    The morning pass added five cards. From N1 and 021, the issue now includes the Sremski Karlovci story in which inspectors blocked an outdoor screening of 'Tour to Strasbourg' but the showing still went ahead indoors; from N1 and Danas, Minister Boris Bratina's visit to Tehran for Ali Hamnei's funeral and the SSP backlash; from BVK and Danas, a broad Belgrade water notice for July 7 covering outages in Rakovica, Senjak, parts of Cukarica, Barajevo, Ripanj, and Tresnja plus low pressure on upper floors in several municipalities; from Danas/Putevi Srbije, a reduction to one lane on the A1 between Velika Plana and Pozarevac on July 6 from 09:00 to 14:00; and from N1, the July 5 forecast with highs of 26-29 C, sunshine, and possible brief mountain rain. N1, Danas, Kurir, Novosti, Google Trends RSS, Beoinfo, GSP, Parking servis, BVK, 021, and the Novi Sad city portal were checked; trends such as `парада`, `paraguay vs france`, `дете`, `инспектор`, `канада – мароко`, and related world-only topics did not produce new cards because they were out of scope, while the in-scope trend `крагујевац` did not yield a stronger new story in the baseline source set. A late mutable check confirmed that the 021 Sremski Karlovci article stayed on the same final/canonical URL with the current title "Zbor Sremskih Karlovaca: Zabranjena projekcija filma \"Tura do Strazbura\" u centru Karlovaca" and modifiedAt 2026-07-04T21:36:07+02:00; the N1, BVK, and Danas URLs used in the issue also remained without redirects.

N1 reports that Serbia's Information and Telecommunications Minister Boris Bratina arrived in Tehran on Friday, July 4 to attend the funeral of Iran's supreme leader Ali Hamnei; he was met at the airport by deputy minister Mohamed Hafez Hakami, and talks on bilateral ICT cooperation are part of the visit. Danas adds the SSP reaction: Branko Miljus asks whether Aleksandar Vucic informed the U.S. administration and whether the trip signals Belgrade's continued refusal to align foreign policy with the EU.
