The twelfth year syndrome
It turns out that a dozen years is the optimal measure for ruling modern Serbia, whether autocratic or democratic
Government on elections "with itself"
What is the "Working Group for the Improvement of Electoral Conditions" and what is its purpose?

Comment
The opposition promised victory - it should be measured by that
The run-out campaign was a dirty progressive blitzkrieg. But other election conditions do not exist and will never exist under Vučić. The opposition parties themselves said that they can win like this and should be measured accordingly

LINE: Election campaign marked by inequality and threats
CRTA program director Raša Nedeljkov said that the election participants are unequal, that the government erases the border between the state and the party, and that this raises doubts about the integrity of the entire election process.

Stefanović: The SNS cannot tolerate the opposition talking to the citizens
"We will encounter various obstacles, aggression and violence of the progressives on the ground, but this is something that has been happening for 11 long years because this government rests on violence," Borko Stefanović told the "Vremena" portal.
The government and the hate campaign
Violence without borders
In this pre-election campaign, the "dirtiest so far", the government strikes wherever it reaches. It's as if he's in a panic, like a rat cornered and jumping into his eyes. In addition to the opposition, the independent media, the non-governmental sector, a gruesome hunt is being waged against the initiators of ProGlas, prominent figures of various factions who called on citizens to oppose injustice, crime and corruption, overcome their fear, come out and vote freely in the elections. They have become "Brussels opposition", "false elite", "hypocrites", and "vampires".

Tepić: We have the strength to change the regime
Marinika Tepić said that the list "Serbia against violence" is not asking for bread and butter, but that laws are respected, that the system works and that one person is not above the law, and "his loved ones are spared from the law".
Personal attitude
The President of the Republic and I - the second time
Needing the opposition, and gradually suffocating itself in the lumps of increased and aggravated clientelism, the current government has deprived this society of the ability to organize an effective state, without which any satisfactory regulation of social life is hardly conceivable.

Tatjana Mandić Rigonat: Characters from Živka's family conquered our reality
"When this government breaks, we will again see how it runs from one end of the political field to the other, with some people remaining constant - especially the so-called experts", says the director of tonight's jubilee "Lady Ministers", a play about a political travesty, for the "Vremena" portal
Permanent cold treatment
Philosophy and other rubbish
The reasons for the government's negligence, even hostility to philosophy, are clear and least interesting. Philosophy creates free people, and any authoritarian structure is afraid of learned and free people. However, the question of where so many philosophers and humanistic scientists would be employed, what would they do, can be made legitimate? This is a weak question, however

Commissioner Milan Marinović: The government hides information
The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance stated that last year 547 decisions were made in which the authorities were ordered to make previously withheld information available, and they did not do so in 148 cases, which means that the degree of execution of the Commissioner's decisions is almost 73 percent.

The share of miracles and effort in politics: What should the opposition do?
In the destroyed public space, political substance appeared again - the awareness that civic energy must be articulated in political terms. Citizen political parties and citizens' representatives serve exactly that
Comment
May opposition maturing: Changes are possible
The righteous in politics, those who think they know they are the possessors of the truth, and as such do not share their truth with anyone, are just as dangerous as compulsive liars. Maturation in the political sense means the ability to adapt one's ideological position to the ideological positions of other political actors. Since 2012, it has not happened that the opposition scene has been profiled this clearly

Differences: How Ristovski and Bakarec do it, and how Kojo does it
No one can take away your right to dissent and you act freely, but the way the government wants - is the latest message of Ristovski to the actors from the SNS speaker on Friday and Bakarac on Monday from the assembly hall. Which he answered them without saying a word
Protest gathering of citizens
In the new issue: Serbia at the crossroads of civilization
Trauma and anger roll through the streets of the cities as the government disavows all responsibility for the tragic events in Belgrade at the beginning of the month. The demands presented in two protest marches, although they seem like an exit option for the regime, do not meet with such a reception, so the street will decide what will happen to Serbia in the coming years.

Appeal to free media: A new attitude towards politics in Serbia is needed
Our opposition does not have to fight only against SNS and SPS. She also has to deal with a certain inertia of the Serbian free media, the only ones where she has the opportunity to appear. Namely, what is the free media doing that reduces the chances for us citizens of Serbia, their listeners and readers, to see a change in the system that is destroying us in the foreseeable future?

Blockade of Serbia: Epilogue of the second protest
It should be worrying for the government that a significant number of people went to the protests and that a few young activists showed great organizational skills and no fear, under a regime whose power is intimidation. Where there were provocations, the demonstrators did not back down. Finally, there was a change of generations in the civil protests. There are still four months left until the elections
