Vladimir Orlić: Scientific associate of the College of Medicine in Ćuprija
Vladimir Orlić became famous for not allowing dissenters to have a say and for speaking at the scheduled media conference to an empty hall where not a single journalist came. He also drew attention to himself with a work contract with the College of Medicine in Ćuprija. Two years ago, BIRN wrote in the text "What the documents show" about numerous illogicalities in connection with the hiring of the then SNS deputy, whose contract was declared illegal by the educational inspectorate. Since Orlić will be voted for the President of the National Assembly during the day, after a stormy debate, we remind you of this case

Serbian fears: Vulinization of elections
Some voters are afraid that they will lose their jobs if they don't vote for Vučić, or that SNS will lose and there will be lustration and riots. The common fear of 50 percent of respondents in the shadow of the Ukrainian war is the revival of the "ghosts of the past" in the post-Yugoslav area. The same number of them believe that Serbia should be neutral in relation to Russian aggression at the cost of sanctions, shortages and everything that reminds of the nineties, while some others fear exactly that. In response to all this, Vulin announces an attack on polling stations, the breaking of ballot boxes and the planting of forged ballots, all in the organizations of some foreign factor and domestic collaborators.
