If anything, apart from the great rebellion of the people, protest, reductions rating of the Serbian Progressive Party and the crisis of power spawned a rebellion students which lasts for months, that is the resurrection of Zorana Mihajlović among the progressives.
Former minister from the ranks Social Media-a, she was left without a chair in the Government in 2022, and soon she left the party as well, she had a "quarrel" with Vučić and other companions and the media favorable to them, and then, two years later, their love started again.
That's how it is Zorana Mihajlovic, former Minister of Construction and Infrastructure, who signed the contract for modernization of the railway to Hungary, of which it is a part and Railway station in Novi Sad, returned to the radical narrative and started praising the moves of the government and criticizing those who oppose it.
Return to radical roots
In recent days, Mihajlović has been a guest in the media who called her names after the fall of the canopy and demanded her responsibility, such as "Informer" editor-in-chief Dragan J. Vučićević.
"Where is Zorana Mihajlović, who was a minister at the time? Does anyone mention her and why not," Vučićević said in a guest appearance on "Pink" television shortly after the canopy fell.
Zorana Mihajlović did not want to comment on Dragan J. Vučićević's statement at the time, but said that they were not on the best of terms.
"I didn't really look or read that statement. But it's nothing new, he's been attacking me for 15 years," Zorana Mihajlović told "Danas" in November last year.
A few months later, DJ Vučićević and Zorana Mihajlović apparently reconciled, so she, appearing on his television, thanked "Informer" for caring for the president, and called Vučić "a gladiator who always fights for his country."
A little later, President Vučić also hinted in a guest appearance on the same television that the former vice-president of the party was returning to SNS.
"I am unusually strict with my party, and there were other parties that resisted the revolution, but you can't find any that left the party in such difficult times. And even some, like Mrs. Mihajlović, are returning," explained Vučić.
Mihajlovic later denied those allegations, saying that she was not in the party.
The new awakening of Zorana Mihajlović
Since the fall of the canopy, a frequent guest of the media, she has been especially active in recent days, going from pro-regime television to pro-regime television and criticizing the move of the prosecution and the arrest of former ministers.
"It is one of the most brutal hunts, first of all, for Vučić's head," said Zorana Mihajlović for "Informer", among other things.
She repeated the same on "Pink".
"They are only interested in Vučić's head, hunting for him because that is the only way to come to power, if Vučić is not there, whatever, but he is gone," Mihajlović said on "Pink" TV, and later she told "Informer": "Either the state will survive and we with it, or we will no longer have Serbia."
She spoke about the "hunt for Vučić's head" on TV "Prva".
She was also a guest at K1 and assessed that the current protests in Serbia have visibly weakened and that, as she says, they represent a project that is not well organized.
She pointed out that the change of government cannot happen on the street, but through the political process.
"We have to see the other side in a political movement that has its own ideas and programs," said Mihajlovic.
In the days after the incidents in Novi Pazar, she also spoke about Rasim Ljajić and Sulejman Ugljanin, also on "Informer".
The sudden numerous appearances of Zorana Mihajlović in the media come later TOK shares in which Tomislav Momirović, the former minister with whom she shared power, was arrested, and the process was also initiated against Goran Vesić, who was not arrested - because he is in the hospital.
Since they first demanded an investigation against her back in November, the leading people of certain media are now calling her as a regular interviewee.
Thus, Zorana Mihajlović found herself again with the head of radicals, Vojislav Šešelj, who in February of this year, also on "Informer", pointed out that the state's major action in the fight against corruption should not bypass former minister Zorana Mihajlović.
The question is whether Zorana turned back to her roots, wanting to avoid the investigation.
And she herself soon canopy collapse talked about the investigation.
She told Euronews Serbia a few days after the accident that the real truth about the accident at the railway station in Novi Sad must be known from the police and the prosecution and that the public must hear who is to blame for what happened. She stated that it is clear to everyone that there was a mistake and that responsibility should be borne for it, and that the investigation should show whether someone skipped a step or someone did not act with due care in the name of the profession.
Zoran (again) among the progressives
When she became a member of SNS, when the party was founded, she soon became a minister.
"Since Aleksandar Vučić spectacularly resurrected in our lives, there she is somewhere around him, as an on-call corrective, as an allegedly unequivocal symbolic proof that Serbia has not moved out of its mother continent, even the planet, and that in the end everything will be fine", Teofil Pančić wrote in "Vremen". when Zorana Mihajlović was deleted from the list of ministers in 2022.
"Now," Pančić continued, "the fact that nothing in these ten years has ever looked like anything will ever be okay, that's a specific law of dramaturgy: the happy ending is the strongest if things seemed hopeless before."
"It's just that there's no happiness here, and it seems that the only one who is genuinely surprised and offended by this is Zorana Mihajlović herself. So that it doesn't even appear that she wasn't surprised and offended enough, the SNS Information Service made sure that already in the first hours of the minister's still informal 'ex', she began to express herself with the cynicism and contempt long reserved for the opposition and other dubious elements."
A few months later, when she decided to leave the party, Mihajlovic, explaining to the "Nova" portal why she decided to leave the SNS, said that the Serbian Progressive Party is no longer the same organization she joined 13 years earlier.
She added that she does not like the transformation experienced by the party she joined in 2010, because, as she says, there are more and more radical moves.
At the time, she denied allegations by former party colleagues that she left the progressives because she no longer held a ministerial position.
Asked why she did not leave the party earlier, the long-time minister said that she did not want to make a decision immediately when she decided to no longer be in the government.
Two years have passed, and it seems that SNS and Mihajlovic have decided to create a new happy end.
There are no more bad words about each other, what's more - there are mutual praises, and Mihajlović, by all accounts, is returning to Vučić's flock.
A short biography of Zorana Mihajlović
She received her doctorate in economics in Belgrade. It was originally a member of G17 plus. One of the founders of SNS, a long-time minister of energy, who was in constant conflict with Dušan Bajatović, the director of Srbijagas, and who allegedly advocated for Serbia to become less energy dependent on Russia. However, she never implemented her ideas.
From the position of Minister of Energy, she moved to the position of Minister of Construction, allegedly again due to the dispute with Russia.
She left SNS in 2023, allegedly because the European path of progressives was stopped, so she formed her own movement that never took off.
She fell into oblivion for a year and a half, until the fall of the canopy, when criticism followed and on her account, and then the narrative changed, when Mihajlovic again became acceptable to the progressives and the media close to them, criticizing the protests and praising the government.
