The outgoing president finally sat down in the škoda belonging to his older brother, and went to "talk to the people". There is a huge gap between how it presents its campaign and what it really is - too expensive and unbearable
A full two months after he announced that he would tour Serbia in his Škoda, the outgoing president Aleksandar Vučić he went to Velika Plana and Smederevo to "talk to the people" and boasted about it on Instagram.
As described by the tabloid media, the famous song of Toma Zdravković "Play this night just for her" was heard on the radio, while the president hummed.
"Today, I am my own master for the first time, in the role of chauffeur and public tribune at the same time. It is morning, and on the radio they just happened to play Toma Zdravković...", announced Vučić.
Škoda, as far as is known, is not in Vučić's property map, but belongs to his brother Andrej Vučić. The car is supposedly twenty years old.
While it lasts unbearable campaign in order for Vučić to become prime minister again, he finally got into that Škoda, and then arrived at Šalinovac, where he tried fishing with the people.
Zlatko Minic, coordinator of the Transparency Serbia research, believes that the way Vučić wanted to present his upcoming campaign is nothing new.
"It is possible that he will appear at some kind of gathering in his car, or whose car it is, given that it is not in the property registration. That is the performance he wants," Minic previously told "Vreme".
"And as for the tours, we have seen that in all campaigns. They are always hybrids of party and supposedly presidential rallies, which are explained by the fact that he is visiting citizens in the capacity of president, but in fact it was all a campaign," he added.
SNS campaigns have always been the most expensive, even in the official part. "There has been talk about black money, about cash that slips through, for decades. There are not many ways in Serbia to spend that money in a campaign. The first thing, of course, is the direct buying of votes. Second, illegal payments to some activists who complete jobs. And also, subsidizing commercial media so that representatives of the option that gives money will be guests in shows that are not electoral blocs," added Minic.
Real journalism costs money, and we will not be bought by tycoons and corporations. Support us with a one-time or monthly donation. The time for that is now.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
The four independent members of REM are an example of perseverance and civic responsibility. Rodoljub Šabić even, upon leaving the premises of REM, after the sentencing of the Informer, experienced that the Essenes insulted him, hit him with their hands and feet. But that too will soon be over
