it was actually such that they were not satisfied with the performances of the economy so. contrary to the perception soft service. more important quote unquote issues like he'll perspective so serbia or course a war were not in the focus of the complain the economy was and so what were the social factors that led up to his victory would you say the unemployment rate is as high as twenty five percent and this is the most important fact that actually. the majority of. voters so given the environment which is actually globally fair brought to the economic growth actual performance is subservient economy perceived as on statistics by the majority of voters

and that's the outcome what does present mcclish promise to bring to the table under these circumstances. his or tory was concentrated on the economic issues de facilitation of foreign investments improving all of the. investment climate in the country and reduction in the corruption. scale this namely there is a perception among the voters that the corruption still remains a major problem and this is in this by. his supporters was aimed at these issues so majority of voters did accept that and what about relationships with the outside world is it is the new president . a rejection of target rapprochement with the west i wouldn't say so namely the

most important difference between the pre two thousand and eight and two thousand and eight doric of mr recall each is his move towards the political central and positioning of his newly established sabean progressive party as a pro european the one we see across a movement towards the right wing and mr nichols is traditionally a right wing politician is this part of that movement the thing to an extent yes although the clear cut distinctions between a right and left us political arena why aren't are at these really made namely varies a lot or less. populous the rhetorically in some right oriented political

parties and vice versa but generally after four years of predominantly left oriented to government led by two social democratic parties like the democratic party and socialist sparty of serbia. we are having a majority which is explaining its something different and does that make sort of psychologically a part of europe in that it's subject to the same social trends i don't see so yes . there are trends that can be followed throughout the region not just in serbia and i'm content because these developments. policy shift do you expect to see him presently government speak about the policy is i think the economy would be. in focus because as i said that was. the only important topic on the elections

very tough decisions have to be made by the new government. in dept mrs knol high it exceeded forty five percent of the g.d.p. which is set to cheerleading it by the law so there is very small room for additional. independence on the other hand the deficit is running high between four and five percent of g.d.p. and the. rate of growth which is actually just above the zero rate we do not have much room for more nervous but to into a very strict. domain of measures to be implemented in the months to come so in fact it seems as if the rest of europe if you like is moving away slightly from austerity electing governments

who don't support austerity where it's moving towards things where you see how the new government would formulate its policies we also have to see the newly elected french government off the elections in june this year. change course all of the economy it is easy to talk against austerity but to implement an alternative sonorities something different we've told you not about europe but mr nickel it's first visit as president elect was made to russia what should we read into that it is my understanding that mr nikolay in his capacity as the then president of serbian progress who party was invited to the congress of united russia party. or his party's sister party. in russia to return to the congress of that political group so that was

something which was prearranged before the election results and the whole show was the relevant to mr nicolle each is giving it to a different way so. i would like to. get through with russia they are already excellent relations and i think that there is another. additional room for for improving these relations as the diplomats do you think it's possible as president nicholas wishes to be a country with two duals one looking to the east and one of them to the west well yes i have a lot of examples. such boluses some very good friends with russia for instance bulgaria or creation. are members or are becoming members of the u. i don't see why shouldn't serbia. become

a member of the european union provided all the conditional disarm met. in the same time keep. with major economic partner as russia is and you call you with russia or part of the us not before those there are stumbling blocks they want that. big a fully fledged member of the e.u. one of them is possibly nato member state which president mechanix says that he would never take on and they also is the recognition of cost of a. mistake which is already made it clear that if so they have to choose between recognizing calls today on the e.u. that it can forget about the e.u. now there is nothing new in the footing of a show as you cited namely the same formulation as were made by former president so b s the national assembly had adopted five six years ago.

declaring the military neutrality of serbia. within the present constellation is politically determined not to become the member of nato and. constitution plain call civil is the part of the country so no politician. disobey the basic principle is as stated in the constitution of the country he's already broke the base as well hasn't he there were deep sort of undone some of the what was done to restore relations with so obvious neighbor the leaders of croatia slovenia and both they have said they won't come to the inauguration. and it's denied that genocide take a cut in. the lawyer. as told you in my previous life i was a professor or through all so. judgments off a court particular bearing in mind the international court of droughts it's

something that top. per definition. the facts that are established i think that. national parliament adopted two years ago the declaration condemning the crime that happened in srebrenica and that was committed against the most muslims living as it was defined by the international court of justice judgement as president nicholas now rejected that then is that what we should see and that you will have to talk to him. what how the things are now developing but. what i know is that the president also condemned the tragic. serious crime enormous crime committed and we had these that as a mission of the national assembly of serbia what do you think. given the debt

crisis going on in your country but also the crisis going on inside the european union the e.u. has twenty seven member states and twenty eighth he's preparing to end the year two thousand and thirteen i do not know of any that is trying to leave the european union so there are some values that are inherited in the european union. are exceeding the present day problems the problem solve the recession the crisis in the eurozone within three or four years have another set before them send them the recession which is behind us so things are always changing. that geographically politically culturally. as all other countries in the region does belong to

this neighborhood the neighborhood that's integrated the european union you're speaking about the wall we are speaking about the economic. environment that would be. providing incentives for affording direct investments. aimed at increasing the employment in solving the most important of these two off on the moment of thought or dimension if push came to shove which would be the more important relationship to the one with the e.u. or the one with russia well i would again try not to. explain these relations as being contradictory to the contrary i think they represent the complimentary value for the country like. is aimed. towards having the best possible relations with russia while

keeping its european path open the president told that to president putin when he recently paid a visit to or to moscow. thank you very much q. three.

u.n. observers in syria have suspended the exhibit scenes because of the escalating violence meanwhile moscow has denied the pentagon's claims that a russian military cargo ship is carrying weapons and troops just syria. the final round of egypt's presidential election is underway but many are left to disenchanted by the choice before them the run of is between a muslim brotherhood candidate and. the mubarak's last prime minister. and thousands of italians are much against cuts in brain while the euro's fate to hangs in the balance with greeks said to go to the polls to determine the future of the single currency it's a greek exit could spit upon. sports update with enjoy the next he's got more on russia's massive game with greece at the euros.

good evening on a big night of football coming up selection woes russia's influential midfielders erion off is ruled out of tonight's crucial showdown with great at the european championships. while co-hosts poland prepare to face the czech republic in a winner takes all clash and brought stuff. and hello tiger woods proud to share the latest u.s. open operate on win favorites luke donald a marine lacker roy go home early. and under two hours time russia kick off against greece at the european championships knowing a draw would be enough to reach the quarter finals but there has been a late change to russia's midfield after constantine's that a on off was ruled out with the virus and to tell us more. now joins us from warsaw good evening richard let's start with the team usually on of the absence undoubtedly a blow for russia but how do you think that will affect tonight's lineup. lovingly

on screen with very simple it's a new school surkov will come into a side serve a place circumstance in three of course it is a big blow i mean stay on the square that should be very very well the storm and that is part of the triumvirate in midfield becomes one of those uneaten petersburg going on with denise so. moving very impressive so far at all the respect to be principled experienced to the side it's been excellent for the both for the country recently and also huge school the winner against the greeks in two thousand and eight when russia won one nil which helped to put their passage into the knockout stages because it's a more capable midfield it's really improved over the last year or so with his club side like much of moscow he's really box to box midfielder really likes to get forward. excellent shots on him and he rediscover quite a few goals from from midfield from just outside the areas so he rusher won't i don't think. too much. just because of what can bring to passy.

russia do i only need to draw don't know but do you think i will sit back against the greeks because not really a side who are known for their attacking fair are they. now a different oh well it's all russia they cannot sit back but russia's problems will start ever so i do actually try to sit back and defend russia's really mean weak point to say as part of the center of offense was a lack pace. and both half decent players but they just don't have the pace of the sides to be honest and russia's real strength really is of course going forward i mean very dynamic in the field of course everyone knows about the attacking trio of a shot in a cult who i do think will start to spark a fire that he's failed to hit the targets in ten attempts so far up a storm and of course islands of glory of his been fantastic for scoring three goals in two games is really getting a lot of attention from around the world so yes i think russia certainly will look to attack because that's really the only way they can play. it sounds like we can look forward to an exciting game but questions have been raised have my back to the

state of russia's fitness and they fade a little bit towards the end of their game opponent and it does look pretty warm with you this evening. yeah it's a very been a very very hot day here in warsaw by far the hottest day of the tournament so far with the temperature reaching around thirty degrees but says perhaps one of the biggest concerns i said was told by the defense last question but the other concern really is be age of the squad russia have the oldest quarter of the euro two thousand and twelve championships with an average of twenty eight of course are going to fade especially playing such high impact games and such quick succession in russia did seem to fade in the second half against the poles poland really played out of a skins. they were really out of the game for obvious reasons to win but you countries and the rivalry i don't really think the greeks are in the same class as poland i mean poland did show in their first group game against greece and good they are going forward and really the key thing for russia tonight is if they can. a very high tempo like we did against the czech republic but i can't really see

russia having too many problems in qualifying his group winners for the knockout stages ok well we're just looking at pictures while you were talking of fans arriving at the stadium there does seem to be a good atmosphere building there there has been problems we have talked about it during the last two games involving russian fans but what's it like there at the moment. eleven of a stadium for the last couple of hours had a walk around the stadium just outside the stadium and to be honest i mean the scenes of really really good atmosphere i mean a lot of fans. not too many greek fans but it's a lot of russian fans being sitting in the bars having a good time so i haven't seen any sign of trouble we're going to have been in the city center for the last couple of hours but i haven't had too many reports. on the internets or from colleagues about any trouble happening. hopefully it will stay this way i can guarantee you that sort of i think a lot depends on what happens in the games this afternoon obvious evening russia and poland can get both good results may once then hopefully shouldn't be too much

trouble but if one of the sides doesn't perhaps get resolved i think we could unfortunately have trouble in the evening explode and of course the really rich to beat the czech republic in order to progress russia's task obviously a little simpler they only need a draw but of course the bail be wanted to get that all important victory which make sure that they finish top of the group they say in warsaw and void a potential quarter final clash with germany. thanks very much for let us take your seat at the national stadium fingers crossed will be a great night for everyone. speaking from warsaw there now let's take a quick look at greece who are in the last chance saloon i have picked up just a point from their opening two games in the bottom of group pay but they still cling to hope of staying in this tournament and even a one zero win for them over russia this evening could see the progress of poland the czech republic draw and the other game in the group so that should make for a good game of football because they know they will have to attack. first of all

to reach the maximum of the group of course is not a matter of who scores more than it is up to the team the whole team has to win so all the players have to be focused on our objective of this which is to win. have a look at the great pressure on top at the moment the four points but not home and dry yet every taint. still has a chance of making the last eight for the quarter final place guarantee to the winner of the second game between co-host poland and the czech republic will poland have a whole host of injury worries ahead of the defender. along with midfielders that. polanski picked up injuries against russia so they'll be given a late fitness test but polanski made it quite clear to reporters what the team's intentions are and we committed to. the permutation of what could happen in the group are not good for us to be thinking about we're here to keep every team's backside i'm sorry for this expression but that is a really mind set of the tournament put on the. now the czech republic are sweating

over the availability of their midfield playmaker thomas was it's k.v. thirty one year old will have a late fitness test too while there's better news for goalkeeper petit czech who is expected to start despite doing only light training yesterday coach mccall billick meanwhile to back the team after giving striker. some stick. i have been very happy with the tournament conditions so far in poland birch and the criticism he has been receiving for perhaps not playing as well as some expected does not concern us i hope our fans will support us as a team not as individuals remain a team. that one team going no further in the torn into sweden they were knocked out after losing three two to england in kiev last night they were full strike andy carroll has put even one miller up with a thumping first half had a bit just after the break sweden levelled through a glen johnson own goal and then went in front thanked him all of mellberg however super sub theo walcott then hid in equaliser from the edge of the box before

crossing the danny welbeck swimmer a rollercoaster ride then for the english that ended in delight for their fans. to its very best games are far too hard on real. still good to go murder it is a very good result a very good game of football but england deserved to win three today a. very diverse school. and this is what it means three thirty eight means are on four points along with france who lead the way after beating ukraine to neil on friday i'm watching that one force with kate partridge. ukraine nil front while a victory for the take back the ukraine side play with its resigned champions would have seen them guys through to the quarter finals on their european debut after coming back to beat sweden two one in game one but after four minutes the heavens opened torrential rain in donetsk tearing the entire stadium apart from a few hardy souls for the best part of an hour and when the players did away

a match it was a first off a few chances but the second half was a lot livelier talismanic kept it under a chip janko went on i'm a zero on the left hand side me ukraine will be fired over the bar that was the cue that for the french to show their class and just why they're on be going to matches some fantastic midfield play fantasy to very many on the right side of me made my mistakes firing like pass the keeper on the left hand side managed to miss later on fifty five minutes the french made it to no similar build up by this time karim benzema with the lethal final pass by the young of light he made no mistake to know that as i said it. make a mistake you endeavored to hit the post or what i wanted to keep you right couldn't find a way back and so you know was how it finished france on the beach no twenty three matches now winds well you right now three points in green bay so looking very tight. and finally away from the football tiger woods will start his penultimate

round at the us open in a three way tie for the lead he's joined at the top of the leaderboard at the moment by fellow americans jim furyk and david toms are the trio enjoy a two shot laid there and tiger will be i mean for more of the same club in san francisco the former world number one in the third hole during day two and although three straight bogeys from the fifth entities challenge massively the fourteen time major winner was able to recover hitting two more birdies on the back nine to card a par seventy and move into a joint two stroke lead with countryman jim furyk and david toms world number one luke donald and defending champions rory mcilroy who play no further part by after missing the cut. just couldn't get a feel for the greens to read speed. and you know if i put a little better yes you know kind of ground score today you know maybe been. somewhere decently placed the weekend but it wasn't to be and try and learn from it and come back stronger next time you know what i'm just trying to see the pauses

and you know. i do see positives i see that i'm getting a good shot so i'm giving myself chances and you know feel like i had some good parts are just going to win. you know hopefully all of a sudden it all turn and you know. play a player gets very matter play a couple good runs and that's all the sport we've got time for for the moment we've got the weather coming up.
