Public debt: The road to the (un)known

Apart from the global price increase, Serbia must also pay the price of its own stupidity and the choice of the (all) ruling party to bring a "team" to the EPS that will thoroughly destroy the state's ability to produce energy. No one has yet been held accountable for this (evil) act, and the situation in which the state has to borrow heavily due to its bad decisions has already been "tried" enough times.

Today, the President of Serbia is in Osečina at the Plum Fair.

Census: Cincari, statistical error

Cincari, one of the peoples who founded modern Serbia, are not a national minority because in the last population census only 263 of them declared that they were of Cincar origin, although there are incomparably more of them. That is why they are classified as a statistical error in the result of the census. In the hope that this will not happen again this October, when the population census will be held in Serbia, we remind you of the text "Chameleons of the Balkans" published in 2015 in issue 1300

What awaits us: Vučić and life without a future

Given that the two most distinctive features of Vučić's confused performances are promises (which he does not fulfill) and willfully telling untruths, the question is not what his political and life future is (quite likely, one would say), but what is the future of the Serbs from Kosovo, and, then, consequently, the future of people in Serbia
