Low flights
The news that Dragan Šutanovac should become the new ambassador of Serbia to the United States caused a barrage of criticism at the expense of the flyover in which the "loyalist" Aleksandar Vulin was leading.
Vulin then said that Dragan Šutanovac "will do everything he can to prove in Washington that the bombing of Serbia was justified and necessary and to slander all of us who are against NATO."
"Like every flyover, he will spend his mandate in the hope that our government will pass, and that he will serve the next one as well," Vulin said.
He reminded that Šutanovac is not the first defector from the ranks of the Democratic Party.
"Dragan Šutanovac is not the first convert, but he has certainly always been the most useful to us. The man who managed to expel the DS from the parliament deserves to be forgiven for his ugly past", said Vulin.
The leaders of his former Democratic Party reacted to the news of Sutanovac's appointment as ambassador.
As stated in the press release of this party, "Sutanovac is one of many high flyers who are prone to corruption and personal enrichment".
"'Yellow thieves' or loyalists, as the mafia boss now calls them, are prone to political hochstaplery. (Dragan) Šutanovac, (Goran) Vesić, (Radoslav Milojičić) Kena and (Jelena) Trivan have a lot in common. First of all, they all have a common tendency towards corruption and personal enrichment", the statement of the Democratic Party states.
The party states that these are "flyovers who are always with the government", adding that they are all "rushed" from the DS, which they took advantage of and compromised.
"This is their last flyover, because they will be subject to lustration." "Immediately after the change of regime, their operations will be investigated," the party's press release states.
Who is Dragan Sutanovac?
He is a child from Belgrade (like the president), one of the representatives of democratic Serbia, he is a family man, an eloquent hydropower engineer who knows that quiet water flows down the hill and takes various paths until it turns into energy. "Time" was written.
"No less important - Dragan Šutanovac is tall, his suit fits him well, and his tracksuit will look good too if the marketing team decides that he should take a picture in the park when the president comes to America, so he needs a briefing before important meetings," the text adds.
Šutanovac is a functionary. Minister of the Army performed immediately before Aleksandar Vučić - from May 2007 to July 2012 - in the governments of Vojislav Koštunica and Mirko Cvetković.
Praise to Vučić and quarrels in DS
During the mandate of Dragan Sutanovac, mandatory military service in Serbia was abolished. Ten years ago, Šutanovac said that he was glad that it was Vučić who succeeded him as Minister of Defense, believing that Vučić would enable the defense system to progress with his political strength.
He praised the part of Vučić's speech at the UN, which the progressives declared historic, and criticized him only for the part where he talks about friendship between countries: "I don't think it should remain status quo around Ukraine and I think we should impose sanctions on the Russian Federation and it is not a matter of friendship or enmity".
Šutanovac was a member of the DS since 1997, and campaign manager in the parliamentary elections in 2003, the presidential elections in 2004, as well as the parliamentary elections in 2007. He was a member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia for five terms.
Arriving at the head of the DS in 2016, in the years when the party was in big personnel problems, when the former presidents had already left it, and many members were already asking to take party cards. Just four years later, he was expelled from the party. Srđan Milivojević, then president of the DS Executive Board, claimed that Šutanovac participated in the organization of a fake session and fake elections in the DS, which is in contradiction with the rules and statutes of the DS and entails the deletion of membership.

For Aleksandar Vučić, the consequences of the change of his government will be economic collapse, departure of foreign investors from Serbia, mass layoffs, jeopardy of pension payments, instability of the banking system, spread of crime. All in all - a cataclysm

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
Vučić pardoned the batterers and Dijana Hrkalović. The election winners should abolish the sultan's power that allows one man to run afoul of the entire judicial system
