Fire near Ćaciland

Comment

What happened in Cacileland?

The burning question is not why the tent in Ćaciland caught fire, but what the tent settlement has been asking for in front of the National Assembly for half a year now.

Military parade: How the "Vremena" journalist became an "enemy of the state"

The "Vremena" journalist, who has been following the army for thirty years, was not granted accreditation for the "Strength of Unity" military parade. But that's why repeatedly convicted criminals, war profiteers and deserters, murderers, retired officers who have never seen battlefields, self-styled military analysts and similar phenomena received formal invitations.

Propaganda myth about the armed forces of Serbia

An army for parading and throwing people's money

The Serbian Army does not have the capacity to hold a parade like the former JNA, which in 1985 had more than 300.000 members, and at the last parade on May 9 of that year, it directly led 6.690 of them. Plus supporting services, of which there were more than 4.000. At that parade, there were combat equipment that will be shown even now, 40 years later. These are M-84 tanks, Gazelle helicopters, Eagle and Super Galeb G-4 planes, armored personnel carriers and trucks. Now they will all be presented as "modernized wonders" even though their resources have long since run out

Attachment for biography: Spasoje Vulević, replaced commander of SAJ

A police officer of integrity

The manhunt against Vulevic started at the beginning of the year through obscure state tabloids, and was continued by Aleksandar Vučić. Referring to the writing of the obscure "Tabloid" newspaper - which he publicly calls out at every opportunity - the President of Serbia said on "Prva" television that "he is not even afraid of those generals in the police who liquidated the leaders of the Zemun criminal clan, Dušan Spasojević and Mile Luković, and who are 'secretly meeting' with Dragan Bjelogrić". What kind of secret meetings were those when it is known that Bjelogrlić and Vulević are wedding best men

Culture of Memory: “Cobras”

Learning on the go

Although the formation was supposed to be 13, there were only 10, Dragoljub Jevđović, the commander of the special platoon that included the anti-terrorist department, told "Vreme". That's how "Cobras" were born in 1978

Culture of memory: 30 years since the fall of Krajina

My last day in Knin

I turned on the radio, some Croatian station - Franjo Tuđman was just sending a message to the Serbs to stay in their houses, because the action "Storm" had started. At that moment, it was 5:02 a.m. on August 4, the cannonade started and the electricity went out, so I didn't listen to Tudjman's message to the end. A strong explosion resounded nearby – lying on the floor, I saw through the window that the building in the neighborhood known as S-13, the tallest in Knin, had been hit. There was not a single military facility anywhere nearby

Fires in Serbia

Who should react?

A rumbling wakes you up, you see the bed vibrating and the chandelier swaying: an earthquake. Run outside. And no entry into the house for the next half day. Children today, whatever is happening, do not react to it, headphones and mobile phones are there and they don't really care about the earthquake, they don't even notice it. But then some people came and warned, that was their job. Today, in this system, that will not happen, you will be left at the mercy of the system

The case of the six

Regime detention meat

In the indictment brought against Antic, Momčilović and the others, the recorded conversation is not mentioned anywhere in the file, nor was it submitted as evidence, so the question remains as to who did it and how the recording was obtained. If it's not the BIA and the police, who is? Some other state body or is it a "private initiative"

Police and citizens

Morale has been at an all-time low since October 5th

"I'm standing in the cordon, and my daughter is shouting at me 'aw, aw, killers'. What should I do? If they ordered me - I would throw down my baton and bulletproof vest and stand on the side of my child," a police officer from the south of Serbia, who works as needed in the Belgrade Police Brigade, told "Vreme"
