A security war against one's own people

What can the new government do with people from the security system who have accepted to wage a special, hybrid war against the majority of their citizens on behalf of a regime? What should we do with people who have accepted such rules of the game? We need to get rid of the burden they represent, because they are not capable of doing their job. No, it's not retaliation. From the beginning, the student movement insisted that the state system be regulated, and this implies very radical measures in the security system, where people who have received high salaries for years to follow and harass opponents of the government sit. They have to leave the service. If they're all like that, they all have to go

Distraction, intimidation and selling fog

To what extent is the information that the Serbian Army is seriously "building up" weapons? What is the purpose of strengthening armed capacities and, therefore, what kind of messages are sent for internal use, and what kind of messages are intended for the environment? Does the military cooperation between Zagreb, Tirana and Pristina really scare the regime and Vučić or is it all a show that feeds the vanity of one man? Why is military "power" tendentially promoted in this context through the pro-regime media, what is the correlation of this propaganda package with the elections, and what is it in the wider context of geopolitical circumstances? These questions are answered by Vojkan Kostić, Petar Bošković and Boško Jakšić

How the progressives ruined the army and the police

The consolidation of the authoritarian system within the security apparatus, the replacement of loyalists with super-loyalists, their financial rewards - this speaks in favor of the fact that the regime is preparing the ground for a violent defense of the government. We had several trials for such a thing, say the use of a sound cannon, massive beatings of citizens for no apparent reason, dousing protesters with illegal chemical agents, and so on. The regime is clearly prepared to use massive repression against citizens in order to survive
