The Serbian radical clique from the nineties of the last century, in accordance with the ideology of its leader Vojislav Šešelj, in addition to Josip Broz Tito, as the "greatest villain of the Serbian people", also designated two Serbs as his main executors - Aleksandar Ranković and Slobodan Penezić Krcun. Three decades have passed, so the radicals transformed into progressives now have their own "Krcuna" and "Leka" - Aleksandar Vulin and Miloš Vučević. And new enemies to deal with.
Vucevic is a person who, as the Minister of Defense and, especially, the president of the party, runs away from journalists like the devil from a cross. All anniversaries and ceremonies in the defense system have been declared secret and only for members of the selected media. However, it was this Vucevic who publicly announced his showdown with the military union, and that with rather unmeasured words. With this, he made it clear to everyone that he was not interested in the Constitution and attacked the Military Union of Serbia and its president Novica Antic. The abuse of the Military Security Agency (VBA) was taken for granted here, because it is run by people who act on the "behest" of the minister, disregarding the law.
SCENARIO FROM HAPPY
When the illegal arrest of Antic and his associates could not pass before the honorable judge for preliminary proceedings in the Novi Sad High Court, on the order of Vučević, an extrajudicial panel was convened, which, via electronic means, made a decision on the detention of the president of the Military Union for 30 days. It should be recalled here that after the assassination attempt on Zoran Đinđić in February 2003 near the "Limes" hall in New Belgrade, the investigating judge on duty ordered Dejan Milenković Bagzi to be detained for up to eight days, so that the hastily convened extra-judicial panel of the then Fourth Municipal Court passed the decision to release him. No one has ever been held accountable for that. And Djindjic finished as he finished.
When those who ordered the persecution of Novica Antic saw that everything was not going as they had planned, and it was about the top of the state and the security services, they played another card - to declare him a Russian spy, who, in addition to "giving away" military secrets to the Russians, is trying to and to "infiltrate" the West and thereby spy additionally. Of course, that farce also mentions "age-old Serbian enemies" like Viola von Kramon. This scenario seems as if it was written by Božidar Spasić, Ljuban Karan and other guests of Pink and Happy from 00-24, intelligence officers who know everything.
What is their goal? Nothing else but to create a double enemy out of Antic, who works for both Russia and the West. In this pre-election period, it goes best with "subscribers" of the regime media. And it is also interesting that the regime tabloids do not write about the case of Antic, they don't even have news that he was arrested, they will do it when they get a "wink from above".
Why is Antic a possible "Serbian Alfred Dreyfus"? So, the man who was sentenced to life imprisonment in France in 1894 for espionage in favor of Germany, and after a few years was acquitted. That affair is still cited today as the most famous example of unjust accusations and conviction of innocent people. It turned out that the spy was someone else entirely.
BALKAN SPY
Portal Politiko published an article on Tuesday in which Antic is declared to be a Russian spy without a single fact; they also write that he traveled to Russia, as he traveled to Brussels. In this text, there are manuscripts of the military security services, unreformed since the time of the JNA. It doesn't matter to them that spies from their own ranks immigrate and carry state secrets or that officers deal with the protection of marijuana plantations. But it is important to them that the director of the VBA on Tuesday, on the anniversary of the Service, is awarding a plaque to citizen Aleksandar Vulin, the man who was digging "Jovanjica" in work overalls.
On the other hand, it is worth noting that Antic is the first trade unionist to be detained, after the Polish trade union leader Lech Walesa. But while Antić is behind bars, the paramilitary leader in Banjska, Milan Radoičić, is not only free, but his "soldiers" are organizing a birthday celebration for him on Kopaonik, calling him "commander". Each mode has its own Arcanum. Due to Radoicic's "war games", four people lost their lives, more were arrested by the Kosovo police, but he is still "walking around Serbia". Antic is in custody on the charge that he embezzled some union money by giving solidarity aid to the membership. Those 18 million dinars, for which Antić and his associates are charged, Radoičić and company spent for a one-week wintering.
As for Antic, he is calm, say the lawyers who visited him. All decisions made on solidarity aid are legally and legally covered by the decisions of the Board of Directors of the union. Everyone is sure that Antic will endure his hunger strike, because he is an ascetic man, a non-commissioned officer of the Military Police who has been through a lot in his career. Although he graduated from university, his higher education was never recognized, nor was he given a rank, because of his "long tongue" and union struggle.
RULES FOR TERMINATION OF MILITARY UNION
Vučević, however, achieved what he wanted - he shut down the Military Union of Serbia. He now exists only on paper. The engagement of VBA members bore fruit - union groups, due to various pressures, are bursting like a soap bubble.
And what does it look like in practice? Someone, for example, is a non-commissioned officer or an officer and has a chance to go on a peacekeeping mission, he passed all the tests, from knowledge of the English language to physical fitness, and then he goes through a "security check". And so a VBA ensign came to a senior officer and said: "Look, everything is fine, but there is one problem - either he disbands from the Military Union or nothing from the 'blue helmets'". And what is a man to do? He thinks about the family's existence, he was already counting on that money, so he bows down and dismembers himself.
Example two. Some non-commissioned officer works in his place in the south of Serbia, lives with his parents, has a relatively decent salary for that area, his wife works for a fixed term in the army... And then a "security guard" calls him to tell him that he will be going to a command post somewhere in Vojvodina and that his wife's contract will not be extended unless... The reader guesses that "except" - if he is not a member of the Military Union. In an even worse position are contract soldiers, who are directly blackmailed - they have no choice.
To the author of this text, one officer "fed up" as he was put in front of a dilemma - not only dismemberment from the union, but also public renunciation, or no continuation of the military training required for the rank of major. A broken man - he left the army because he has a management degree at the same time. The extent to which the military system collapses in this way does not need to be emphasized.
And finally, the case of March 4 from Zrenjanin, where military policemen came to "arrest" the propaganda material of the trade union group in that garrison - ballpoint pens, lighters, pendants and flyers. Even the commander of the unit objected to it, and then the military policemen, normally subordinate to him, called someone on the phone and answered that it was "ordered from above". So much for military hierarchy.
