Serbia is ready for political changes

Corruption is the first and biggest enemy of EU membership. Adaptation to European normative, institutional and procedural standards is a significant part of a country's entry into the EU. It is a way to speed up the building of political self-awareness and the institutional infrastructure of a democratic state in countries with very little or no democratic tradition. Without meeting at least the minimum of those standards, not only is it not possible to function within the EU, but membership has no meaning. Therefore, some "consolation prize" does not make any sense

Student movement

20.May 2026. Nedim Sejdinovic

Is Serbia finally tired of leaders?

The question has been raised for some time whether Vučić's rule is actually a hypertrophy and metastasis of political leadership, which was constantly produced by the creators of public opinion, all these years. Has, thanks to him, the need for leaders who will ask about everything - become a bone in the throat of the citizens from which they cannot breathe? In this respect, is the student movement right when it wants to reverse this tradition, that is, when it believes that it can change Serbia with non-leadership politics? In other words - can Vučić collapse without a "strong leader"

Traditions in US foreign policy

11.march 2026 Dr. Milan Krstić

The roots of American (inter)nationalism

Unlike the peace-oriented Jeffersonians, US President Andrew Jackson did not shy away from using the military for what he perceived as the nation's security interests, counting expansionism

Congress in the American Power Order (III)

26.February 2026. Dr. Marko Dašić

On a hill, but not at the top.

In history, Congress has adopted the decision to declare war only five times, and military engagement outside the borders of the USA exceeds the number of 200. However, my intention does not lie in researching the legal-political techniques of adapting and adapting the constitutional framework, but in presenting the inevitable outcome to which the nature of the Constitution leads: continuous struggles for supremacy led by the legislative and executive powers

The Founding Fathers of America

John Quincy Adams - the man, the time, the work

The return of the Western Hemisphere to the focus of US foreign and security policy and the existence of what is called the "Donroe Doctrine" requires an understanding of the roots of this policy. The intellectual, state and political legacy of the greatest American strategist in the 19th century and the creator of the Monroe Doctrine, John Quincy Adams, is certainly the first and most important step in the whole process.

Early Elections

SNS: President, please be the prime minister

Aleksandar Vučić is increasingly being asked by his followers to accept the position of prime minister after the presidential one, and he acts like a niece. Now the formal leader of the progressives, Miloš Vucevic, says that it would be a shame to "drop such political capital" and that he expects the "boss" to be the Prime Minister.

Personal attitude

14.January 2026 Davor Jalto

Serbia has no time for empty stories

If one wants to take a step in a meaningful direction, then lack of ideas, ignorance, corruption, corruption and cheap propaganda tricks must be replaced by politics - and a responsible politics of responsible people, who have some credibility and quality, who bring together important ideas and values

Interview: Mirjam Goldin, political scientist

Overturning the corruption balance

"When I was doing research on the political processes in Italy, I didn't understand why the country was so corrupt. I found out very quickly that the reason was that the party in power allowed it. The people in power had an interest in maintaining it. Politicians really profited from corruption because it allowed them to stay in power. They didn't really want to help the economy develop because they didn't want integration into global markets. They knew it would be too competitive for them."

From the new issue

17.December 2025 ID

The state pays employees to be corrupt

Does everyone in the world pay bribes, are we as ordinary citizens "guilty" of participating in petty corruption, as well as how to prevent deep institutionalized corruption, says American political scientist Miriam Goldin for the new issue of Vremena.

About the book

16.October 2025 Anđa Cerović

Transformation of subjects into citizens

The more citizens know, the more opportunities they have for action and the more aware they are of how politics affects their daily lives. The better they know the working mechanisms of institutions, the faster they notice when the government abuses them

09.October 2025 Bratislav Nikolic

I test my own ideology as devil's advocate

I know that some people do not like me politically because of my journalism, so that will certainly not change with this book, neither for the better nor for the worse. Last week, an extreme right-wing weekly published a cover with pictures of the seven of us and the headline: "Seven beat journalists". Somehow I don't believe that one book can change that much. But - I have my audience, both newspaper and book. The book is selling well in Croatia, which means that some people have a need for this kind of complicating things

Interview: Kokan Mladenović, director

24.September 2025 Sonja Ciric

If Serbia does not change now, it will cease to exist

"Why do we, the citizens of this undeclared dictatorship, agree to sit for months in lines of cars bypassing Xatsiland, which mocks us in the face with its senselessness and primitivism? Why do we live, make friends, talk with any member of the police and special units who mercilessly beat students and citizens? Why don't we use the endless possibilities of civil disobedience that are available to us"

Inner voice

24.September 2025 Aleksandar Dimitrijevic

The spiral of greed

A great focus on acquiring and increasing material wealth is often a sign of inner poverty, loneliness or even depression, which a person does not recognize or try to overcome. Unfortunately, acquiring new goods - regardless of their size or value - provides only a short-lived sense of fulfillment, and often leads to an even deeper emptiness. Because, as every child should know, we can only call what we create and those we loved our own
