Serbia and Europe: How to secure electricity this winter

Serbia could have avoided all this mess with electricity if the management of EPS had listened to the experts, who warned for years that it was necessary to move to new coal deposits and stop digging the already exhausted deposits. As if out of spite, the system "broke" at the most inconvenient moment, so the total damage that EPS will suffer will probably reach more than one billion euros. This is how we got into a situation where EPS, instead of investing and building a new Štavalj thermal power plant, throws that money at importing electricity. At the same time, no one can guarantee that Serbia will have enough electricity during the winter

Ljubomir Simović: General robbery is legalized here

"After the liberation of Užice, at the very end of the Second World War, a meeting was held on the Wheat Market - now Partisan Square. I remember that on the roof of the market scale, where the participants and speakers performed, music professor Dragoljub Jovašević sang: It's already May Day / Russians in Berlin are now drinking tea.' At that rally, as a third-grade student, I recited a satirical poem about occupied Belgrade. I had forgotten that poem, and who was its author. But, looking at what has been happening in Belgrade in recent years, I remembered the beginnings of the lines of that satire: 'Belgrade, famous old city / what do they do with you in madness!'"
