Unions: Real wages lowest ever

Negotiations on the level of the minimum wage for next year are scheduled for tomorrow within the Social and Economic Council (SES). President Aleksandar Vučić has already presented his "predictions" on the amount of the minimum wage, while the trade unions believe that it is necessary to finish the story about their request for an extraordinary adjustment of the lowest wages, which they requested in the spring of this year.

How to overcome dystopia

It is not easy for the opposition, you have to be realistic. It is unbearably simple, and with good reason, to throw a stone at her, which many do. But it should be kept in mind that it operates in, to say the least, hostile circumstances, and that it is exposed to a wide variety of regime diversions, often very cunning and invisible to the public. We all somehow watched in awe as Vučić's government thoroughly destroyed the opposition activity in Serbia in the first five years of his rule, turning the alternative into a scorched earth. He bought and swallowed many, with privileges and promises, and for others he made life miserable to a considerable extent. The EU also observed all this rather benevolently

CNN: The West "sees no evil" in Vučić, and this is destabilizing the Balkans

Serbia has refused to participate in all rounds of EU sanctions against Putin, and has continued to pursue its own interests in the region with ever-diminishing responsibility, fomenting conflicts across the border to distract from discontent at home, safe in the knowledge that they will not be held accountable in the West.

Personal attitude

Responsibility is individual

If criminal responsibility were not individual, then we could label all policemen who break the law with the label of corruption or other types of lawlessness, all doctors with the label of "negligent" for certain cases of negligent treatment, all members of the BIA or VBA with the label of drug dealers or murderers because of Jovanjica, the murder of Ivan Stambolić or Zoran Đinđić, or all refugees and migrants labeled murderers, smugglers and kidnappers because of individuals who do this on the northern borders of Serbia

Lobbying in the USA: Montenegro withdraws from the contract, Serbia signs new ones

Providing lobbying services in the US is a legal and lucrative business. Montenegrin taxpayers, for example, pay a lobbyist to arrange for Dritan Abazović to be photographed with the Biden couple. The only question is what Montenegrin citizens get out of it. The same question applies to Serbia: are paid American lobbyists working to improve the image of the country, or Aleksandar Vučić
