrality was adopted in parliament without first being put to a referendum.

POLITICAL DIALOG OF SERBIA AND EU
The candidacy of Serbia for membership in the EU will be the topic of a political dialog on January 26 in Brussels, Spanish Ambassador Inigo de Palacio Espana has announced in Belgrade. The meeting will be attended by the heads of diplomacy from Serbia and Spain, i.e. Vuk Jeremic and Miguel Angel Moratinos respectively. The Spanish presidency of the EU will present information on the hitherto steps and inclusion of the candidature on the agenda of the ministerial session. Dusica Maticki has more about what this meeting could yield.
“I believe Serbia will get a clear insight into where do we stand and what are its next moves relating to the candidacy”, said Ambassador De Palacio Espana, while stressing that his country is strongly in support of Serbia. He added, however, that the ministerial session on January 26, in line with its format is not the place where a formal decision on the sending of Serbia’s request to the European Commission could be made. That decision is made by the Council of General Affairs, so it is hard to predict when it will be on the agenda. The Spanish Ambassador has explained that the procedure is additionally burdened by the distribution of competencies within EU institutions. The transition period that has been started on December 1 last year, with the Lisbon Treaty coming into power, should end soon. It is still uncertain which of the roles will stay with the six-month presidency over the EU ,and which will belong to the permanent Chairman Herman von Rompouy, i.e. to Catherine Ashton and Stefan Fiele, as commissioners for foreign affairs and association.
While presenting the program of future work in the European Parliament, the nominated commissioner for enlargement and neighborhood policy, Czech diplomat Stefan Fiele has underlined that the enlargement is in the interest of the Union, because it is a factor of stability. EU Commissioner for Common Foreign and Security Policy Catherine Ashton has also said that the future of the West Balkans will be one of the priorities of its work, adding that she wishes the entire region to make progress towards the Union.
Another important step in the process of Serbia’s integration is the unfreezing of the Stabilization and Association Agreement. The decision on this issue needs to be made by all member-states, but Spain believes it could happen in June, when the discussion on this subject is planned. “In our opinion, Serbia has been fully cooperating with the Hague Tribunal lately, which is confirmed by the report of Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz. If it continues, I do not see how could we make any other conclusion instead of unfreezing the Stabilization and Association Agreement”, emphasized Inigo de Palacio Espana. In view of the same topic, Director of the Serbian Government Office of European Integration Milica Delevic has stated that the EU should have a perception of Serbia doing everything to fulfill its Hague obligations. According to her, it is better to focus on extraditing the remaining fugitives to The Hague than what are the next phases in the European integrations to be reached.
The EU is paying special attention to the improvement of regional cooperation, and Serbia has demonstrated in the past period that it is exerting effort in that direction, assessed the Spanish Ambassador. In comment to the mutual lawsuits of Croatia and Serbia before the International Court of Justice, he said that it would be better to look for the solution through a friendly dialog. Head of the EU Delegation in Serbia Vincent Degert agrees with the stance that dialog is the best way to overcome the bilateral and regional problems.
At the end of last year, 68% of the respondents in a survey in Serbia were in support of Serbia’s membership in the EU. Such a result was contributed to by the visa liberalization and implementation of the Interim Trade Agreement. It can be expected that the potential positive signal from Brussels would lead to even greater support among the Serbian citizens.

Iceland Ties Serbia in Handball Championship
The Icelandic national team in men’s handball tied Serbia in their first game in the European Championship in Austria last night. Iceland lost their four-goal lead in the last five minutes of the game and the final score was 29-29.
Serbia’s goalkeeper deflected a penalty shot from Snorri Steinn Gudjónsson in the last second. “Óli [captain Ólafur Stefánsson] and I watched each other and he pointed at me. Then it was my job to take the penalty throw,” Gudjónsson told Fréttabladid.
“But the tournament isn’t over. It was a tie after all, not a loss, and now we are determined to win the remaining games in our qualifying group,” Gudjónsson added.
The Icelandic team led the entire game and Iceland’s coach Gudmundur Gudmundsson was disappointed with the final result. “We absolutely had them. That is why this is so frustrating.”
“We have a difficult game against Austria next so we just have to win it,” Gudmundsson added. The game against Austria is tomorrow.

EU-Serbia meeting on January 26
BELGRADE -- The EU and Serbia will continue regular meetings through the so-called political dialogue on January 26.
One of the main topics will be the question of Belgrade’s candidacy for EU membership.
Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić will be leading the Serbian delegation while the EU team will be headed by Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos.
The European delegation will also include Belgian officials, whose country will be taking over the EU presidency in the second half of 2010.
The political dialogue will be held on the margins of the Council of Ministers meeting in Brussels, during a working breakfast, Belgrade daily Politika writes.
“At this moment, we cannot confirm the participation of EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policies and European Commission Vice-President Catherine Ashton, as well as Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele,” the Spanish presidency stated.
Because of the transition of authorities in the Brussels institutions, which are a result of the Lisbon agreement taking power, it is not certain whether Aston and Fuele will be attending.
On the same day, the European Parliament will be voting on officially naming the new EC members, including Ashton and Fuele.
The talks will include discussion on Serbia’s EU membership candidacy, relations in the region, bilateral implementation of the Interim Trade Agreement, and reforms that Belgrade is working on.
As far as the candidacy is concerned, the Spanish presidency is expected to inform Jeremić on the recent steps taken and when the candidacy application will be on the agenda of the Council of Ministers.
The Spanish presidency has informed the Committee of Permanent Ambassadors of EU member-states in Brussels that Serbia has submitted its application for candidate status, and that the committee should discuss the demand before it is given to the Council of Ministers.
According to unofficial information, Serbia’s demand could be sent to the EU ministers in February, and then depending on their decision, it could be either forwarded to the European Commission or given back to the committee for further consultations.

Germans cool on World Cup tickets
However DFB general secretary Wolfgang Niersbach said there was no cause for concern as the figures were similar to those for the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
“Sales are normal and similar to the 2002 World Cup, and the comparison with 2002 offers itself because of the similar distance and the resulting costs,” said Niersbach.
“…we should not compare it with the 2006 World Cup when Germany were hosts. Even for the 2002 final in Yokohama (between Brazil and Germany) we only sold 2,144 tickets to German fans.”

Bosnian war crimes fugitive Mladic in Serbia, UN official says
Gregorian, said on Monday that Mladic has been protected by far nationalist Serbians in Serbia for years.
Wednesday, 20 January 2010 14:17
The United Nations Deputy High Representative in Bosnia, Raffi Gregorian, said on Monday that Mladic has been protected by far nationalist Serbians in Serbia for years.
He noted that war crimes fugitive Ratko Mladic comes to the Serbian part of Bosnia and meets officials from time to time.
The Deputy Representative went on to say that the Peacekeeping Force in Bosnia have so far failed to capture Mladic because the people and authorities in the Serbian part help him.
Mladic has a network of helpers in Bosnia but is hiding in Serbia, the US diplomat said.
Ratko Mladic is wanted by the International War Crimes Tribunal at The Hague, the Netherlands, charged with genocide over Bosnian war of 1992-1995 that claimed lives of some 100,000. He is also indicted over the Sarajevo siege and he led the Serb onslaught against Srebrenica where nearly 8,000 Bosnian Muslims were killed, the worst atrocity in Europe since World War II.
The international community expects Serbia to capture and bring Mladic to justice as it did in 2008 with Radovan Karadzic, another Bosnian war criminal known as the butcher of Bosnia. Karadzic is now in the UN war crimes court in the Hague.

Croatian president threatens Bosnian-Serbs
Outgoing Croatian President Stjepan Mesic is threatening military action if the Bosnian Serbs go further with their attempts at independence. He was speaking to Croatian media a month before he is due to stand down.
The Serb part of Bosnia-Herzegovina is preparing to hold a referendum on independence. The move has led to an increase of tensions with Bosnia's other ethnic groups, the Muslims and ethnic Croats.
Mr Mesic believes that a referendum would breach the Dayton agreement which ended the Bosnian civil war in 1995. He argues that Croatia, as one of the signatories of Dayton, has a duty to see the accord is observed.
It is unclear what position Croatia's incoming president, Ivo Josipovic, will adopt on the issue. The international community's High Representative for Bosnia, Valentin Inzko, has already come out against the plans for a Bosnian-Serb referendum.

Spanish FM: Serbia crucial in region
VIENNA -- Spanish FM Miguel Angel Moratinos said in Vienna on Tuesday that Serbia is a crucial country in the West Balkan region.
He added that Madrid supports its request for receiving the candidate status for EU accession.
In his address to the Permanent Council of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Moratinos said that the European perspective of the western Balkans is very important and that all regional countries should head in the direction of the EU.
All western Balkan countries are on their way towards the EU and Spain supports them in that path, Moratinos pointed out.
Serbia is the crucial country in the region and Spain, as the one currently presiding over the EU, is pleased about the submitting of the request for receiving the candidate status, he stressed.
When it comes to Croatia, Moratinos expressed hope that there will be some progress in the following months, so that negotiations with that country could be completed in 2010.
According to Moratinos, it is important that all the West Balkan countries that tend to join the EU fulfill the necessary conditions, and Spain intends to support them in it.
Moratinos stressed that the Corfu dialogue on European security should be used as a possibility, as this process reactivated the role of OSCE and it offers a strategic perspective.
The Corfu process showed that security in Europe has a global and indivisible character, Moratinos underscored.

Jose Mourinho moves in on Manchester City target Milos Krasic as Inter Milan bid to sway Serbia star
Jose Mourinho hopes to convince CSKA Moscow winger Milos Krasic to snub a move to England in favour of joining his Inter Milan side.
The Italian champions are prepared to make a concrete offer in the summer for the Serbia international, who has already warned off Manchester City this month.
Krasic has been holding out for an offer from one of Europe's elite clubs and has little appetite to move before the World Cup finals.
Red marauder: CSKA Moscow winger Milos Krasic is in demand
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson spoke in glowing terms about the right-sided player after facing CSKA in the Champions League group phase.
Hard sell: Jose Mourinho
Arsenal and Liverpool scouts also watched him dazzle at Old Trafford when the Russians drew 3-3 with the Barclays Premier League champions, while Chelsea have also been linked with a move.
Krasic's agent Dejan Joksimovic denied he was in Italy for talks, but Inter have moved ahead of neighbours AC Milan as the favourites for his signature.
The former Vojvodina star prefers the Italian game, though friends have tried to convince him that a move to England would be in his best interests.
'Many English teams like Milos,' said Joksimovic. 'Roberto Mancini is thinking of him, but currently Manchester City nor the other interested teams have elaborated an official offer.
'CSKA Moscow want to keep him until June. If he leaves in January, Italian clubs are virtually cut off because the player has no EU passport and he costs a lot.'

Serbia Sends Bill to Montenegro over Unpaid Rent
The Serbian government has sent a 1.5 million euro bill to Montenegro's government for three years of rent on a luxury villa, used as the country's embassy in Belgrade, which has not been paid.
Blic daily reports that the deadline for payment is January 22, otherwise the Montenegrin embassy will be forced to move out.
"The next step is a warning before filing a lawsuit. We hope this will not happen, but we will strictly adhere to the rules of the legal relationship," a source from the Serbian government told the daily.
This is another move of Serbia's government following Montenegro's decision to establish diplomatic relations with Kosovo, despite Serbia's earlier requests for Montenegro to wait for a few months - until the International Court of Justice comes to a conclusion on whether Kosovo's unilaterally declaration of independence was in line with international law. Immediately after Montenegro's decision, the Serbian government announced the withdrawal of its ambassador in Podgorica.
The villa of 500 square metres, surrounded by a garden of 18 acres including a swimming pool, is worth an estimated 35,000 euro rent per month.
The building is being used based on an old agreement between the Montenegrin government and former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, SRJ, from 1994. The Serbian government is paying some 11,500 euro for renting its embassy building in Podgorica.
The Secretary of the Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mirsad Bibovic, announced earlier that talks with Serbia on finding an acceptable solution on the issue will be held.
According to the daily, no one in Podgorica has reacted to the bill. It is possible that the agreement will include resolving issues surrounding the Serbian embassy in Podgorica, which is temporarily located in the centre of Podgorica but is not suitable as its entrance is directly on the street.

Bechtel-Enka” to construct Kosovo highway
The highway is 117 kilometers long and will cost around €800 million. Time of construction of this highway will be about 36 months. The Austrian giant “Strabag” was also in the race for the highway construction, but the offer from "Bechtel-Enka" is considered more favorable in technical and cost terms.
Transport Minister Fatmir Limaj said that the highway would be 28 meters wide with 4 bands.
The new highway is considered very useful for Kosovo's economy and business. It will connect to the existing highway in Albania, providing this way a modern and fast connection of Kosovo with the Sea Port of Durres. This highway also connects the north of Kosovo with Serbia and Nis (corridor 10).
The construction of the new highway is also expected to reduce unemployment and support Kosovar companies, which are expected to be subcontractors of "Bechtel-Enka”.
