I expect something unpleasant to happen to me

We often rightly criticize the European Union for actually sacrificing democratization and the rule of law in our country for the sake of security. These are the issues of Kosovo, Serbia's relationship with Russia, as well as the fear of causing regional conflicts. However, what is happening now is that the regime is causing internal instability in Serbia. It is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous than what the European Union is afraid of. For this reason, I think they will understand that the priority at this moment must be the internal stabilization of the situation in Serbia. And that means the end of intimidation, the end of hate speech, the end of terror, as well as the insistence on the action of judicial authorities, prosecutors, courts

Only some university professors came to the defense of students exposed to attacks for participating in the "Serbia against violence" protests. "No one is asking you to come out as a professor and support someone's political views," says Vojin Radovanović, a student of the FPN and journalist of the daily newspaper "Danas". But professors should step forward and say that in a democratic society it is not normal for anyone to suffer persecution for a word spoken in public

Bowing to pressure gives the more aggressive what they want

"The fact is that the state sometimes stood behind organizations like the National Patrol and many others. When they were guarding the mural of Ratko Mladic, even President Vučić said something like 'well, those are dangerous guys' and mentioned them by name. The bigger problem is some kind of logistical, unopened support, as well as the tolerance that the state showed for what Leviathan or the People's Patrols were doing. Now Zentropa stands out as the most aggressive and ideologically radical group"
