...once multi-ethnic Sarajevo, a decree by Bosniak officials introducing compulsory lessons in the Koran to kindergarteners prompted remaining Serbs and Croats to pull their children out of school. "Instead of showing some statesmanship, Bosnian political leaders are practicing petty politics", complains the current OHR chief, Slovakian diplomat Miroslav Lajcak...
...Czech magazine Respekt and by the country's Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes, a state-funded historical archive and research body. The magazine and the historical institute published a contemporary police document that names Kundera as the man who had informed police about the whereabouts of Miroslav Dvoracek, a former military pilot who had fled to what was then West Germany in 1949. Dvoracek signed up with a Western intelligence agency and returned undercover in 1950. Kundera, who had not spoken to the press for decades, broke that silence this week to deny the allegation, insisting he never...
...progressed, it never seemed threatening, aside from a couple of Hitzlsperger rockets that flared wide. But Turkey was tiring, backing up, and in Rüstü, the second-choice keeper, the net was vulnerable.

Ronaldo was still to be heard from, but Germany never figured...
...Turks could do it, why not the co-host Austrians? One reason is that the Turks showed up to play. Not the Austrians. Germany almost put the game away in the opening minutes when Miroslav Klose walked in on goal and delivered a cross to Mario Gomez three yards in front. As Gomez swung his foot forward to score the sitter, the ball took a hop and he chipped it straight up in the air. It was comically bad finishing, and the kind of break that makes you think that things weren't going to go right for Germany. Austria...
