It is the latest in a growing series of Serbian print media publications that came into existence due to a group of journalists leaving their previous place of employment "en masse" to start a new paper. This is how "
Vreme " weekly was started in1990 , "Nasa borba " in1994 , and "Glas javnosti " in1998 .In this latest case the majority of "Press" staffers including editor-in-chief
Đoko Kesić and his deputyDragan J. Vučićević worked at "Kurir " from its inception in May 2003 until early December 2005. At that time a disupte over revenue sharing came to a head, resulting in about 90% of "Kurir "'s staff leaving the paper. Public accusations of corruption and political skulduggery started flying thick and fast between "Kurir " ownerRadisav Rodić on one side and Kesić-Vučićević editing duo on the other. During mid December 2005, Vučićević and newly named "Kurir " editor-in-chiefAntonije Kovačević even publicly squared off in an impromptu TV duel onBKTV 's talk-show "Klopka" hosted byOlivera Kovačević (no relation to Antonije Kovačević), but apart from a lot of shouting and theatrical rhetoric not many concrete facts were established.Led by Kesić and Vučićević, the group that left "
Kurir " announced plans of starting their own daily tabloid named "Dnevni kurir", however, "Kurir" owner Rodić immediately filed a complaint with Trade Court, protesting copyright infringement. The court agreed with him and issued an immediate junction prohibiting publication under that name. Though they felt "Kurir" became what it is in large part due to their own efforts and skills, Kesić & Vučićević decided not to pursue the matter further legally and ended the issue by naming their new tabloid "Press", instead.Its premiere issue came out on
December 15 ,2005 .External links
