Singer sues Kurir

ZAGREB, June 7, 2004 – An agent representing Croatian singer Severina Vuckovic has told Beta news agency that he will press charges against the Serbian tabloid Kurir. The charges will allege that the daily published pictures from a stolen private videotape with erotic content. Lawyer Anto Nobilo said that, through Belgrade lawyer Igor Pantelic, he would press charges against Kurir, which published a collection of photographs from the controversial tape. Nobilo also warned that similar action would be taken against any other media company which attempted to commercially exploit the private recording belonging to Vuckovic. He explained that his office, through lawyers in Slovenia and Serbia-Montenegro which the tape had already reached, had already laid the ground to bring charges against a number of television stations in Slovenia and several newspapers which had published content from the controversial tape. The tape in question is a private video recording of Vuckovic engaging in sexual intercourse with her former partner, Milan Lucic. The singer claims the tape was stolen two years ago, together with a video camera, from her private apartment.
