Serbia is exposed to the robbery of raw materials, the majority of the population lives in poverty, while wealth is enjoyed only by the class of corrupt politicians and their families and godfathers who have private planes, Lamborghinis and McLarens

After Prime Minister Ana Brnabić wrote a column dedicated to the "ignorant" campaign director of the Move-change movement Sava Manojlović and entitled "It's not Savo's fault that he doesn't know" published on the official website of the Government of Serbia, Manojlović told her that she is the Prime Minister of Serbia, not the Rio Tinto company.

Brnabić should know that among the countries that base their development only on the merciless exploitation of resources, none is a particularly nice place to live, Manojlović told her.

Because, he says, these are countries exposed to the plundering of raw materials, and the majority of the population lives in poverty, while wealth is enjoyed only by the class of corrupt politicians and their families and godfathers who have private planes, Lamborghinis and McLarens.

According to Manojlović, Ana Brnabić refers to Norway, although that country bases only a tenth of its economy on the exploitation of natural resources. The Norwegian pension fund does benefit from oil exploitation, but at one time it withdrew all funds from Rio Tinto and ran away from the company headfirst.

Manojlović claims that no European country mines lithium, and he compared the intention to exploit lithium in Serbia to the mining of gold and diamonds in Africa, where "foreigners make a profit, and we are left with red, poisoned rivers, ecological refugees who leave hearths, destroyed houses and destroyed nature".

"Ana Bnabić is using the government's website to publish an article about me, and I can't find any information about her university and when she graduated," said Manojlović and said that he stayed in Serbia because he believes that a society can be created in which party affiliation will not matter. booklet, but who is worth how much.

Vučić's billboards and reality

There is, literally, no difference between the one who claims it is day in the middle of the night, or the one who claims to be a giraffe, from the claims we read on billboards: that Vučić is working to unify Serbs and that Serbia is doing better and better day by day.

The Prime Minister misused the website of the Government of Serbia to deal with the opposition

On the official website of the Government of Serbia, Prime Minister Ana Brnabić insulted members of the opposition and called them foreign mercenaries, compared them to horses and frogs, and wrote something about the "turn the lamb in front of the Parliament" movement, which, I guess, was meant to be humorous.
