Extraordinary parliamentary elections

Demand for early elections: "Coward!"

Students challenge Vučić to stand on their side in the elections and call him a coward. The government is running away from the elections for the first time, but so is a part of the opposition that is not happy with the student conditions

Two gatherings in Niš

Showdown: A day of high risk in Nis

On one square in Niš, a rally by Aleksandar Vučić, on another, a gathering of students in a blockade. A close encounter between supporters of progressive and different Serbia is inevitable

Comment

A joke from the state

RTS is blocked, universities do not work, and threats, insults and calls to the prosecutor's office and the police to arrest blockers, rioters and terrorists are pouring out from the top of the government. The Serbian state has turned into a farce

"We will not give up Serbia"

A triumph of will in the Serbian way

The three-day parliament for the promotion of Aleksandar Vučić and his Movement for the People and the State was realistically a fiasco. But it was first of all conceived as a media spectacle for regime television directed by court promoter Željko "DJ Žeks" Mitrović, with scenography and iconography adapted to the Serbian political market.

Beograd

"We will not give Serbia": Fair, fair, great fair

Burgers, kebabs, cheese and cream, folk melos blaring, a crowd of Serbian tricolors wafting in the smoke of the barbecue. The three-day fair patriotism in Belgrade directed by Aleksandar Vučić under the title "We will not give Serbia" should show who is still the great, beloved leader and announce the end of the "several months of terror"

Comment

He sewed it for him, Djuro.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced the new prime minister. Prof. dr. Đuro Matsut will, however, be the Prime Minister, just as much as prof. Dr. Zoran Radojicic was the mayor of Belgrade

Protests and blockades

Belgrade students in blockade: The regime calls for violence

Students in the blockade claim that their demands have not been met, the authorities have. The students do not want to give up the fight, the government is doing everything in order not to suppress the rebellion that has spread to the whole society. Students say that the government is increasing the level of violence

March Fifteen: Five Conclusions

All those who lied all day long on the regime televisions that the "colored revolution failed" know very well what happened on Saturday, March 15, in Belgrade: they were given a warning before being expelled

Comment

Whose is bigger?

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, challenged students and citizens to meet him on March 15 in Belgrade - if they dare. The decision on Andrić's wreath has been made: there is no more foiling that the top regime is tolerant, the hard game of repression begins

Analyze

What will happen on March 15th?

Expectations were created among the rebel students and citizens that March 15 could be the beginning of the end of the progressive government. On the other hand, Aleksandar Vučić talks about the end of the beginning of the "illegal" protests and the "colored revolution". Is Saturday really "D-Day", as the regime media presents it? What are students planning, and what are progressive strategists planning?

Students, people and government

What should be done and who should do it

Where is Serbia headed? What is the way out of this crisis? What should happen for the prosecution to question Aleksandar Vučić, who publicly claimed to know who committed the criminal act of illegal demolition in Hercegovačka Street and thus committed the criminal act of concealing the perpetrator of the criminal act? In other words: how much pressure in society would have to increase for this government to agree to the rule of law, which would mean its disempowerment

Student protests

Vučić, Vučević and Brnabić: All requests fulfilled, let's talk

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said that absolutely all possible and impossible demands of the students have been met, so they can return to their desks and continue studying. Both Prime Minister Miloš Vučević and Speaker of the National Assembly Ana Brnabić spoke very briefly in this sense

Germany

Wind of change

The elections for the Federal Parliament are scheduled for February 23, 2025. The question of all questions is how the radical right-wing Alternative for Germany will fare, because its strength will show to what extent the values ​​of liberal democracy have been distorted in Europe's strongest economy.
