Last week, the President of Serbia managed to send even worse and bigger insults than the initial ones in the form of an apology to the Nis correspondent of Radio-television of Serbia. The industry still rose. About forty journalists from Niš refuse to report on Vučić's performances, and they were joined by the Novi Sad correspondent of RTS
"There is no going back to the old ways. Many felt freedom and understood its importance. The right way is to support children and support the future. This was also recognized by the old people who barely have a living, who came out with great difficulty, but they did it in order to give a warm welcome to that army that marched into our hearts", says Natalija Jovanović, dean of the Faculty of Philosophy in Nis, summing up her impressions.
Neither holidays, nor icy days like the one on Sretenje when they were outside for a full 15 hours, nor even colder nights, when they slept under the open sky on the way to Novi Sad, bothered them. Neither the bloody feet from walking hundreds of kilometers, nor the daily intimidation from the authorities that they will be left without scholarships and homes, nor the latest threat that they will lose the year, hindered them. How students teach everyone else what perseverance and adaptability are in the face of new challenges
The principal's students stuck a sandwich on the door, she locked their school. Her exit, accompanied by schoolboy whistles for Vučić, represents "one of the most gruesome testimonies of today's Serbia"
"They will talk about the generation that started not a revolution, but an evolution. This is a civilizational, evolutionary step. We, the older ones, have forgotten that it is possible"
How do you imagine horror? The Ministry of Mining and Energy, for example, engaged the French company "Ežis", whose daughter company is connected with the fall of the canopy in Novi Sad, to draw up a plan for the construction of a nuclear power plant in Serbia.
Before the SNS came to power in 2012, "Vodovod" produced an average of about 1400 liters of water per second. Today - and in the meantime, Novi Sad gained at least 100.000 new residents - it emits about 400 liters less. The reason for the restrictions is the current low level of underground water, but the essential cause is carelessness. In other words, the system was neglected, the investments were far from what was needed
The exasperated president of the Republika Srpska called on the citizens to stone the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kristijan Šmit, because the RS does not recognize "this tourist". However, at the time when the high representatives brought him to power, Dodik spoke differently: "It is the right of the high representative to reach for that decision, which he received under the Dayton Agreement, which contains the clause that he is above the Constitution of BiH and the constitution of the entities. Westendorp did not disqualify (remove) Nikola Poplashen (the then president of RS), but Poplashen himself disqualified himself.
A specter is circulating in Croatia, the specter of Laura Koveši. It seems that various ministers and other powerful people could end up behind the bars of the Remetinac prison. But will the lesson be learned? Difficult. The recidivism of Croatian politicians is incurable
"The problem of our society is that it is not divided enough, therefore, it is not politically profiled enough from the inside. The only division I see here is the division between the ruling team, which usurped public space and introduced corruption as the only institution, and citizens, on the other hand, who do not have access to public space, and that is why they go out into the streets," says philosopher Zoran Dimić.
"The world has changed its facade several times, but the matrix remains the same - it only adapts to new technologies of control: the power of capital rules, the masses follow the illusion, history is recycled. Forgetting is the greatest ally of repeating mistakes. When the emotional distance from the horrors of the past increases, space opens up for their repetition - in a new form, with new narratives, but with the same outcome."
The session of the Assembly was actually a struggle to capitalize on the energy of the student rebellion. Believe it or not, the government and the opposition presented their actions as "fulfilling student demands"
"I believe that the members of the SPS and JUL, those who are not mentioned in the newspapers and on television as thieves, rich or that they are suspicious and responsible for some other reason - I believe that they are the ones who made an agreement with the new authorities to that government protects their material and other interests, their rather large wealth, and that in return they contribute to the bribery of their yesterday's comrades and personal friends"
"Refugees have been manipulated like no other population in recent times. Perhaps only the mentally ill were manipulated that way in the Soviet Union during Stalin's reign of terror."
The new authorities shout at the top of their voices that those responsible for the collapse of the state will be tried. Wouldn't it be more logical to rehabilitate the victims first?
In some reflections on the latest events not only in Macedonia but also in the south of Serbia, one hears how the Albanian side is allegedly trying to catch the "last train" for a more comprehensive solution to its own issue and to reach, possibly, a new Dayton by radicalizing the situation on the ground.
The Republic of Serbia is in danger. If we remain silent on the rigged process against political prisoners in Novi Sad and the Kraljeva case where the victims were declared violent, soon we will all go on hunger and thirst strikes for a shred of justice
The regime's retaliation will be dire if the resistance falters. Now they want to imprison the people who talked about overthrowing the government because they were supposedly overthrowing the state. But the state was hijacked and overthrown by the regime a long time ago
The Ministry of Public Investment submitted a request for a building permit for the construction of a new building for the Belgrade Philharmonic. Given that it is known that the project is too expensive and that there is no money for it, it seems that this too is just another colorful lie
