Aleksandar Vučić's Croatian play: Scandal for scandal's sake

The scandal caused by the President of Serbia could be understood as an expression of a certain disorientation, as a play that was started and played almost routinely, without even the supreme plotter being clear about what this is for and whether it works at all.

The official circus surrounding a private visit: Why Aleksandar Vučić could not jump to Jasenovac

The Prime Minister of the smallest German province of Thuringia, Bodo Ramelo, my friend and reader of my books, wanted to visit me privately on the occasion of my ninetieth birthday, present me with the Order of Thuringia in a close circle of friends and family, and dine with me at the Writers' Club. Well, that was not possible. They didn't want to let him go from Germany without two armed bodyguards, Serbia assigned him two more of our armed security guards, and he had to fulfill a whole series of protocol entanglements in order to spend a few private hours with me, with all the bodyguards. There is no privacy when you hold a certain government position

Vučić's (un)departure to Jasenovac: Summer inflaming of tensions

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić wanted to go privately, with television crews, from Republika Srpska to Jasenovac and light a candle for the Serbs who died in the camp. He did not consider it necessary that, as the president of the state, he should officially inform Zagreb about this in advance. Due to the violation of procedures, the Croatian authorities did not grant him entry into Croatia and raised doubts about his good intentions. They say that he announced his arrival in the short term and indirectly with the intention of not letting him into Croatia so that he could play the victim at home. Sharp reactions are coming from Belgrade
