Winter reservations - cheap holiday

Although summer hotel packages of three to 35 percent cheaper if you pay now, Serbian tourists have resistance to planning vacations six months ahead.

"In my mind I would not have to pay home six months earlier, I do not want them at full trot, and God knows where I'll be then!" - Says the most common phrase you mention earlier in Serbia or reservations for winter vacations.

- Problem Serbian passengers do not know how important an earlier booking in the West for years, to date. Throughout the modern world, tourists are beginning to pay summer arrangements now, so half a year, or at least a few months earlier. And here it is not the case, although the hotel arrangements now three to 35 percent cheaper, says Mehmet Gunduz, director of travel agency travel 1A.

According to him, the hotel and the season in January performing with significantly lower prices summer, which mainly include the hotel except in winter cheaper charter air transportation to summer destinations. Also, the lower cost "involved" and the agency, allowing the discount of their own commission.

- A balance is, say, a family of four in total holiday pay significantly less than in May or June, at the time you plan your summer and budget, and has time to get information about places to visit on summer vacation. What is important, previously booked arrangements are generally paid in full by the end of February, so that by summer they have time to collect more money for entertainment and shopping, said Gunduz.

Earlier payment is certainly good for the agencies and hotel operators, not just for the money, which prepared the season is already on its basis, worldwide, in tourism planning season and the number of visitors. For all, therefore, the economy, tourists, agencies and hoteliers - early booking is pure gain.

Experts in the field of Tourism explained that the discounts are lower as we approach the holidays, whether it's winter in Dubai, which is the best paid in August, and summer in Spain, Greece or Turkey, which is a clean win to pay it in October when the usual deal cheaper and 30 to 35 percent.

Asked what happens when someone has a reason to cancel the deal paid six months ago, that most tourists are interested in Serbian, the answer is that the full amount back certainly to anyone with proof of extraordinary incapacity, or find a physician about the disease, a certificate of death in the family ... they include floods, earthquakes and other sudden disturbances, and the money is returned within eight days. This is the law of the General Conditions trip to Serbia, according to the tourism industry.

Under this act, with which the passengers get to know the time of payment arrangements, it was determined what percentage of the agency and retained in all other circumstances. Thus, reserves five percent of the money paid if the trip has been canceled until 45 days and 10 percent of 44 to one month before departure ... But as much as 90 percent of nine to six days ahead of his trip, the traveler and the agency does not return anything if, for their personal reasons not on the list of justified absence, terminate time in five days.

However, we should think about the worst. For a family not a little to save 50 euros if paid in January Serbs popular arrangement in Alanya, where at the "Vasa", for example, seven nights per person now costs 199 euros. Or, to us yet unknown Sitges near Barcelona, where the arrangement of five-star hotel with air transport now costs an average of 499, and in June, but the difference will be 50 to 200 euros per payment. And for a place on the Costa Dorado, or the Gold Coast, in the rank of Palma de Majorca and Ibiza ... So now, let Serbian tourists weigh or be at least ask why so much care about the rich passengers from Western Europe.

Hollywood Albanian Style

Will finally put an end to all the latest rumors about his dubious investments and ensure that it never turns out any "skeleton in the closet." And in his biography, it was everything.

This multi-millionaire today from Lugano in Switzerland controlled by his business empire in Europe, the Middle East, South America and the former Soviet Union.

According to the official biography, which is right fictionalized literary work, Paco (1951) is one of ten children of the village near Pristina grow without water or electricity, that as the best student in Germany and arrived there with the work on the docks and cafes acquired degree in marketing and trade.

Meadow - the victim and the crime of forgetting

Canadian Edward Tavilu are not allowed to place a monument in the area killing 11 Serbs.

"Something bad happened. Under the bus to come to Gracanica planted the bomb, "told us the Swedish KFOR officer. Behind him stood two blonde Nordic soldiers in bulletproof vests, with their hands on guns. "Are there any casualties, wounded? Where was the bomb, the bus was escorted, what have you done? "Shut up questions, of fresh knowledge about who are his enemies in this area, but backed off, he exchanged a few words in Swedish from his company and complete the official said," No nothing I can tell you. For everything else, I am ready to help. "

Very soon it became clear that the explosive was placed in a drain pipe under the road in the village near Podujevo Livadice. The front of the bus "Nis-eskpresa" completely disappeared in the blast, remained polusagorela wreckage, pieces of concrete, glass, travel bags, luggage and scattered human bodies.

During this time on a nearby hill Florim Ejupi watched what was happening. He pulled a cigarette from the mouth dogorelu and shoved it in a hole the stump where he sat. Okrenio up and gone, the job is done.

West went on to a world without numbers, without the tags immediately, with no victims, reduced to an incident of unknown offenders, and after a few days ago announced how many people died.

One man was never identified, no one has asked him, not be told by his relatives, even those in which it went to Kosovo. He was buried in a cemetery in Gracanica, a cross with no name. Gorica Scepanovic on his grave every year brings flowers, she is survived that day, and the nameless, the excess K-passenger had no luck. So if one day, unknown company or obtain a loner on his example we learn how we are nameless and run against the evil around us and in us.

Freedom of movement of Serbs returning to Kosovo and Metohija in affirmed from the final blow because, until that day, military escorts gave some security. Meadow have shown that there are, the army, tanks, scouts, will and intention that these can be protected on the road. Fear of travel and caution on the road became part of collective heritage and means at each movement out of the enclave.

Thanks to that of cigarette butts, which is due to the slow hand of justice Florim Ejupi found himself in jail. Saliva was his having been sufficient evidence, and is located in the most secure and best organized place in Kosovo - the U.S. base Bondsteel near Ferizaj. From there, the only suspect in the terrorist attack, the death of eleven Serbs and wounding 35 passengers - escaped. It is not known is there any escape, but Florim is. "Sam from Livadica, I am from Camp Bondsteel," the man finds himself in Albania.

However, his film story is nastvalja. He was re-arrested and sentenced to 40 years in prison and then freed from the EULEX justice "due to lack of evidence."

"This crime does not become obsolete, it is directed against other ethnic groups," said lawyer Zivojin Jokanovic from the beginning involved in this case.

At the scene today there is no signature. The only person who came here Sladjana Cvetkovic, arrived with his family to light a candle and thank God I was alive. Some people from Serbian institutions laid the flowers in recent years, now all empty - no one came. Canadian Tavil Edward, who worked in international missions in Kosovo, funded and created a monument to victims of terrorist attacks. But he could not put it because of "administrative and other obstacles." He left the province, leaving the mark at the Gracanica monastery with the vow, and request that he made him who he can and when it is possible.

By then, over the weeds in Livadica stand some people who have lost everything, standing alone and forgotten, just like her mound unknown victims in a cemetery in Gracanica.

Scientists are complaining because of low salaries

Union of scientific institutions seek reconsideration of responsibility Bozidar Djelic the difficult position of scientific institutes.

Most scientific research institutes located in a precarious position, and the main problem is - low salaries of researchers, institutes barely cover overhead costs, the survival of the majority of them depend on the projects and funds provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the budget is limited.

Thus the situation in a number of scientific institutes describe the representatives of Union of Scientific Research of Serbia, who sent an open letter to the Prime Minister of Serbia, Mirko Cvetkovic, seeking to review the work of the Ministry of Science and the responsibility of the Minister Bozidar Djelic. As explained at the press conference yesterday, it does not mean to seek the resignation of the Minister Djelic, but if their demands are not respected, and it will do.

Representatives of trade unions are dissatisfied with their contracts on project implementation, state of the agricultural institutes, not signing the Special Collective Agreement in science. Contracts for the implementation of projects by the Ministry of Science offered institutes, violated the Labor Law, Law on Scientific Research, and act on selection, evaluation and project finance, said yesterday at a press conference Đurđica Jovovich, senior scientist and president of the Union Employees in Scientific Research.

- Last year they put out two scientific institutes in the field of agriculture, in Nis and Gucci, while the other is in Zajecar in bankruptcy. Employees from Nis and Guce remained on the street, while those in Zajecar not received salaries 20 - said Jovovic.

Union representatives pointed out to request the earnings are equal to those received by professors at the university.

The Ministry of Science say they have agreement on financing projects for the period from 2011. 2014. , clearly defined means for the work of researchers on the accepted projects. They say they will talk with representatives of ministries and project managers to analyze the required funds. They deny that the employees at the institutes have lower salaries than their colleagues in colleges and say the 2008th year, wages increased by 30 percent and then the equal benefits, while the payment of past work, the employer or institute.

"Spending on science in 2011. year were 23 percent higher than the budget allocation in 2010. year ", says the line ministry.

As for the scientific institutions in Zajecar, Nis and Guce, the Ministry of Science suggest that this is not scientific institutes, because they lack a sufficient number of scientific personnel required for accreditation, but are registered under the Law on innovation.

Putin, perhaps, without a visa for the EU

At its meeting in Strasbourg evroparlamentarci made it clear that they have no confidence in the Russian courts.

President Vladimir Putin of the Russian government could be denied entry into the European Union. Of course, all provided that the competent Member States agree with the proposal who yesterday presented the delegates of the European Parliament. Specifically, they were at a meeting in Strasbourg called for the introduction of strong sanctions against the Russian Federation, including visa bans senior public servants.

Evroparlamentaraca anger was induced, as stated - very bad state of the judiciary, the largest country in the world. In a resolution adopted on this occasion and titled: "The rule of law in Russia," notes the dissatisfaction of Europeans during the former oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky and his associate Platon Lebedev (both sentenced to 14 years in prison).

Russian authorities were criticized for the arrest of opposition leader Boris Nemcova, 31 December last year, after a protest rally that was held with the permission of the Moscow government. The resolution also includes criticism for the human rights situation in the North Caucasus, weaknesses in the investigations of murders of a number of Russian journalists, and inefficiency in solving the cause of death of Sergei Magnitskog, lawyers, investment fund "Hermitage," which, under mysterious circumstances, died 16th November 2009. in solitary confinement in detention.

In short, lawmakers believe that justice in Russia selective and demanding that the Russian authorities on all matters referred to more frequently consult with European colleagues.

Consciously or not, evroparlamentarci were, in the Resolution, put into the role of "referee Russian judiciary", as in Moscow could not pass without comment jetkih. Andrei Klimov, deputy chairman of the Committee on International Relations of the Russian Duma, in an interview with daily newspaper Kommersant, said: "When such resolutions proposed for no particular reason, or no calls for dialogue between Russia and the EU, creating the impression that evroparlamentarci, simply - have better things to do. "

According to him, the adoption of this resolution is probably done at the insistence of Russian opposition leaders living in Europe. Klimov reminds us that recently took place in Strasbourg press conference attended by Werner Schulz, Heidi Hautala and co-chairman of the Party of National Freedom Boris Nemcova. The conference discussed the state of Russian opposition ahead of elections in Russia - parliamentary (the end of this year) and presidential 2012th

It is interesting that at this conference Nemcova revealed a list of Russian government officials who should be denied a visa to travel to EU countries. At the head of the list bears the name of the President of the Russian government - Vladimir Putin.

Representative of the Estonian parliament liberaldemokrata in Europe - Kristina Ojland - pointed out, however, that this institution should not interfere with the work of diplomatic services of any member of the EU, since such issues out in the field of its powers.

Is the determination expressed at the meeting of parliamentarians in Strasbourg enough to the EU-Russia relations entered a new "cold ring" will be seen as next week when Brussels is just Putin arrived. This meeting will require the parties to a pragmatic approach to all problems, and about the human rights situation in Russia.

Or, as Michael said Fjodotov, Head of the Presidential Council for Human Rights: "I do not have to deputies of the European Parliament to show us our faults. We are certainly better known. We need help to overcome these deficiencies. "

Asteroid hits Earth in 2036?

NEW YORK - According to Russian scientists, the asteroid Apophis weighs about 270 million tons could collide with Earth 2036th year and so create chaos across the globe and the deaths of millions of its inhabitants, according to U.S. media.

The U.S. space agency (NASA), however, disagrees with this outlook, and argues that the likelihood of Apophis hitting Earth 1 in 250,000.

They also estimate that I will attack, if it comes to him with such force will be like a nuclear explosion of 510 megatons, and point out that this asteroid could not "Armageddon", but that could cause a terrible tsunami and the death of several million people.

Russian and U.S. scientists are now left in the next 25 years, follow the path of Apophis, and that if they determine that the attack is inevitable to find solutions to its trajectory changed or mitigate the consequences of stroke. Scientists argue that a solution could be to use nuclear weapons to break Apophis into smaller pieces.

The hunt for pirate radio

Approximate location of illegal broadcasters reveals a technical way, and their door staff to come seeing the RBA antenna.

At the door of illegal radio broadcasters from Lazarevac team Broadcasting Agency (RBA) made it, after the usual procedures at that station owner did not respond, the seal and thus prevent further broadcast. Authorities have quickly noticed that, despite the ban, the program with the computer still transmitted. When they returned to the scene, they found intact sealed door, and another, recently blasted through which the owner and employees re-entering the premises. It was an incredible move by illegal broadcasters because formal - not off mark.

This is just one case permanent battle with radio and TV pirates that the "Policy" retell Đuričković Nikola and Goran Ćurguz, authorized personnel of the RBA, while traveling to Valjevo to shut down an illegal radio station X.

- In Valjevo we came to seal the equipment owner of the radio frequency for which no permit, and even she had never been applied to obtain the document - explains, adding that today Ćurguz pirate TV stations almost nonexistent, and that it is mainly on radio- pirates.

The exact place where it was broadcast radio program of Valjevo our counterparts, led by the previously obtained data of the Republic Agency for Electronic Communications (RTA), they found after visiting three of the roof, and were able to determine the extent to which the flat cables reach. So they discovered that the radio program broadcast on X from the bedroom of his owner. Although we were assured that Valjevo on the radio "X" there was no advertising, no quizzes where you get just a huge phone bill, but that the broadcaster to "radio as a hobby and played songs for the society, the law is the law - and the one who violates must match. So the end of 2010. were submitted 119 requests for initiation of criminal proceedings and 146 criminal charges against illegal radio and TV broadcasters.

Location from which the illegal broadcasts finds RATEL through measuring stations in Belgrade and Nis. But these cells can not detect a signal from all over Serbia. So the fight with illegal broadcasters and mobile measuring center nestled in a van.

- Radio stations are hidden to most interesting places. When going to the field transmitters are zaticali in basements, rooms, the bower, we even found one in "smederevci" - the story Ćurguz.

Go to the field based solely on reports RATEL because the document is only valid evidence in court. Broadcasters to black, before it comes to stamping equipment and facilities, indicates the decision to cease broadcasting. If you do not use the right of appeal, and continued broadcasting the address they will get a warning, and if it does not help - the RBA team with a stamp.

- The action we are going to secrecy so that we found illegal broadcasters in action. Some are trying to distract us from the intentions of force, threatening politicians, ministers, let us dogs and even guns removed. It happens that we are not allowed to enter, or simply that we do not open the door. We ask for police assistance, which usually get after 72 hours. Broadcasters even in this case are not obliged to receive us, and we can not enter into force because it is mostly private homes - explains Đuričković complications in the business. Only when you put your stamp on equipment or apartment, the case came before the Magistrates Court. Neither the RBA nor RATEL can not deprive the property of illegal broadcasters. Criminal charges be filed only if you take off the seal and continue broadcasting.

For all these reasons, complicated procedures and small powers of state agencies involved in this field, illegal greetings, wishes and congratulations are still present in the air.

Tales of the Serbs - millionaires "Google"

In one of the world's largest technology corporations and is well earned, but millions are not just guaranteed to all, says the "Policy" One of our insider.

WASHINGTON - The "Google" is a great work environment is smart, and stimulating working atmosphere. Salaries are on the level of other companies in Silicon Valley. And, of course, all employees are millionaires ...

This is a suggestion of a young man from Serbia who works in the "Guglpleksu", the headquarters of multinational companies today, "Google", which throughout the world today has just over 23,000 employees and a reputation as one of the greatest technological and business phenomenon of the Internet era. Our source is for obvious reasons wishes to remain anonymous, and the occasion to talk with him is what is about two weeks, said a professor of Electrical Engineering of Belgrade Veljko Milutinovic - to his students, when they employ the "Google", but after a year day become millionaires.

The professor also said that owning shares "Google", after the experience of two years, the employees there are four million, and after four to 16, which, of course, sounds very "fairytale".

"These numbers are completely unrealistic. I'm in the 'Google' for several years, but I am still far from the first million. My colleague, also from Serbia, has been employed since 2005, has, of course, more than me, but nowhere near the amount covered by Professor Milutinovic. "

What is true is that all who are employed in "Google", with pay, receive, and the so-called stock options. It is a possibility that at a certain price, more favorable than the stock market, buy a certain number of shares of the company, for what should count rate of your money.

"Google" is a "public" company, which means that the joint stock company whose shares are traded on the BSE. Their price depends on supply and demand, which in turn generates a state of "Google" business. Currently, one share is quoted at around 616 dollars, considerably less than the historical peak, when it was worth about 740 dollars.

In "Google", which is the main gateway for searching the Internet, and who makes the fact that the search results and advertisements published in accordance with the subject of search, there are quite a millionaire, and that, besides the founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin (who are billionaires ), mainly those that were found when the firm in 2004. came to the stock exchange. The initial offer of value of shares was set at 85 dollars, and all those who were farsighted enough to invest a lot of action and money, the rich, as early as 2007. their value soared to over $ 700.

According to our source, all "stock options" do not get the first days of signing the employment agreement, but it stretched to about four years. How will hard to get, depending on the place in the managerial hierarchy.

However, it should be noted that the "stock options and shares only rich on paper. If someone decides to liquidate, has to count that 40 percent of the state to take, as a tax on capital gains. And the sale is not easy to decide. What if "Google" tomorrow come up with something revolutionary new, which will raise the value of shares in the heavens?

Employees is important because regular monthly payment amount on the check. Since it is in Silicon Valley always competition for "talent" and their recapture, "Google" at the end of last year, all employees happy by email with the information to all wage increases by 10 percent, with a Christmas card of 1,000 dollars.

States - the largest customer

Due to the large supply of foreign exchange market on Monday, the euro will be worth 103.28 dinars. - On Monday, the new Euro-bond auction, the former bankers snapped up these securities.

 

Past week working for capital 'bankers the most important and largest business partner was a state. On market first appeared securities in euros, and the auction held on Wednesday, "angry" is all that is all that the state is presented for sale. What percent of bonds worth a total of 200 million euros bankers were literally snapped. For these debt securities Republic of Serbia to them for a year paid 4.48 percent interest.
Mostly because of this, the national currency will start working next week on the exchange list, welcome stronger than it was at the end of the week. Thus, on Monday, one euro worth 103.28 dinars.
From the perspective of the state, with much of the debt in euros, the collection of foreign currency in this way is cheaper than to borrow money from banks with interest of at least seven percent. On the other hand banks are doing business with the state much less risky than to borrow the money economy. This interest has increased its offer euros in the market which has further strengthened the U.S.. If the state and bankers make money, then who loses? In the opinion of our interlocutors, in this way to discourage exporters, while imports become more profitable. On the other hand, borrowers will get that rate for the loan will now be smaller, while punishing savers.
Patriot Pavicevic, Assistant Director of the Public Debt, recalls that the issuance of treasury bills and the auction is not a decision that was made overnight. This is strictly procedural act which precedes the decision of the Government, says: - This was preceded by a proper analysis that would determine what effect the show had the exchange rate, the behavior of market participants and the state of the current account of the state from which to pay outstanding liabilities. Not only to foreign, but also to domestic creditors and budget users. Issue of Government bills, like every other journalist commented, realized 100 percent and the state is thus directly into the budget the money received minus the interest - explains our source.
He said that the auction involved 20 participants who have submitted 102 bids. Of these, 29 accepted the offer to the banking sector, and other activities.
This work will, he adds, the state will save money than initially planned, for the interest in such securities tremendously.
- I am sure that your readers ask whether the state are giving up dinarizacije. But this way we wanted to take advantage of very favorable climate in the market, in other words, restored confidence in the state, its institutions and policies of the NBS. We plan to offer the same market and bonds denominated in dinars, as we have done. It is a long-term securities with maturities of 18 or 24 months and three-year treasury bills. We plan to broadcast the securities with longer repayment period - to announce Mayor.
State the job for only one reason, he adds. To timely provide enough money to finance the budget deficit, the Budget Law for 2011. amounts to about 120 billion, says our interlocutor and announce that the new Euro-bond auction will be held on 14 February. Convinced that this will contribute to the stabilization of the market, the dinar exchange rate, increasing confidence in the country. However, Ivan Nikolic, Associate Economic Institute, does not think so.
- It happens to us is exactly what No way not to repeat - is concerned Nikolic. - Even before the crisis, banks have borrowed abroad, inflow of foreign currency on that basis was great and the dinar has strengthened sharply. And far from their central bank withdrew euros to buy government debt securities. Speculative capital increases the supply of foreign exchange market, thus strengthens the U.S., while inflation is easing. But this is not a way to stabilize prices. Because they did not cause price increases, but monopolies and underdeveloped market - said Nikolic, adding that the government cancels the effects of last year reached or discourages exporters who earn more when the euro was worth more.
Nikolić said that this only creates the illusion that the exchange rate stable and to the National Bank of Serbia, seemingly helping to defend the price. Damage from these moves are much larger than benefit, says our source.
- The excess of foreign currency that comes malicious borrowing countries is not used for investment but for the financing of pensions and salaries and current spending. This only creates an illusion of stability.
On the other hand, his counterpart Goran Nikolic, from the Centre for the new policy, believes that the estimates of government to borrow cheaply enough smart. He does not think the broadcast of the Euro-bond state enterprises to compete with banks and thus fewer new loans remains for the economy and population.
- Interest on loans to the economy are much greater than 4.48 percent. That is why the banks more profitable to lend money more expensive. The second situation is when the state transmitted debt securities in dinars, where the interest is around 13-14 percent. Given that there is a consensus NBS and the Government that the U.S. bankers to be stable for a good salary - says Nikolic.
However, Nebojsa Savic, a professor at the University FEFA, does not think so. He says doing business with the state is from the perspective of banks is much less risky than when he placed the money economy.
-The market is located and attractive stock in dinars and euros. For the state, on the other side of borrowing more expensive and banks offer more attractive conditions - says Savic. But he can not be based on short-term trend to conclude whether these long-term exchange rate discourage exports.
As Miroslav Zdravkovic, editor Ekonomija.org site is concerned, this just shows the state in what is a debt trap inflammation. Because that would be paid back debts and cover the red in the state treasury, has agreed to blackmail banks. The main job of bankers has become the borrowing country and they are increasingly losing the incentive to borrow money economy and the population is convinced Zdravkovic.

Both from Europe make Germany

Plan Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy to unify economic policies in European Union member states feared some.

Historic shift in Berlin to the European Union, which last Friday made Chancellor Angela Merkel, by all accounts, could mark a new step towards the creation of a European superstate. Merkel, supported by French President Nicolas Sarkozy proposed a plan to introduce stricter rules in the common economic policy, 17 members of the eurozone.

After years of opposition from Germany to establish a common European economic and fiscal policy, Merkel and Sarkozy are on the table a plan that would put all euro zone countries had to agree on a border to go into retirement, introducing a flat tax for large corporations, harmonize salaries in the public sector, abolish automatic wage increases, to limit public spending and to harmonize social security schemes, with the possible introduction of sanctions for countries that violate the new rules. Moreover, it is envisaged to limit public debt of all eurozone countries entered into their national constitutions.

In exchange for this plan, Germany and France would have agreed to increase EU funds for financial assistance to members of smoke into debt, such as Greece and Ireland. However, Merkel stressed that the agreement of the said measures must be agreed in March to Berlin has given money for a larger aid package.

The move represents a revolutionary shift Merkel's Berlin, which could in several areas that affect the future of the entire EU. First, drastically deepened the gap between the mainstream in the EU and the United Kingdom, that does not want too many financial and economic authorities are transferred to the EU level.

While Merkel does not want to Poland and Britain, who are not members of the eurozone, are neglected in the decision-making on economic policy throughout the European family, the new rules that it proposes will inevitably lead to a much more integrated EU, which would effectively have a kind of European economic government.

This would address what the father of European economic and monetary union Jacques Delors called a "systemic error", or the fact that there is no common economic and fiscal policies of EU countries eurozone past one another competition, and economic "shirking" one country inevitably all others.

However, appeals to the German-French plan has come not only from the troubled economy is prosperous but also the euro. Italian horror is already making rules for the punishment of heavily indebted countries precisely because Rome greatly exceeds the rule that member states may have budget deficits to three percent of gross domestic product (GDP) and public debt to 60 percent of GDP.

Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini has said that "Europe is not ready for the harmonization of tax rates" and "impossible to reach agreement on such matters until the end of next month."

On the other hand, Belgium, Luxembourg and Spain are frantically against linking wage increases to certain indexes, and Austria does not want to increase the age for retirement. Greeks fear the idea of changing the national constitution which would set limits for public debt, while the Irish at any cost do not want to give up their low taxes for corporations.

In contrast, the "Pact for Competitiveness" Angela Merkel wants to redirect the entire EU to German success rate. Chancellor is not accepted practice by the new estimate of analysts that such economically the Divided EU can hardly keep up in global competition with China, India and Brazil.

Of course, critics of this proposal argue that Europe does not need more German, but more cooperation and unity. Specifically, critics point out that the German economic model relies on a permanent trade surplus, and Germany with their goods and services flooding the neighboring state and local unemployment shifts the burden of others. This, in their opinion, can not be copied and used in other EU countries.

In addition, the application of the new rules would inevitably lead to a change of the Lisbon Treaty which was ratified with great difficulty a little over a year ago.

However, the global crisis is well shaken Europe, questioning the survival of European unity. Berlin, by all accounts, not giving up on Europe. History of the EU has shown that it is sometimes enough for large steps.

Legalization of chewing coca in the UN

"Coca is the symbol of our culture, our identity and to thousands of years," said President Evo Morales.
 

NEW YORK - The legalization of chewing coca leaves, the plant from which cocaine is produced, Bolivia was launched at the United Nations.

"Chewing coca leaf should no longer be prohibited. And a study of the UN in 1995. was shown that the leaves of the plant has no negative effect. The Andes to be practiced for five thousand years, "said Bolivian President Evo Morales.

The use of coca leaves is prohibited 1961st as part of the agreement the fight against hard drugs: heroin, cocaine and opium. But many Bolivians is to ignore it and ripped it to the leaves to relieve hunger and they believe it was cured of a disease.

In late January, thousands of Indians took to the streets of La Paz, to support the initiative of a president who, before he became head of state, was a farmer and raised this plant.

Amendment to the Convention on the Prohibition of drugs can be adopted just-consensus. It will normally be on the agenda at the United Nations in mid this month at a meeting of the Economic and Social Council of UN in Geneva.

How will end the diplomatic initiative of Bolivia, it is not clear. According to the country's ambassador to the UN Pablo Solon, America, Britain and Sweden have already announced they are against free chewing coca leaves. In contrast, the initiative will be supported by Spain, Egypt, Colombia and Macedonia. Other countries are now publicly declare.

In Washington or accuse Bolivia is the third in the world in the amount of cocaine produced. In La Paz, however, rejected the allegations. Ambassador Solon said that his country is fighting against the conventional drugs.

Chewing leaves of coca in Bolivia is deeply rooted in the culture of local indigenous people, not just in this country but in general in the region of the Andes. It is used for millennia as a mild stimulant and "world" medical plant.

"How is it possible that the coca leaf, the symbol of our identity and the identity of our ancestors, to be denounced," he asks President Morales.

In Bolivia, they say that they are against the production of cocaine. To fit the time this ban, one local company has started production of special soft drink Coca brink ", which is made based on coca leaves. It is hoped that the beverage compete with American "Coca cola", whose composition also confuses many users.

Three years in prison for hiding party financiers

The Serbian government will determine the day after the Bill on the financing of parties that is included in the conditions without which Serbia will not be able to get EU candidate status

Under the new law on party financing, which the Serbian government on Thursday to determine not only the limited contributions of citizens - 20 average salaries, but also provides for stiff penalties for those who conceal the source and amount of funds collected by party - from three months to three years in prison.

The regulation is on the list of ten well-known conditions without which Serbia can not become a candidate member of the European Union, and is to be found before the members.

Djordje Vukovic, CeSID program director and a member of the Working Group for the preparation of this law, the "Politika" said that the Venice Commission and the EU had some comments on a draft law, but their comments that these were not essential. "It was more about clarification, because it is about people who do not know the whole legal system of Serbia," said our source.

The new law, introducing European standards in this area, will be introduced limits to which the citizen of a political party can submit a maximum of 20 average salaries, a company 200th In an election year, and that the elections at all levels, the limit would effectively be double: the citizen will be able to donate 40, 400 salary and the company.

Interestingly, after adoption of this law will not only be liable if the party receives a contribution above the amount of illegal and all donations over a thousand dinars will have to be transferred to the account, but will respond to anyone who gives such a contribution.

Are prescribed and heavy fines, and imprisonment for those who violate its provisions. Vukovic estimates that the planned punishment harsher than the existing ones. Practically, there are three sets of sanctions: penalties, those with abuse of the law and those that include the seizure of funds from public sources.

According to the Draft Law envisages, for example, the sentence of three months to three years in prison for donors and the responsible parties if they conceal the source of funding or the amount of collected funds. A fine of 200,000 to two million dinars will be penalized for example, if a party receives funding for its money from foreign governments, foreign companies and foreigners, anonymous donors ...

In addition to the duty of political parties, the allegations true and obligations of the Anti-corruption that will control the legality of their funding. Therefore, Vukovic thought to be related with the regulation of three key things. First, it is modeled so that solutions match existing practice. Second, the Anti-Corruption enabled the so-called parallel monitoring, and she will, at a time when the party's report, have your system information, and assessment of how determined the party spent in an electoral campaign. Of course, and there will be some discrepancies, but will at least be possible insight on whether the deviation is large or not. "If the agency sees that a party spent two million euros for the campaign and the party says it has spent five hundred thousand, then it will be a signal to check what's wrong here", says Vukovic. The third important thing, according to Vukovic, is that it introduces a whole system of the Agency, which provide numerous opportunities for control of funding.

Begins with a list in the second most populous country in the world

NEW DELHI - In India, the second most populous country in the world, today begins a list of people who will run for three weeks.

Enumerators should in due time to the inhabitants of a country which has 1.17 billion people, ask 29 questions about, among other things, their income, religion, education and access to basic public goods.

Respond to, as reported by the AP, could help authorities to identify areas where there is gross negligence, particularly where poverty is widespread and where many people do not know how to read or does not work.

"This is the second largest population census in the world," he told the press agency Press Trust India's Vice-President Hamid Ansari state, since responded to the survey enumerators.

India would in the population will soon be able to overcome China, most populous country in the world.

Annual population growth rate in India is 1.4 percent, which is much more than China with 1.3 billion people, where the growth rate of 0.49 percent, according to estimates from 2010.

Indian officials believe that the national census, conducted every 10th , the key for the government and the private sector, because they provide the necessary information on which they can establish appropriate policies, run programs and create budgets.

This is the second phase of the list, after last year's first phase in which established a list of the 300 million Indian households, from which the estimated number of 1.17 billion people in India.

The list will be the first time in history, to include all citizens, even prisoners and the homeless.

The list will carry about 2.7 million enumerators, many of whom are teachers.

Officials have warned residents that if they hide some facts or giving false answers to risk a fine of up to 1,000 rupees (about 22 dollars).

India will separate later this year to implement caste list because officials decided that the issue of caste affiliation was too "controversial" for its secular and multicultural democracy, and could jeopardize the results of the census.

Sex-strike until a new government of Belgium

Senator called his wife Marlene Temerman Belgian politicians to deny their husbands sex until they agree to form a governing coalition

Brussels - As Belgium closer to a world record of 249 days without a government, it is more "creative" proposals for the Belgians out of the political stalemate. The latest of these came from Senator Marlene Temerman who called the wife of Belgian politicians who are negotiating to form a government to deny their husbands sex until they agree.

Marlene Temerman, representative of the Flemish Social Democrats in the Belgian Senate, a gynecologist by profession, has attracted huge media attention with his proposal. She said in an interview for "Soar", a leading Belgian daily in French, explained that the idea came in mid-January while he was in Kenya.

"I was in Kenya when our famous actor Benoit Pulvorde appealed Belgians to stop to shave until politicians agree on forming a government. Many compatriots responded with unabashed enthusiasm - yes, we will make it to Belgium. Many Kenyans have confirmed that they would do the same in solidarity. Then one of the women told me that two years ago during the government crisis in Kenya urged wives of politicians to refrain from sex to the formation of coalitions. I succeeded, because after a month received a government. All agreed that this proposal was fun, "she told Temermanova for" Soar ".

It was then something more serious tone explained that her proposal actually contribute to the rich "gallery jokes" about the Belgians.

"I really did not expect such a large response of the public. But it also says that people ask what more could be done to move things forward. As a citizen and representative, I understand the difficulties of the negotiations, but this no longer. Or will you become cynical, or you try to start negotiations with humor, "she said Temermanova.

Some seem to still her proposal seriously. From the opposite corner of the Belgian political scene spoke to Kathrin Fonk, Walloon demohrišćanka and former health minister.

"I do not want to participate in the sex-strike. A politician not to strike. They, on the contrary, it should be to excite the nation, "said Fonko.

In the shadow of this extraordinary political debate advertise the political experts and economists who warn that the budget for 2011. has not yet been adopted, that investment is threatened and that the value of bonds decreases. One of the leading local experts on politics, Professor Pascal Delva said that "the Belgium surrealist country" and explained why proposals such as this one has made Marlene Temerman encounter a wide publicity in Belgium.

"Surrealism is part of our dynamic culture. But most important is that for eight months, we have no government. Inevitably, that as in any other situation, generate such an absurd joke. Sex-strike, it is just an interesting metaphor, and it should remain a metaphor, "said Delva.

He also recalled that the most recent examination of Belgian public opinion has shown that political parties are the least popular institutions and to the popularity of politicians in steady decline. This even applies to local leaders and governments that do not participate in the intricate negotiations to form the federal government.

For the week of Belgium will break the world record of 249 days without a government, who once asked Iraq.

Who forged the mummies

Oval Office at the White House lights up into the night, minute by minute associates of U.S. President bring the latest reports from Cairo, Amman and Sana

   Is it all started because Silvio Berlusconi said that the beautiful Ruby, which is threatening to jail for some petty theft, in fact, a close relative of Egyptian President Hosni Mubaraka.U Egypt are the masses is experienced as a continuation of the President of election fraud in recent elections , steals the president, and stealing and relatives. So the demonstrators immediately rushed to the central Cairo square. Flew the stones, worked clubs, there were dead and wounded. They killed the supporters and opponents of Mubarak. Human tragedy.

Oval Office at the White House lights up into the night, the minute associates of U.S. President bring the latest reports from Cairo, Amman and Sana. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak not to go to the authorities, even when Washington was given several signals that the "transition should begin immediately." This is how I imagine the conversation that lead to President Barack Obama and Secretary of State, Mrs. Clinton.

Obama: What a mess, that there in Cairo imagined that is irreplaceable, not to go. Here, and in Moscow it tacit support, say that no one should interfere in the internal affairs Egipta.Nije not surprising, Hosni many years piloted the "winks". First love never dies. The French and Italians as something he calls for his resignation, but not quite mlako.Sarkozi to forgive me as the French do not give the southern command of NATO. And then, Berlusconi? Dear God, that only deals with minors, who needs enemies when you have allies such as these?

Clinton: Of course, do not care and the French and Italians. Iranian terrorists and the Muslim Brotherhood at the University of Cairo attacks on troops in Iraq and in Saudi Arabia, but our own. I would really like to Tehran we sell several long-range missiles, and to target Iranians in Paris and Rome. And da Silva and Nicholas say, hey that's just business, nothing personal.

Obama: Uh, that would spice up my day. But we can not. What can we do, our whole policy in the Middle East may now fall apart. We do not know, actually, to who is behind these events in Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan and Yemen. Where are our intelligence services, as we are not at the time signaled what would follow.

Clinton: Well, they did some analysis and report these immediately after the last elections in Egypt.

Obama: What is it, we got a report from Cairo intelligence that during a routine inspection conducted criminological techniques and procedures, archaeologists discovered the cocaine and nicotine in their bodies in half a dozen Egyptian mummy of the 21st dinastije.A our botanists have argued that in ancient Egypt, there was no coca or tobacco, the tobacco at the time of Columbus brought to Europe from America, though the South, and the hen in Victorian times. Some are at Princeton University and doctorate in it.

Clinton: Do not talk of counterfeit mummies? Who signed the expertise of the mummies?

Obama: the expertise of a doctor's signature World Balabanova, Russian and Bulgarian, we do not know. It is impossible to counterfeit the mummies, now keep them and the Egyptian soldiers. Maybe protesters want to destroy the mummies, because the pharaohs smoke?

Clinton: Well, um, Russian doctor, however it was Putin's oil, the KGB, the KGB remains. Wherever your turn they give us housing. But, to me some media associate with Berluskonijem.Mislim Putin that both men love the same things. Otherwise, I have read all five volumes of "History of Ramses II", I read the "Black Pharaohs" by Christian Jacques, it's true I Egyptologist, but I have never noticed it on cocci and smoking Pharaoh.

Obama: Come on, we will no longer sacrilegious about these vices in this cabinet, let's see to save what can be saved.

Clinton: Yes finally acquitted of that villain Asanža? All of this fault is that his "Vikiliks.

Obama: What do you mean?

Clinton: Well, for all the wrong website. While we deal with the Arab-Israeli relations, democracy has penetrated through the Internet in Arab society. Internet and globalization have become a weapon in the hands of Arab demokratije.Oko 70 percent Arab population consists of people younger than 30 years and they are amazing speed connected to the Internet. What happened in Tunis could not remain without consequences in Egypt, then on. Even ten years ago, the Jordanians are using their real names, they attacked the Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein, the censorship of the Internet. At the time, Mubarak ordered the censorship, "Cairo Times" in Egypt. But the editors of the newspaper on its website in red letters announced what the government censor, all under the title "Forbidden file, these articles are ejected. And it was the writings about corruption in Egypt. Around the same time, he was arrested and an expert on democratization at the University of Cairo now Edin Ibrahim. On that occasion, a Jordanian columnist Rami Huri accused the Arab countries "that have gone astray in the moral sense of the way, to have willfully and judiciary in the political sphere to apply a firm hand."

Obama: It's all true, but I'm worried about the role of Islam as a guiding light of the poor Arabs. As well as communism once it is transnational ideology, Islam has replaced Marxism. Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Islam, with more than one person. Iranians we are now the most smeju.Kao that now we are paying all the bills for the many wars in the region. But Hillary, let me make us some tea ...
