The two faces of polarization

The criminal activities of politicians and "businessmen" (to use a euphemism) can bring entire economies to the brink of collapse. Moldova has barely recovered from the 2014 banking scandal. Then the three largest banks stole 12 percent of GDP through fraudulent transactions, and the state stepped in and is still suffering the consequences of the financial collapse today. One of the oligarchs behind the bank robberies, Ilan Shor, became actively involved in politics

The regime is asking for mercy, but it would not give it to you

Darko Glišić, Minister for Public Investments, had a stroke in front of the cameras. The regime tried to somehow blame the citizens for it, because the citizens, apparently, did not show enough empathy for what happened to the minister. However, it is the regime that is systematically trying to kill the compassion of the citizens. And this with Glišić is just a signal that society has partially removed compassion from itself as an act of self-defense

Life under a canopy

Disrespect for the law and high level of corruption in Serbia are rapidly taking an even greater toll. Let's list some cases: part of the ceiling at the Cardiology Clinic in Niš fell, and the ceiling at the Railway Station in Ćuprija also rattled. Previously, a pedestrian crossing bridge near the village of Vlahovo collapsed and a part of the wall at the school in Pećinci collapsed (two girls were slightly injured). There are also collapses of the concrete structure of the overpass on the high-speed Požarevac-Veliko Gradište highway, ceiling collapses at a school in Užice, in Saranov near Rača, at the Institute for Public Health in Kragujevac and at the "Maja" kindergarten in New Belgrade. So, all that from November 1 last year until today. It's not enough

How the International Anti-Corruption Court would contribute to our fight against corruption

Serbia has, to a greater or lesser extent, harmonized its legislation with relevant international standards in the field of corruption. The problem of impunity for the highest state officials does not usually lie in this, but in the lack of political will to deal with high level corruption. Precisely because they control the police, the prosecution and the court, which are often corrupt themselves. Due to the captivity of institutions, they do not have the capacity to conduct complex investigations and to bring powerful and rich people to court
