Politika
Politika (; ) is a Serbian daily newspaper, published in Belgrade. Founded in 1904 by Vladislav F. Ribnikar, it is the oldest daily newspaper still in circulation in the Balkans and is considered by some to be the newspaper of record.
Ever since its launch in January 1904, Politika was published daily, except for several periods:
- Due to World War I, there were no issues from 14 November 1914 to 21 December 1914, and again from 23 September 1915 to 1 December 1919
- Due to World War II, there were no issues from 6 April 1941 to 28 October 1944
- In protest against government's intentions to turn Politika into a state-owned enterprise, a single issue was not published in the summer of 1992
The launch issue had only four pages and a circulation of 2,450 copies, and its record high circulation was the 25 December 1973 issue (634,000 copies).
