Go change: RTS, Pink and tabloids violated the Law on Public Information

"It is normal that the media reported Ana Brnabić's letter. It is not the media's fault that a person with such a vocabulary is our prime minister. We believe that people from the government are ashamed of the letter that Ana Brnabić signed, but you cannot now forbid the media to respect the law and to convey the response of the party that was attacked," said Marina Pavlić, executive director of the Kreni-promeni movement.

Showdown at the Palace of Serbia: A game of mouse and cat

The too small number of demonstrators did not succeed in disrupting the ceremonial awarding of the Order of Merit on the Statehood Day in the large cleared area around the Palace of Serbia. With a bit of chasing around the field, the police without equipment to break up demonstrations managed to prevent the environmental activists from approaching the Palace.

Flying start: With great contempt for the great protest

For Tuesday, February 15, the leader of Kreni-premeni Savo Manojlović announced a mass protest called "Meeting Defense of the Constitution and Statehood". He said that at 12 o'clock Mihajla Pupin Boulevard and Nikola Tesla Boulevard will be blocked, because the President of Serbia should award the decorations at the Palace of Serbia. Aleksandar Vučić previously said that he no longer cares about protests. The role of environmental protests in the election campaign of political parties, which officially begins on Sretenje, will largely depend on the scale and speed of the demonstrations.

A Close Encounter of a Dangerous Kind: Call for Protest on February 15th During National Day Celebrations

If the environmental protesters do not give up holding the protest at the time and place of the ceremony on the occasion of the Statehood Day where Vučić will hand out medals, riots cannot be ruled out. Because it is hard to imagine that the police would allow the protesters to approach the President, even in the presence of dignitaries from the non-Western world.

Obstruction of elections: Roadblocks cannot be a criminal offense

Traffic roadblocks, even on election day, do not fall under the criminal offense defined in Chapter 15 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia, which criminalizes crimes against electoral rights. In other words, even on the day of the election, roadblocks can only be treated as a misdemeanor. Obstruction of the work of the polling station was overlooked, however, with a penalty of up to 3 years in prison

Neutralizing the green peril: SNS greener than fake environmentalists

No one has thought more about the environment than the SNS authorities, the leaders of environmental organizations are not men of their word, they actually lead a policy against Vučić and are only against anything and everything, and they have no plan for anything. The elections have not even been announced yet, and the election campaign is heating up

Luka Tripković: Obstruction of elections is dangerous, but there is no retreat

Obstruction is a "heavy" option. It would not suit the SNS in any way if Kreni-permeni obstructs the elections in the middle of their campaign. They are aware that 14 percent of their members support the protests. And that will happen if, before the dissolution of the Assembly, a moratorium on the ban on the exploitation of boron and lithium for 20 years is not adopted, because if there is political will, they can arrive
