Republika Srpska and God

The event that, according to Porfiry, was crucial for the formation of Serbian statehood, took place in the Studenica monastery in 1207, and another of Nemanja's sons, Vukan, took part in it, the only one who would not become a saint. He and Stefan had quarreled, but they reconciled that day in Studenica thanks to Sava, who persuaded these two to stop fighting and embrace and kiss each other. Therefore, the future saints of the Serbian Orthodox Church participated in this, as well as a layman. If he also embedded himself in the "eternal foundations of the Serbian state", as Porphyry says, then in those foundations there are not only holy relics, but also the work of a layman.

Yugoslavia was better.

"The former Mostar still exists - it lives on. There is also the former Sarajevo, and the former Belgrade - but as a minority energy. Which will not disappear. That is why it is impossible for the space to be 'cut' to the end and for everything to end the way the nationalists wish. That is why the nationalist spasm is coming. They would so much like that minority, that common cultural and social reflex to be gone - that it does not exist, that it does not survive - but they cannot fight against it. And that is, paradoxically, both our strength and our worst problem: we are a media and publicly influential minority, numerous enough to bother, but not strong enough to turn things around"

Will Dodik make a deal and leave peacefully?

Milorad Dodik, who continues to act as president of the RS even though he does not officially have a mandate, is reportedly negotiating a "peaceful" departure from politics. On the other hand, there are indications that he is ready for a total political showdown

The case of citizen Dodik

Citizens are at the crossroads between political adventurism and institutional strengthening through compliance with judicial decisions. On the one hand, there is participation in an unconstitutional referendum and acceptance of the overthrow of all principles of the rule of law, and on the other, a break with the decades-old system based on corruption and clientelism.

Autumn of the anointed

As now, the president of Republika Srpska had a public argument with Sarajevo. As with Europe and the USA, under whose sanctions he and his family are. Despite this, his wealth increased and his power in the RS grew from year to year. If at the beginning of his career he seemed like a tough but reasonable politician, over time he turned into a headstrong and rude kabadah who disperses his enemies with noise and curses. Now, it seems, the bill has arrived for collection
