Organ donation and transplantation (2)

Why the social environment is important

The lack of public education and the absence of a clear strategy for normalizing the conversation about donation make it difficult to change attitudes about organ transplantation. In many cases, families simply do not know what their deceased member's attitude would have been, because they never discussed it. Death is still quite taboo, death is not discussed. This is precisely why most people do not express their views on donation during their lifetime, which makes the decision even more difficult for families when they are faced with a loss.

Interview: Helmut Brandstatter, Member of the European Parliament

The decision on new elections belongs only to Serbia

"We must clearly say to Mr. Vučić: 'The way you are leading this country now, you will never enter the European Union. You must respect the rule of law, other political parties, parliament and free media.'

Protests in Serbia

Flame of discontent

In the months after the fall of the canopy in Novi Sad, the flames of rebellion spread throughout Serbia. The first protests started in Novi Sad right after the tragedy. The authorities responded with arrests, police cordons and intimidation, but instead of calming down the protesters, new protests followed.

Authority and undermining student blockades

Inserted elements and other attempts

In what way is the regime trying to extinguish the revolt at the faculties from within? How much room for maneuver do they have? How much influence do representatives in SKONUS have on that? How is pressure exerted on faculty administrations? What else can be expected

NoviSpy software and eavesdropping on citizens

State spying on activists

The BIA does not have the legal authority to confiscate and monitor phones on its own initiative, without an express order from the court and the prosecution. But, as BIRN's research shows, she persistently does it

Betting houses stronger than the state

There are about 3.600 betting shops in Serbia, which is almost double the number of primary and secondary schools. In smaller towns, besides bakeries and pharmacies, they are mostly the only facilities. But today physical bookmakers are not even needed to develop a gambling addiction as more and more young people are gambling online. What do (not) bring new legal solutions

EPS does not act on a pollution judgment

We are talking about excessive emissions of sulfur dioxide, a harmful gas that has been scientifically proven to have a negative effect on human health and the environment. It is important for citizens to know that when we talk about excessive emissions, we mean emissions that are as much as six times higher than permitted. Such multiple emissions lead to various consequences for health, with the most serious arising from excessive and long-term exposure to sulfur dioxide. This leads to a significant increase in mortality from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases

Nuclear power plants

A fear-inducing solution

Although the potential use of nuclear energy in Serbia is currently a hot environmental topic, announcements by state officials about the construction of nuclear power plants do not refer to the recent period. The Minister of Mining and Energy, Dubravka Đedović Handanović, stated a few months ago that this is a long-term project, and that we can eventually talk about 2039 or 2040.

A model of civic energy

Energy we produce ourselves

Jelena Nikolić from the Elektropionir cooperative tells "Vreme" that the key idea of ​​citizen energy is to "encourage every average resident to be an active participant in the energy transition", because, as she adds, the unity of citizens possesses unstoppable energy. As he explains, today's monopoly of large producers from which everyone receives electricity (from dirty sources), by switching to renewable sources, it can be replaced by a new monopoly of one and the same structure, or a decentralized system in which production belongs to the citizens, who through unity fight for better conditions on the energy market

Interview: Dr. Aleksandar Cvjetić

The professional public should be heard

"There is no human activity without risk. You can only say that the risk is acceptable or not acceptable. But we must not stop and then lag behind technology. People have some exclusivity there, there are constant attacks. First, I'm not employed by Rio Tinto, I'm employed by the university and I'm one of the people who worked on the study, and people keep thinking I'm defending Rio Tinto. I'm not defending Rio Tinto at all, I'm just defending the waistline"

Sweden

Reactivating "Total Defense"

Instead of mandatory military service, the Swedes have developed a model that directly targets those who have the most potential to enter the reserve or active army - depending on the preferences of the recruits. When they reach the age of majority, citizens receive a summons in which they are asked to declare their military service. The most valued criterion is personal motivation, and candidates compete with each other. In this way, only a small number of young men and women wear the uniform

Information leaked in the media that the Bosnian criminal Darko Elez had one of the hand-held radio stations of the TETRA network with him.

Interview: Biljana Abolmasov, dean of the Faculty of Mining and Geology

Mining and geology can be our future

"The exploitation itself is not harmful, the question is how and where the tailings will be disposed of and how much there is, because it must necessarily be there." There is not a single mine in the world that does not have tailings. Additionally, only we and no one else in the world have jadarite, which means that there is no proven technology for its exploitation. Mines in Portugal or Australia cannot be shown as bad examples because they are all surface mining, and here, as far as I know, underground mining is planned."

The affair of the decoration

Mystery for the Order of the Phantom from the Palace of Serbia

Nenad Konstantinović, Slobodan Homen's lawyer, tells "Vreme" that he found out about the theft of the medal through the media, and that neither he nor his client received any official letter from the competent institutions.
