Žanka Stokić Award
The Žanka Stokić ( sr-cyr, Жанка Стокић) is the distinguished award for acting in Serbian theater. It is awarded only to actresses.

Danas (newspaper)
''Danas'' (, Serbo-Croatian for "today") is a United Group-owned daily newspaper of record published in Belgrade, Serbia. It is a left-oriented media, promoting social-democracy and European Union integration. It is a vocal media supporter of Serbian NGO activities towards human rights and minorities protection. History The first issue of ''Danas'' appeared on 9 June 1997. It was established in 1997 after a group of discontented journalists from the ''Naša borba'' newspaper walked out after getting into a conflict with the paper's new private majority owner. Right from the start the paper employed a strong independent editorial policy with respect to Milošević's regime. Because of open reporting and uncensored coverage on issues and events plaguing Yugoslav and Serbian society in the late 1990s, the paper often found itself targeted by Serbian authorities. ''Danas'' was one of the three newspapers (''Dnevni telegraf'' and ''Naša borba'' being the other two) to be banned by g ...
