A heavy legacy of violence that no one is addressing

The Belgrade Center for Security Policy conducted an analysis of the measures that were introduced after the tragedies that occurred on May 3 and 4 last year. The conclusion showed that the introduced measures were motivated by political interests to satisfy the public and that they were not adopted by professionals from the field of public security, justice or education. Therefore, some could not be implemented, and others are unsustainable

Three months since the mass murders: Shameful reactions and shameless words

On this day, three months ago, one child killed nine children and the custodian of the "Vladislav Ribnikar" elementary school. A day later, a mass murder took place in the vicinity of Mladenovac. The words and gestures of the government representatives after that tragedy were so inappropriate and shameless that they caused mass protests that continue to this day.

Juveniles in detention: The consequences can be permanent and irreversible

"Determining custody of minors must be in accordance with the law and used as a last measure, for the shortest possible period of time, while respecting the best interests of the child," Jelena Paunović, director of the Center for Children's Rights, told the "Vremena" portal. Children's rights organizations call on competent authorities, the media and society as a whole to be aware of the long-term and often irreversible consequences of detention on children and not to make their position worse during that process.

Reality Matrix Serbia

We have found ourselves in a kind of media meta-reality, where a complete polemic, investigation, manipulation and commercialization of these two massacres, in which children and young people died without any fault, is practically taking place. This is precisely where the eerie paradox of the media in Serbia is hidden, that whether they defend or attack the concept of reality, they actually enter a kind of meta-reality, which in many ways strangely resembles reality.

Vučić's regret on RTS: It's too late for tears

Three weeks after the tragedy, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić visited the crime scene and the families of the victims in the villages around Mladenovac "without cameras", but he talked about it in detail in RTS's "Dnevnik" that same evening. On that occasion, he confided that he was also in "Ribnikar", five or six days ago, he doesn't even know how many days ago, to pay his respects to the victims, but incognito, so that no one would find out.

Citizens on the Street: A Universal Act Against Shameless Predation

The two tragedies in Serbia carry a universal gene in them: the horror is common, the sadness is shared by all of us. This horror and this sadness are not preceded by political divisions. But despite that, the nature of Vučić's rule, as well as the mentality of the people gathered at the court, does not allow for a universal model that is a direct effect of civilization. Vučić and his team are unable to deal with anything universal, nothing that does not concern them, only them and no one but them. That's why they tried to monopolize the pain. That's why they turned to the universal

Bursting of the ulcer of trauma that we carry for a long time

"Vučić's intention to be the one who will gather people in moments of general mourning cannot succeed. He, lost in a too long and in fact unbearable monologue, panting and rolling his eyes as if he were the greatest victim in the whole tragedy, and the ministers lined up behind him are not a sight that can be connected at all with the unforgettable image of people arriving in processions to the places where they will be laid to rest. flowers and light a candle. These two recordings, these two scenes, show two worlds"
