Ownership
Kurir is a Serbian tabloid daily founded in 2003 by Radisav Rodić; it was later run by his son Aleksandar Rodić. Since December 2018 it has been part of Adria Media Group, formally owned by Igor Žeželj, a businessman widely linked by media watchdogs to the state-owned operator Telekom Srbija, whose involvement is seen as a vehicle for state influence over the title.
Funding
Financed through advertising and print/online sales, but operating within a group whose ownership is tied to state-linked telecom interests; analysts cite indirect state and pro-government financial support.
Affiliation & stance
Kurir is classified DEPENDENT: under Žeželj/Adria Media Group it shows a pronounced pro-government bias, consistently favoring President Aleksandar Vučić and the ruling SNS while attacking the opposition, and EU and watchdog reports accuse it of state-aligned disinformation. Its ownership chain ties it to state-controlled Telekom Srbija, undermining editorial independence.

ĐOKOVIĆ SE MUČIO ALI PRAŽAO DALJE: The great battle between the Serbs and the French at Wimbledon
In the third round of Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic faced Arthur Rinderknech. The match was closely contested, with Djokovic ultimately winning 3:1 in sets (5:7, 4:6, 6:1, 6:7 (7)). Djokovic displayed moments of both strong and inconsistent play but managed to avoid an upset by maintaining his quality throughout the match. In the first set, he broke Rinderknech's serve in the fifth game but failed to hold his advantage in the sixth, allowing the French player to level the score. The second set saw Djokovic reach a break point in the third game but fail to capitalize on two set points in the 11th game. However, he held his serve in the next game to take the set. In the third set, Rinderknech dominated early, breaking Djokovic's serve twice and taking the set 6:1. Djokovic struggled in this set, scoring only nine points. The fourth set was highly competitive, with both players trading breaks and holding serves under pressure. Rinderknech served for the match at 5:4 but failed to convert, leading to a tie-break where Djokovic eventually won 7:5.
An American gets the maximum amount of recovery time at Wimbledon.
The article discusses the scheduling of the first-round doubles match at Wimbledon involving American tennis player Serena Williams and her sister Venus Williams against the Argentine-Colombian pair Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio. The match was initially scheduled for Thursday and Friday but has been postponed due to Serena's injury during her singles match. Tournament organizer Andy Murray (likely a misstatement, as Andy Murray is a British player, and the correct name might be someone like Ashley Barker or another official) stated they are giving Serena as much time as possible to recover. They ruled out postponing the match to later dates unless necessary for safety or tournament flow. The match is expected to take place on a larger court to accommodate the large crowd attracted by Serena and Venus, who are major stars. Serena returned to professional tennis after four years, but she lost her first singles match and injured her knee. She did not attend a press conference afterward due to health reasons and expressed her commitment to participating in the doubles event. Serena and Venus have won six doubles titles together, including a title in 2016.

The article discusses common mistakes in cooking pasta, particularly focusing on salt usage, water quantity, and cooking time. It highlights that improper salting, incorrect water volume, and overcooking are frequent errors. Chef Lorenzo Boni provides tips to avoid these issues, emphasizing that salt should be added to boiling water just before adding the pasta to prevent over-salting. He recommends using approximately four teaspoons of salt per 3.8 liters of water for a standard portion.

Boni stresses the importance of salt in achieving the perfect 'al dente' texture and preventing pasta from sticking together.

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.

GREAT PLAN NATO Hundreds of billions of euros to arm and train the Ukrainian military
At a NATO summit in Ankara, allies have pledged billions of euros in military aid to Ukraine, according to reports from the German news agency DPA. The plan involves allocating 70 billion euros annually over the next two years—totaling 140 billion euros—for arming and training Ukrainian forces. This includes a 60 billion euro loan from the European Union for 2026 and 2027, meaning member states must cover 40 billion euros yearly from their national budgets. The United States has reduced its financial support under former President Donald Trump, leading to greater contributions expected from European members and Canada. Germany has already announced plans to provide 11.5 billion euros in assistance for 2026. NATO has been supporting Kyiv through the Ukraine’s Prioritized Needs List (PURL) program, where the U.S. sells weapons and ammunition to European allies and Canada, who then forward them to Ukraine.
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
