Ownership
Blic, founded in 1996 as a daily newspaper (and now a major news website), is ultimately owned by the Swiss-German publisher Ringier Axel Springer Media AG. After early Austrian owners sold it to Germany's Gruner + Jahr (Bertelsmann) in 2000, Ringier acquired it in 2004; in 2010 it came under the Ringier Axel Springer joint venture, and from 2021-2022 Ringier AG bought out Axel Springer's Central/Eastern European stakes, making Ringier the controlling parent.
Funding
Blic is financed commercially through advertising and digital/print sales, operated by the Serbian subsidiary of the Ringier media group; it is not state- or party-subsidised.
Affiliation & stance
Blic is a privately owned, mass-market commercial outlet with no party or state ownership, controlled by a Western European publishing group. Because it is foreign-owned commercial media without government or political-party control, it is classified INDEPENDENT, though its tone is broadly mainstream/centrist.

In 15 regions of Russia, restrictions on the sale of fuel were introduced for 24 hours
At least 15 regions in Russia implemented fuel sales restrictions on June 23 due to a fuel shortage caused by attacks on oil refining facilities by Ukrainian drones. The restrictions include limiting fuel purchases to specific volumes per person and banning refueling into cans. These measures were introduced in major regions such as Khanty-Mansiysk, Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Tyumen, Novosibirsk, Saratov, Penza, Omsk, Voronezh, Murmansk, and Krasnoyarsk. Authorities cited the need to prevent artificial shortages and excessive demand. In Irkutsk Oblast, some gas stations imposed limits while others stopped operating entirely. Governor Igor Kobzev initially linked the fuel shortage to drone strikes but later removed this statement. In Vladimir Oblast, residents were urged to reduce car travel, and in North Ossetia, authorities ordered the creation of an emergency fuel reserve. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak described the situation as 'not simple but controlled,' attributing regional restrictions to temporary logistical issues. Fuel sales have effectively halted in Crimea after an attack on a logistics hub in the Kerch Strait, with the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service also禁止

The article recounts the story of Julija Agranovič, a former Russian model turned pediatric dentist, who discovered her husband's affair through an Instagram photo posted by a woman named Vlada Abramovič.

Police denied that there had been an incident at Music Week: "There was panic, there was no stabbing"
The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) and Emergency Services denied reports circulating on social media that there was an incident at the closing night of the Belgrade Music Week festival at Ušće last night, where multiple people were injured. According to MUP, a rumor spread that several individuals had been stabbed with a knife, causing panic, but no stabbing occurred.

When asked about a video from social media showing police officers leading someone away, MUP explained it was a response to some individuals due to bad behavior. Emergency Services confirmed they did not have any interventions at the location. Earlier, Belgrade Music Week issued a statement saying false and unverified information caused public concern among those in the front rows.

It clarified that the video circulating online showed a routine and timely action by the responsible authorities against an individual due to a

A member of the OVK arrested at the Mutivode crossing
The article reports on the arrest of Osman Selmani, a 73-year-old Kosovo citizen, by Serbian police at the administrative border crossing of Mutivode. He is suspected of committing a war crime against civilians during the 1999 NATO bombing campaign in Pristina, specifically the brutal murder of a Serbian couple, Stanisavljević Vladimir and Persa. The Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs released an official statement confirming the arrest and stated that Selmani was detained for up to 48 hours before being transferred to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for War Crimes and subsequently placed under house arrest for 30 days by the Higher Court in Belgrade. The family of Selmani has categorically denied all allegations, calling them baseless and untrue, while local Albanian media have reported that neither the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor the diaspora ministry in Pristina has issued any formal response. This incident is part of a broader pattern of arrests of Kosovo citizens by Serbian authorities over the past few years, based on suspicions of involvement in war crimes committed during the 1998–1999 conflict.

A city in ruins after a massive Russian attack, searching for survivors!
The article reports on a mass attack by Russian forces on Kyiv on July 2nd, resulting in at least 30 civilian casualties and over 100 injuries. Ukrainian authorities confirmed damage to more than 20 residential buildings and around 100 homes due to shelling. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russia used nearly 500 drones and over 70 ballistic missiles during the assault. The search for victims continues in the Darnytsky district, with fears that the death toll could rise further. Meanwhile, Russian state media claimed the attacks targeted military industry and energy infrastructure in Kyiv and surrounding areas as retaliation for Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. Ukrainian forces reportedly damaged a 'Lukoil' oil refinery in Kstov and a complex managing Russian drones in the Kherson region. Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has called on nearly 40 partner countries to urgently supply Patriot anti-air missile systems, citing a critical shortage as a major defense challenge.
In the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions have set in, researchers say.
The article reports that researchers from New Zealand’s Earth Sciences organization (ESNZ) have identified conditions consistent with the El Niño climate phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. They warn that impacts on New Zealand’s weather are likely to intensify over the coming months. The ESNZ joined other organizations in Australia, Japan, and the U.S. in confirming the development of El Niño, which is expected to reach strong intensity between July and September. The effects are projected to peak during the Southern Hemisphere summer, spanning late 2023 into early 2024. According to lead researcher Chris Brandolini, this El Niño event is at least comparable in strength to five of the strongest recorded El Niños in modern history. The article outlines regional rainfall expectations, noting potential below-average precipitation in some areas and above-normal levels in others. It also mentions possible temperature fluctuations and increased wind variability later in the year. Additionally, it notes two lower-probability risks: sudden stratospheric warming and the occurrence of a tropical cyclone outside the typical season, both historically linked to El Niño. Brandolini connects the
