Vuk Drašković

Former head of Serbian State Security Radomir Markovic repeated to the appeal court that he is not guilty for the 1999 murder of the Serbian journalist and editor Slavko Curuvija.

Markovic claimed that Curuvija was only put under state surveillance "due to his contacts with foreign intelligence agencies …The task of every state security is to establish the nature of these contacts".

85 years since the assassination of King Alexander Karadjordjevic, Vuk Draskovic, author of the book "Alexander of Yugoslavia", speaks for Prva TV about him as the victor of the two Balkan wars and the Great War, his historical role and tragic fate.

A Belgrade court will consider ordering a retrial of the men convicted of the murder of 1980s Serbian President Ivan Stambolic and the attempted murder of former opposition leader Vuk Draskovic.

Serbian Orthodox Bishop Teodosije led the funeral service and said that Ivanovic was respected in Kosovo and in Serbia, but also abroad, and that it "was not rare" for Albanians to also respect him, and that he would be "deeply missed by everyone."

BELGRADE - Invitations to the 65th Prayer Breakfast in Washington have been sent to five addresses in Serbia, Politika reports.

According to Vecernje Novosti, they are Foreign Minister PM Ivica Dacic, Minister for Innovations Nenad Popovic, Deputy National Assembly President Vladimir Marinkovic, Ministry of Health State Secretary Meho Mahmutovic, and Danica and Vuk Draskovic.

President Aleksandar Vucic has signed a decree to recall Serbia's Ambassador to the United Kingdom Ognjen Pribicevic.

The reason for this has not been officially announced, Tanjug reported on Thursday.

Sources at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs "interpreted" the decree as "a part of standard procedures, as Pribicevic's mandate is expiring this year."

The leader of the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO), Vuk Draskovic, believes that Serbia should "accept and recognize the Kosovo reality."

He also wants Martti Ahtisaari's 2007 plan to be accepted as "the basis for the continuation of the Brussels dialogue."

SPO leader Vuk Draskovic said on Thursday that he supports the current Serbian prime minister, Aleksandar Vucic.

The reason, he told TV Pink, where he was a guest on the anniversary of the March 9, 1991 demonstrations in Belgrade, is that unlike many others, Vucic is conducting a pro-European policy.

Three former Serbian state security officers have been acquitted of the attempted murder in 2000 of the then opposition party leader Vuk Draskovic during Slobodan Milosevic’s rule.
