This is the land for us.

What did the students start with their rebellion, their demands and the way they fight for them? What is actually happening to us? What kind of seed was planted? And what effects can this rebellion have? In the long run, does the government or the system change? How suddenly that youth - drugged for years to be disinterested and selfish - turned out to be so thoughtful and noble

How to (not) fail protests

The longer the student and popular uprising lasts, the more the question arises whether the demands will become more "political" - say, a transitional government and fair elections. But the chances of interrooms and banter are also increasing, which are a sure recipe for the end of the protest

The return of hope in the civilizational revival of Serbia

The success of the protests should be measured not by what we would like to achieve through them, but by what they have already achieved. And what has been achieved is huge. Even if the protests were stopped immediately, their traces would not be lost, but, on the contrary, would act as an important fact of our political future and would certainly shorten the lifespan of this government. Protests may come and go, but their impact and impact remains as a lasting political achievement

It's really over now.

For years, critics of the government could do whatever they wanted - the government was not affected by it. Now the government can do whatever it wants - it does not touch the rebellion and it spreads. Vučić's legitimacy has finally gone to hell and there is no going back

For more than a decade, the inhabitants of Serbia have been looking for answers to the numerous tragedies that society is going through on the streets, due to the silence of the authorities and institutions.
