Is the government preparing a package for pensioners?

Why is Darko Glišić stalking the elderly? How does the regime want to push them over for the umpteenth time? What does Aleksandar Vučić give them with his right hand and take with his left hand? And what does the dramatic increase in the prices of homes for the elderly tell us?

Local elections in Serbia

Progressives, students and fake Russians

Having activated everything it has in the campaigns in ten places, the regime behind the scenes deals with buying votes, trading influence and other irregularities as in all elections in Serbia since 2012. The challenge before those who stand against it is enormous.

No one can win alone.

Vučić's regime is tightening its grip, protecting its voter base and causing divisions in the anti-regime camp, Radomir Lazović, deputy of the Green-Left Front, told Vreme. He still hopes for a joint list with the students or at least an end to the banter

Aleksandar Vučić's speech psychopathology of contradictions

Serbia is both meta-stable and hyper-threatened, both an economic tiger and just before it completely collapsed, its president is respected and adored by everyone in the world and wants to oust him from power. The speech of contradictions had its purpose, but in the meantime it has worn out

The regime is bursting at the seams.

There is always the option to keep the regime in power by violence, that is, to grow from an autocracy into a complete dictatorship and even into fascism.

One step closer to common sense

"Without the return of credibility and trust of the citizens, no party has a chance in the elections," historian Dragan Popović told Vreme. According to economist Sava Tatić, "one should bet everything on the only horse capable of winning the race. And that horse is, of course, a student horse"

Elections are won through organization and communication

It is important to constantly remind the key elements of the vision of a better society, without blurring and confusing. Also and in the same way, an indirect suggestion of action after the fall of the regime instead of threats, because threats will consolidate the mass of those who will fear that they too will be attacked even though they are not ideological soldiers of the regime

Signing of Serbia

In a country where political problems are often solved by pretending they don't exist, the students did something radically simple: they named the problem and tried to measure it.
