In the new issue: Vučić's dreams

Someone told someone...: Aleksandar Vučić and the National Stadium

Vučić and his associates succeeded in one thing: he made so many false promises (which he now calls dreams) that, as the children say, he "turned the game around", because where everything is a lie, there are no lies. And that's why Serbia should perhaps dream of something else: a community of serious and responsible people who finish what they started on time, because "it's never too late" may make sense for a music reality program, but it can hardly bring any results for the country

For the dead August season, in the days when, fortunately, there is no more war in Kosovo and Metohija (like last year), and when the opposition is disintegrating by itself because it fails to channel the discontent of tens of thousands of people in protests across Serbia, Vučić's team for public relations decided to start the new campaign with a story about his dreams and the future incredible development of Serbia. In a few days, the public was bombarded with announcements of new projects presented by Ana Brnabić and Aleksandar Vučić at a joint press conference.

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.

How the march on Novi Sad failed

What would Vučić look like in front of several thousand migratory rallyists surrounded by cordons and, behind them, a mass of angry Novi Sad citizens? Wasn't his march to Novi Sad canceled even before it was scheduled?
