The "cultural" or "literary" evening in front of the Assembly has begun in earnest - there are no books, but there are folk dishes, burgers, beer and "toi toi" toilets. All they need is for Vojislav Šešelj and Aleksandar Vučić to invite those present to go to Vukovar or to liberate Kosovo and Metohija, and the atmosphere would be complete
"No one can do anything to us, we are stronger than fate," he blares from the loudspeakers set up in front of the National Assembly. The smell of barbecue is in the air. People circulate - figs or burger in one hand, Coca-Cola or beer in the other.
After the food is eaten and the drink is drunk, the paper wrappers and cans usually end up on the hot asphalt.
There is plenty of food, and the biggest crowd is right in front of the stands where free barbecue is distributed. Fortunately, everything was thought of, so it is National Assembly, the house of parliamentarism and democracy in Serbia, woke up this morning surrounded by "toi toi" toilets.
Only later did the Gendarmerie arrive.
This, in short, looks like the atmosphere in front of the Assembly on Vidovdan, June 28. Today, according to the announcements of the progressives, a "literary" or "cultural" evening will be held there.
The area around the Assembly is completely fenced off, and the left and right borders of the assembly are decorated with huge banners: "Blockaders, remember, Serbia is not a genocidal state."
This is the official message of the "cultural evening", and the unofficial one can be guessed based on the graffiti that decorates the fence near the parliament: "Little blockers" and "Rectal Đokica".
"Cultural Evening" Plan
As "Informer" writes, a "panel on the cultural significance of Vidovdan, in which Dragoslav Bokan, Nebojša Kuzmanović, Goran Šarić and Đura Raco will take part" will be held as part of the event.
This will be followed by a musical-folkloric performance by the "Serbian Falcons of Kozare", and then the gathered will have the opportunity to hear a lecture "On courage and heroism" by General Milorad Stupar.
At the end of the event, a 45-minute screening of the film "Witnesses of the Centuries: Visoki Dečani" will be held.
However, it is questionable how much the program of the event interests the attendees, who wandered around the wider city center and occupied the surrounding cafes.
It is easy to recognize them, because many of them wear t-shirts with "patriotic motifs": in addition to the standard "No Surrender", there is, for example, "Every Woman Would Die to Kill a Wolf" decorated with the Serbian flag.
At the center of the event is a certain minister, i.e. a prominent personality of the progressives: Darko Glišić, Milos Vucevic, Diana Hrkalović, Aleksandar Vulin... The President of Serbia is still not there, and the question is whether he will dare to come.
Although, it would be a real shame if the first among us missed such a meeting, tailored to his needs. All that is missing is for Vojislav Šešelj and Aleksandar Vučić to invite those present to Vukovar, and the atmosphere would be complete.
