Extraordinary parliamentary elections: (not) ready for Vučić

In an irony of history, the death of Ratko Mladić just before the calling of extraordinary parliamentary elections brought the progressives back to their radical settings. The question of whether he is a criminal or a hero is, however, at this moment only a distraction from the essence: the conflict between the principles of the leader and the principles of the republic in the spirit of the student slogan "Either Serbia, or the mafia".

Vučić is against everyone, but really

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, backed himself into a corner, separating himself from everyone, including his own party. That is why, when he steps up against 250 people of integrity from the Student List, he will finally really be alone, as he has been bizarrely boasting for years.
