Photo: Sava Radovanović/TanjuggThe Prime Minister and the rest of Vučić's team warn that the opposition is preparing everything to cause chaos on Sunday in order not to cover up the defeat. The opposition leaders claim the same, only accusing the government of preparing to obstruct the election process and creating chaos
"The opposition led by Dragan Đilas is planning chaos on election day," Prime Minister Ana Brnbić warned two days ago in a guest appearance on TV B92, suggesting, I guess, that on Sunday, December 17, one should stay as far as possible from the polling stations. And then, immediately, her information was confirmed and disseminated by other national television stations and other members of her government in resignation.
According to the information she has, Brnabić revealed, "they (the opposition) practically plan to create chaos at the polling stations from the very morning, bury the RIK and the courts and prosecutor's offices in order to declare victory in the evening, regardless of the results." Before the results are announced and the votes are counted, they will protest and try to seize power across the street, which is a direct collapse of the constitutional order of Serbia."
Then the Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure, Goran Vesić, reminded the people on TV Prva that several times after the victory of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić in the elections, there were protests by those who lost.
He was followed by Finance Minister Siniša Mali. Commenting on the request of opposition parliamentary candidates Marinika Tepić and Miroslav Aleksić that policemen secure polling stations, he said that this is actually proof that the opposition is preparing riots for voting day.
The highest representatives of the government, therefore, said that the election day will not be safe, so that the voters should be careful.
Counter-charges
"If the Prime Minister thinks that things in the country are working, what is she afraid of," answered Miroslav Aleksić, one of the holders of the Serbia Against Violence list.
He, on the other hand, accuses the parties in power that during the election day and night, December 17, they will try to obstruct the elections. In this kind of intimidation, he recognizes "the government's awareness that it is losing elections, that it will lose in a large number of polling stations", and that is why they will try to obstruct the electoral process in those polling stations, especially in Belgrade, because, he says, this is a government that will not be easily defeated. surrender and admit defeat, because they are "Milosevic's students".
A member of the city election commission, Sofija Mandić, sees these frequent reports of bombs in schools as a possible prelude to the week, considering that on December 17, many schools will vote.
"I expect the worst, so if reality proves me wrong, that's good." "I expect that the ruling coalition, if it realizes that it is losing the elections in Belgrade, will take measures that produce chaos, and one of them is this with bombs, because the voting will have to be interrupted and then continued, that will perhaps frighten and disturb people," Mandic believes. .
Apocalyptic theory
And the political scientist Boban Stojanović even believes that, if the election day according to Vučić's list does not go as it should, the government could "declare a state of emergency".
"If they start to lose, I wouldn't even be surprised by such a scenario, if, for example, we have reports of bombs in all of Serbia," said Stojanović during a guest appearance on TV N1.
In that spirit, the holder of the Serbia Against Violence list, Marinika Tepić, posted on her X account a photo of an SNS badge that has police features, and wrote: "I am forbidden to show this on RTS tonight." SNS badges that look like police badges. What is Vučić up to when he shares this with his people? Should the SNS parapolice be guaranteed protection for the elections? I demand that the police urgently investigate how many people have this in their possession and that it be taken from them!”

Very soon it could become obvious whether Milan Radoičić has left Serbia or not
The hospital formed a commission for an extraordinary expert check and informed the health inspection. Cases of death during childbirth in Serbia rarely receive a judicial epilogue.
Two unions of public services supported the request of FDU students for information about RTS employees, since claims appeared in the public that it was a request for "files". The students say they are looking for "public truth about public service."
Among those pardoned is the man who attacked a citizen who came to ask about the street in the office of the mayor of Kosjerić in April. The pardon applies only to one of the two offenses, and the injured party announces a constitutional appeal.
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

The elections are the last chance for the same people to stop changing in the seats of power, to look at the truth in the eyes of where Serbia is in relation to the neighborhood in the region, and construction with incorporation is replaced by shortening hospital lists and building infrastructure for the benefit of all citizens.
