Serbian Paper Publishes Poster in Support of Mladić
National Bank of Australia Customers Phished from Sarajevo Airport
Ireland Hints at Restrictions on Immigrants from Bulgaria
I've thought that the E.U. was a silly fad anyway for some time, this sort of thing only makes it look silier. What good is it to be part of an international organization which restricts immigration in this fashion? Another thing, tight immigration hurts people when there is a crisis where they live. The difficulties people faced in leaving was a death sentance for many in many eras. It can be a form of complicity. I am not alone refering to Europe, the same thing is true in North and South America.
Over the weekend there were strong rumors that Osama bin-Ladin died of some waterborne illness back in August.
He is rumored to have had kidney disease for years too, if he had a waterborne illness that would be more dangerous for him than for the average person if the other strong rumor is so.
NOTE I mention this clearly as being a rumor.
It is not unheard of for certain governments to start these rumors in an effort for him to make a new video and prove he's still alive.

Maybe you or Bg_Anon knows the answer to this, but where does Glas fit on the political and popularity spector of Serbian media?
I'm guessing (considering) that they published posters of Mladic that they are fairly extreme.
How popular is the magazine?
If the magazine is not one of the most extreme magazines, but they are still publishing posters of Mladic (collectors items I guess ;-) ) than, that is a good sign that the mood in the country is shifting more towards the nationalists.
However, if the magazine is one of the most extreme magainzes to begin with, than the fact that they published a poster of Mladic gives no way to gage the feelings of the Serb population as a whole.
Re: bin Laden. While it is quite possible that he is dead, especially considering poor living conditions, and poor health, I wouldn't be suprised if in a month or so we see another bin Laden tape.

I'm not sure where Glas is on the political spectrum, I'd suggest that bg_anon or estavisti or Gordy over at East Ethnia would be more knowlegeable on that question.
I think the whole 'rumor' is intended to get bin-Ladin to check in with another tape. He's a fairly tough guy despite his poor health, his idea of fun is falconry.
