How many people in Serbia really belong to the middle class, who is the richest class, and who lives on the edge of poverty? Professor Vladimir Stojiljković's analysis for Demostat shows that the social pyramid of Serbia looks more like a rhombus - with a narrow top of the rich, a broad working class and a large number of citizens fighting for economic security

Big desires, small capacities

In schools, almost all actors participate in morally problematic behavior, i.e. there is a considerable amount of dishonesty and "shortcuts". This applies to the administration (43 percent of teachers agree that "in their school, teachers are mostly hired through relationships"), students (38 percent of 5th-8th grade teachers believe that the use of illegal means, such as copying, bugs, and guns, is at least somewhat widespread among their students), teachers (35 percent of teachers say that at the teacher's council in almost every class, some grade is corrected for a student who did not deserve it with his results). Our data shows that the public (even slightly more than the teachers themselves) think that "many parents put pressure on teachers to give their children grades" and that students do not respect teachers enough

There are more "us" after all, but with all the students, mutually very diverse, left and right opposition, pro-Europeans and pro-Brixists, true and false sovereignists, those who are "against the government, but still don't know for whom"... which is a group that even God himself could not, and should not, assemble into one whole. However, it is encouraging that in the past five or six months, the regime threw and burned literally all possible and impossible cards and trump cards and only managed to stop or slow down the shedding to some extent.

"At the moment, Russophobia, for which there are good reasons, is also used as a means to divert attention from British problems. Including the problem of Palestine and Israel, because it is real dynamite there. And the Balkans come here like some entertainment: it goes, it comes back, both in popular stories and in those heating up the idea of ​​renewed conflict, which, rationally speaking, is really not easy to imagine"

Serbia is finally on the right track

Since the fall of the canopy in Novi Sad, it seems as if the marketing-strategic team of the Serbian Progressive Party has left all the decision-making strings to the team for escalation. If paying tribute to the victims in front of the Faculty of Dramatic Arts represented a "small fire" that, from the point of view of SNS strategists, should have been localized, the current president and his party did the opposite: they encouraged the spread of the fire, which eventually engulfed their own political "house". It was from that house, with their political amateurism, that they chased away a considerable number of previous supporters
