Batut: In Serbia, 220.000 people do not know they have diabetes
On the occasion of World Diabetes Day, Batut warns that a large number of people have this disease and are not even aware of it, because diabetes can go without symptoms for years.

Metropolitan David of Kruševac once again spoke out about the students, calling them "thugs, manitos and people from Veresia", but also "Serbian Ustashas". This term is lexically and historically impossible, because the Ustasha authorities are responsible for murders and persecutions of Serbs in concentration camps like Jasenovac.
"They roar in the streets, collect consensuses, they even have their ajvanli-pashas who train them how to become Serbian Ustashas and new villains."
This is how Metropolitan David of Kruševac described the activities of students in recent months. The text, under the title "Zduhaci, Manitose and people from Veresia", was published on the website Serbian Orthodox Church. This is not the first time that the Metropolitan of Kruševac has been a columnist for the Serbian Orthodox Church, nor is it the first time that he has written on the trail of the ruling regime and insulted students in Serbia.
The Serbian Orthodox Church has already distanced itself from the opinions of their columnists about student protests, but still regularly publishes them.
"When riots, revolts and revolutions of various colors are underway, at the end of them, red, or the color of blood, still prevails, and then all participants in the parade become responsible for far-reaching historical consequences, and both unscrupulous plotters and naive pawns know this. This makes the situation such that a vulgar type of politics, involved in some of the domestic and foreign kitchens, presents to everyone a taste of dilithirion or poison," writes the Metropolitan of Kruševac.

This type of politics brings with it "a big ax that separates people from prayer and from each other", he adds, and "what kind of politics does not have reasoning as a precedent, nor is it compatible with a calm, persistent statement of positions, and with solutions that are found at one moment", the text states.
Further in his text, Metropolitan David explains that the gatherings held throughout Serbia are similar to the "consultations of the illuminati and the raffle of Davos".
Can anyone be a Serbian Ustasha?
The historical concept of Ustasha is directly opposed to the concept of Serbia, because the Ustasha actually killed - Serbs.
The Ustasha authorities are responsible for the murders and persecutions of Serbs, Jews, Roma and other political dissidents in concentration camps such as Jasenovac.
Ustaša is the name for the Croatian revolutionary organization founded in 1929 in Italy, as a response to the January XNUMX dictatorship of the King of Yugoslavia, Aleksandar Karđorđević.
The organization's ideology is based on Croatian separatism, ultra-right ideas and a terrorist approach to achieving Croatian independence, the BBC wrote.
It was founded as a secret society by Ante Pavelić during exile, and the members of this organization are called Ustashas, after the old Croatian word for rebels.
After the outbreak of the Second World War, the Ustasha took power in 1941, as allies of Adolf Hitler and the Axis Powers_,_ and founded the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) in the areas of today's Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and part of Vojvodina.
Croatian historian Ivo Goldštejn, d interview with the BBC described the NDH as a "meaningfully treacherous and meaningfully criminal" organization, which was not independent but a "defacto Nazi-fascist protectorate".
It was not even a state in the true sense of taking care of its citizens, he adds, and it was not even Croatian, because it was left without the most valuable parts of the Croatian Adriatic and Dalmatia, which went to the Ustasha "sponsors" - fascist Italy.
SPC: They hear and publish texts
Theologian Blagoje Pantelić, commenting on the text of Metropolitan David, stated that the Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox Church implies that the Synod oversees the work of the Archbishops, and that Patriarch Porfiria should convene an extraordinary session of the Synod.
"The Patriarch presides over the Synod and can call an extraordinary session." It must do so urgently in order to review the actions of the bishop who is clearly no longer in control of himself. If the patriarch remains silent, then it can only mean one thing - that he agrees with the bishop that the students are Serbian Ustasha," Pantelić writes on the social network X.
They roam the streets, gather consensus, and even have their own ajvanli-pashas who train them to become "Serbian Ustashas" and the new evil spirits of Lubyanka - these are the words of the Bishop of Kruševac, Vučić's anointer in Ljubostinja.
Why don't the Patriarch and the Synod react? They agree that the students of the Serbian…— Blagoje Pantelic (@blagojepantelic) February 25, 2025
When it comes to the bishop in question, there are serious indications that there has been financial embezzlement in his diocese. This needs to be thoroughly investigated. It goes without saying that the investigation must be conducted by independent financial forensic experts.

Although Patriarch of Porphyry argued that it is unacceptable to see each other as enemies, from his closest environment, in addition to comparing students with the Ustashas, earlier there were messages that students live in a parallel universe and that it is not true that Patriarch Pavle supported the protests in the 1990s.
And while the SPC officially dissociated itself from the text of Dušan Stokanović, an official of the Patriarchate (former member of the Board of Directors of RTS and the Broadcasting Institution of Serbia) in which he criticizes students, on the official website of the SPC regularly, at intervals of several weeks, texts against students are released, and there is also a speech by the head of the Information Service of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Irinej Bulović, in which he supports the government's thesis about the threat of Vojvodina in Serbia.
"Foreign Services for Breaking Serbia"
This is not the first time that Metropolitan David has commented on students. At the beginning of February, he wrote a text about his own view of the happenings on the streets.
"Throughout the entire Republic of Serbia, the Serbian people go out into the streets of the cities and spend time on them; moreover, he possesses them; just like institutions: schools, universities, clinical centers, political and party institutions and premises... free and available space, various surfaces, and traffic junctions and bridges," he writes. "There are people everywhere (elementary school students, high school students, students, teachers, professors, farmers, laborers, medics, public figures..., small and large, unknown and known, and behind all the popular masses as shields, oppositionists; behind the oppositionists, again, experts for colored revolutions and maidans, while behind them foreign services for the destruction of Serbia)".
That is the reason for our present-day chatter; here are our historical difficulties up to this hour, wrote the columnist of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
