Blic (Serbian Cyrillic: Блиц) is a daily middle-market tabloid newspaper in Serbia. Founded in 1996, Blic is currently owned by the Ringier media corporation from Switzerland.
Ringier owns and operates Blic through its local subsidiary, Ringier d.o.o. (formerly Blic Press d.o.o.) a limited liability company. The current CEO of is Jelena Drakulić.
Vienna Capital Partners (VCP) previously had a stake in the company.
Blic has since its founding expanded to publish several newspapers. These are Blic-Europa (discontinued May 31, 2006), Blic Žena, Blic Puls, Euro Blic (the issue for Republika Srpska) and variously themed supplements to Blic newspapers.
The newspaper was founded in 1996 by a group of Austria-based businessmen that included Peter Kelbel and Aleksandar Lupšić, who simultaneously bought Bratislava's Nový čas though the original newspaper had been started a year before (in 1995) and had drawn some journalists who had previously been working for Borba and Nasa Borba. At the time of his investment in Blic, Lupšić had strong ties to Milošević's wife Mira Marković and her party Yugoslav Left (JUL). The first issue of Blic appeared on September 16, 1996 thus becoming the 10th daily newspaper to be published in FR Yugoslavia at the time (the other nine being Politika, Borba, Dnevnik, Pobjeda, Narodne novine, Večernje novosti, Politika ekspres, Naša borba, and Dnevni telegraf).
Rubber band, you're like a rubber band-
You keep on snapping back at me,
so this is jealousy.
Hollow vase, you are a hollow vase,
and when you talk to yourself
you hear an answer back.
What type of world are you living in?
What type of sweet thing
would make the medicine better?
What type of world are you waiting for?
You give me one of those headaches
one drink won't take away.
Learning how to hate.
Rumour true, rumour false-
It's all the same to you
on cloud cockoo.
And every mistake that I've ever made
comes back to haunt me,
my own fools gallery.
What type of world are you living in?
What type of sweet thing
would make the medicine better?
What kind of world are you waiting for?
You give me one of those headaches
one drink won't take away.
Learning how to hate.
Our clam chowder comes without the powder-
It doesn't happen here,
this is a nice place.
