SAO PAULO, Brazil -- FIFA member countries have thrown out proposals to introduce age and term limits for football officials.

FIFAs anti-corruption advisers as an essential step to change the scandal-hit
governing bodys culture. FIFAs 209 countries voted down separate proposals in
principle on Wednesday, at public ballots during their congress. Term limits had
seemed more likely to win approval. FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who is 78, had
widely campaigned against age limits as a form of discrimination. He is expected
to seek a fifth straight term, although a vote in favour Wednesday would not
have affected FIFAs presidential election next May.

match-winning aces on the tennis court, but now he has fired a major one in the
flood-hit Balkans. The worlds No. 2 tennis player has achieved what no
politician has managed since the bloody Balkan wars in the 1990s: to at least
temporarily reunite former bitter wartime foes as they jointly struggle against
the regions worst flooding in more than a century. Djokovic has sparked
worldwide financial and media support for victims of the massive river water
surge that has killed at least 45 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless
in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia. The Serb has in the past triggered fury in the
other former Yugoslav republics for what people considered nationalistic
gestures, such as celebrating his victories with a three-finger victory sign
that was used by Serb soldiers during their wartime campaigns in Croatia and
Bosnia. What has set Djokovics flood salvage campaign apart is that he didnt
just seek international support for Serbia. He also did it for Bosnia and
Croatia which were at war with Serbia. All three states are still harbouring a
deep mutual hatred and distrust, 20 years after the wars ended and the former
Yugoslavia split up into seven different countries. "My heart is breaking when I
see that so many people were evacuated and endangered in Bosnia! More than
950,000!!! Hold on brothers ... help will come from the world," Djokovic wrote
on Twitter. "I also see that the east of Croatia is hit by floods ... I
sincerely hope that it will not hit you like Serbia and Bosnia. Keep safe."
"Long live the people of former Yugoslavia. Let God be with you," he wrote,
adding a map of the former Yugoslavia with the flags of now different countries.
The floods have triggered unprecedented regional solidarity in the Balkans, with
the former Yugoslav countries sending rescue teams and humanitarian aid to each
other over their borders.

of the Masters tournament in Rome on Sunday, Djokovic donated all the prize
money -- about $500,000 -- to the flood victims. His charity foundation
collected another $600,000. "There have not been floods like this in the
existence of our people," Djokovic said. "It is a total catastrophe of biblical
proportions. I dont really know how to describe it." Djokovics gestures
triggered mostly positive public support in both Croatia and Bosnia. "Im not
Djokovics supporter or like tennis," said Davor Buric, a university student in
Zagreb, Croatian capital. "It is nice that he mentioned not only Serbia, but
also Croatia and Bosnia. Djokovic has nothing to do with the war, and I have
never heard him saying anything against other nationalities." In Bosnia,
national football team coach Safet Susic said Djokovic had won "the support of
the whole of Bosnia" with his campaign, and promised to support him in the
upcoming Grand Slam tournaments -- the French Open and Wimbledon. Djokovic
replied by saying he will support Bosnia at the World Cup in Brazil. Such
sentiments in Bosnia and Croatia have prompted some commentators to nickname him
"Marshal Djokovic" after Marshal Josip Broz Tito, the post World War II Yugoslav
communist leader who managed to keep Yugoslavia united with iron fist. With his
death in 1980, the country started unraveling along ethnic lines. "This water
... has destroyed what we have been building for the past 20 years," wrote
prominent Croatian columnist and writer Vedrana Rudan in an ironic commentary on
her web page. "Djokovic has sketched the map of Yugoslavia, he greets both our
and his people ... the slaughter has separated us, the drowning has reunited
us."
