If you are not satisfied with the current government, and yet everything is dark in your city or municipality, then you really should not go to the local elections under these conditions. But if not, rest assured that the next four years will be even worse if you don't vote for change on June 2nd. Then don't complain to anyone
If you think that for Brussels, Washington, Berlin or Paris, democracy in Serbia is more important than dealings with the regime of Aleksandar Vučić and you believe that they will one day force him to change the freak election conditions, do not go to the local elections on June 2.
If you are dissatisfied with the local government and think that changes will come through a popular uprising, on the wave of unstoppable, critically mass civil protests, that citizens will risk their jobs and existence for the sake of believing in a better tomorrow, if you are personally ready to participate in the revolution and you believe that it will be led by opposition leaders who call for a boycott, do not go to the polls.
If you don't mind Belgrade on the water spreading like a cancer in the city fabric, if you have nothing against the demolition of the Fair and if you like the idea of Trump family skyscrapers sprouting up on the site of the General Staff buildings, don't go to the polls or vote for Vučić.
If you have nothing against the demolition of the "Yugoslavia" hotel and a two-headed construction dragon of 240.000 square meters rising in its place, do not go to the polls or vote for Vučić.
If you don't mind the concreting of Belgrade, the systematic demolition of buildings that are or should be protected as cultural monuments, don't vote.
If you want a gondola on Kalemegdan, be sure to vote for Aleksandar Vučić.
If you are not personally affected by the construction of megalomaniacal commercial/residential buildings in places where there is no infrastructure for it, and you really care about your fellow citizens who are facing this problem, then do not go to the polls, but then do not ask for support when progressive investors reach your window.
If you haven't had any problems with "Oka sokolovi" and you think that the Parking Service works well and you don't have a problem with parking where you live, don't go to the polls.
If you believe that the progressive city government in Belgrade will build a subway and you see nothing controversial in the first announced line whose construction has allegedly started, if you believe that after twelve years the same government will improve city traffic, do not go to the polls or vote for Vučić .
If you are happy with your health center and hospitals, if you don't mind that some hospital wards look like they are from the smallpox era, then don't go to the polls.
If you believe that after twelve years of empty promises, the progressive government will introduce sewerage in those parts of Belgrade that do not have it and where about 140.000 people live, do not vote.
If you think that the same government will do something about air pollution, don't go to the polls.
If you think that Belgrade is developing in the interests of citizens, and not in the interests of investors and entrepreneurs close to SNS, do not go to the polls or vote for Vučić.
If you think that Serbia needs a national stadium that costs a billion euros more than a maternity hospital or a kindergarten, don't go to the polls.
If you don't care if Aleksandar Šapić will remain mayor of Belgrade, don't go to the polls.
If you have a visa and are about to leave Serbia and you are fed up with everything and you really don't care what will happen to the place where you live, there is no reason to waste half an hour and go to the polling station.
If you believe in flying taxis, don't go to the polls or vote for Vučić.
And if you are not satisfied with the direction in which Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Čačak or Valjevo are moving and you will not go to the polls on June 2, just be aware that all the above-mentioned things that should not be implemented will certainly be implemented, and that which should not.
Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
The example of the elections in Zaječar and Kosjerić shows that the truth is not given, but assumed. Truth is a task that a citizen fulfills. She always wins
It turns out that the opposition did not win in either of these two places. But before we fall into the abyss of defeatism, it should be noted that everything has gone as well as it can at this point. And that from now on, it can only get better
