Dacic is jumping on Vucic's political pyre

Ivica Dačić symbolically offered Branko Ružić as a sacrifice to Aleksandar Vučić before the crucial elections. But it seems that Ružić has already achieved something with his role as a "dissident".

This is a national uprising.

I can't treat students like tycoons and rich people, that would be ridiculous," Ružić told "Vreme". "Self-conscious people feel what is not good in society.

Government reconstruction and Branko Ružić on the N1 somehow became the same topic. By what logic, by what means, it is unclear. It is only clear that this is one big fight between the two ruling parties, in which the paramedia and megaphones of the authorities are only a means of sending cryptic messages between the SNS and the SPS.
