Vreme (Serbian for 'Time') is a weekly news magazine based in Belgrade, Serbia.

History

In 1990, dissatisfied with the media climate in

1990 general election in SR Serbia as the entire country of SFR Yugoslavia was transforming its governance from a one-party system under the Yugoslav Communist League
(SKJ) to a multi-party one.

Most of Vreme's original staff were journalists from

Yugoslav wars.[2][3] During Slobodan Milošević's reign, Vreme was one of a handful of independent Serbian media outlets which resisted his influence and control and tried to counterbalance nationalist rhetoric.[4] In May 1992, it published articles on the destruction of cities in Bosnia and Croatia, and in November 1992 described attacks on cultural heritage sites (by both Serb and non-Serb forces).[5] Its design is modeled after its U.S. counterparts Time and Newsweek.[6]

In 1993, 30,000 copies were produced weekly with a quarter of its sales abroad. Vreme has established a reputation as one of the most reliable media sources of the former Yugoslavia and its writers have been largely cited by international media.[2][7]

Vreme has started a number of supplements such as Vreme novca (Time of Money), Vreme zabave (Time for Fun), and has become a publishing house. The newspaper has an international edition called Vreme International, which is mainly targeted at the Serbian diaspora in Europe.[citation needed]
