"Zelenović, pack up, I've come to banish you and Šapčani to prison in Sremska Mitrovica... Well, we'll build a prison in Šabac, to expose it, to look at it, to spit on it for every day they spent robbing us." From all the cities where the Serbian Right exists, the most fucked-up people will come to stand behind us, and I see you are also fucked up, and let's say to him: 'Enough, Zelenović! Šabac will be free,'" vividly said the leader of the Serbian Right, Miša Vacić, on Friday, November 8, at the founding session of the local board of this party in Šabac. Even though the idea of exhibiting people in cages in an enclosed space in the world died about seventy years ago, after blacks from the Congo were exhibited for the last time at the World Exhibition in Belgium in 1958, Vacić said what he said, and no one from the authorities criticized him. The Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Šabac asked the police to determine whether the leader of the Serbian Right, Miša Vacić, threatened the mayor of Šabac, Nebojša Zelenović, at the founding session of the party committee. The preliminary investigation procedure is ongoing. For hate speech, since two weeks ago, another pre-investigation procedure has been conducted before the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Vranje, and two more are on the way.
HATE TOUR
"Well, Zelenović, here I am in Šabac, your Šabac," Miša Vacić greeted the mayor of Šabac, Nebojša Zelenović. The phrase "your mouth" rang sadly in the hall, as if it had been torn from some epic poem of the Pocosov cycle. However, Vacić had in mind an allusion to the First and Second World Wars. "We brought down the Austro-Hungarian Empire," Vacić continued. "Here in Šabac, the forces were concentrated to give them the final blow, to push them down the Cer river into the Serbian Drina and defeat them." Well, we will do the same with Zelenović and his criminals". Vacić mentioned Austria-Hungary, probably alluding to "foreign agencies" (read: Western) against which he repeatedly called for a fight, including the weekly "Vreme".
The mayor of Šabac announced the statement issued on Saturday by the Zajedno za Serbia party, of which Zelenović is the president. "For Vučić's needs, Miša Vacić today has the same role as a scarecrow for the decent world", comparing it to the period when Šešelj and Vučić served Milošević. Zelenović called Miša Vacić's party a "paramilitary faction of the Serbian Progressive Party". "Vacić, with the support of the Serbian Progressive Party, travels around Serbia and curses, threatens and insults peaceful citizens with one goal and one message: 'if you don't want Vučić, this will be your government,'" the statement said.
The Association for the Protection of Constitutionality and Legality issued a statement on the occasion of Miša Vacić's speech in Šabac, in which they assessed that threats to kill the mayor of Šabac, Nebojša Zelenović, represent a threat to elementary political rights in Serbia. "The greatest fear is caused by the connection between groups that engage in intimidation and are connected to the ruling structure in Serbia," the Association stated in a statement. They reminded that a similar situation was visible during the recent protest in front of RTS, when a counter-protest of members of fan groups and public sector employees was organized to the protest of citizens during the visit of President Aleksandar Vučić.
It was Vacic's second outburst of hate speech in just two weeks. Namely, in mid-October in Bujanovac, Vacić called representatives of the local government "alleged Serbs". Vacić called them all "domestic traitors" and accused them of "crowding with Shiptars", so, he concluded, they should be expelled as such. However, it seems that Vacić does not lose hope in the future of Serbia, and everything will change, as he says, when representatives of the Serbian Right come to power. Because of this speech, since two weeks ago, a pre-investigation procedure has also been conducted against Vacić before the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Vranje.
On Monday, most people in Serbia rested on a public holiday. But not Miša Vacić, who in Pancevo sent threats to the vice-president of the Freedom and Justice Party, Marinika Tepić, whom he claims is burdened by them, so he mentions only him and Vučić in the assembly. "Marinika, understand - we will not stop! "The Serbian right will create committees and liberate Serbia," Vacić said. When asked by the N1 journalist what "we will not stop" means, Vacić replied that he will not stop with the establishment of the board.
On Tuesday, November 12, Vacić fired his rifle for the third time in Svrljig, again during the founding session of the local committee of the Serbian Right. He praised the local government for the "fight for the Serbian peasant" and announced the expulsion of the "yellows" from all institutions after the elections, "Blic" reports. "The yellows will no longer rule as they do today in Šabac, Paraćin and in the Municipality of Stari Grad in Belgrade" and that "they will not allow vampires to become in power," Vacić was quoted as saying by "Južne Vesti". Vacić describes himself as "the greatest antibiotic for domestic traitors". "Let the yellow prosecutors continue to investigate my speeches," said Vacić. The division is clear: whoever follows Vacić is good, and whoever dares to question him is a "traitor", "yellow" or _____ (fill in yourself). But Miša Vacić was certainly not afraid or worried about the prosecution's interest in his case, given that it would not be the first time that the court took it into consideration.
MIŠA VACIĆ'S DEVELOPMENTAL PATH
Unable to bear waking up under the sun of another's sky, Vacić returned to Serbia from Germany in 2004. It remains to be seen whether the decisive factor for Vacić's return was his great love for his native country, which he often points out, or the fact that, perhaps, he simply could not stand so much democracy around him anymore, so he had to leave. Vacić (born in 1985) went to Germany with his parents at the beginning of the 16s, when he was 2004 years old. He returned in XNUMX, having completed higher economic school, and began to educate the Serbian people, who, according to him, were at that time "under democratic repression".
He joined the SNP Naši movement in 1389, distinguished himself by his hard work and commitment. When the convicted war criminal Radovan Karadžić was arrested in 2008, the SNP organized a protest, and Vacić was in the front lines. A similar thing happened again in 2011 when Ratko Mladić (also a convicted war criminal) was arrested. Several SNP activists were then detained because they pasted posters with Ratko Mladić's image on Zoran Đinđić Boulevard in Belgrade.
He especially stood out before the announced and ultimately canceled Pride Parade in 2009. As a result, in July 2013, the First Basic Court in Belgrade sentenced Miša Vacić to a one-year suspended sentence for three crimes: spreading discrimination against the LGBT population, illegal possession of weapons and obstructing an official in the performance of his duties. Vacić has one answer to all the sanctions imposed on him by the court - it is about repressive democratic politics and "yellow" courts, which must be stood in the way.
The four-year probationary period had not yet expired when Miša Vacić boasted that he was working as an advisor in the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, handing out business cards on the famous painted train that left the old railway station for Kosovo in January 2017. In the confusion that arose, the director of the Office, Marko Đurić, denied the claims that Vacić was employed by the Office, explaining that the position of advisor does not exist in the systematization of office positions. However, Vacić did not give up explaining that he is the advisor to the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, and that he was recommended for that position by his "many years of experience in activism around Kosovo". "I primarily dealt with humanitarian issues, and through my involvement, people who make decisions became interested, based on the trust that my work instilled, and I was contacted, and I accepted," Vacić explained then in a guest appearance on N1. The public in Serbia never received an answer to the question of who called him to work in that position and when.
However, it turned out that the contract did exist, and Miša Vacić was fired, with the explanation that he had violated work discipline and the internal rules of the service. A year later, Vacić founded the Serbian Right in Zemun. This September, in the local elections in Medveđa, the Serbian right won its first councilor seat in a municipality in Serbia. However, even that did not go without the harassment of others, in this case the voters, considering that in the days before the elections, Vacić published recordings of the printing of ballots, as well as the list of users of the National Kitchen.
Vacić supports cooperation with Russia and China, arming and the return of mandatory military service. However, apart from professional work, Miša Vacić emphasizes working on herself. Through the name-documentary film "Who is Miša Vacić" from February this year (initially titled simply "Miša", available on the YouTube channel of the SNP), Vacić tried to make the public know him better, and here's how.
'where are you, KRALJEVIĆ MARKO, WE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU
"By his own admission, he always felt as if he belonged to another time, when true moral values reigned. Time of honor, dignity and chivalry", is one of the opening sentences in the film (called a documentary) about Miša Vacić from February this year
If it weren't for his harsh attitude and wicked language, one could think that Miša Vacić is just a gentle human soul: in love with history, he has love for his country, he loves children, and when he achieves, he hangs out with them at school. Let's just remember his visit last year to the "Jelena Ćetković" School Day celebration in Zvezdara, where he took a photo with the students, and then claimed that he had come privately at the invitation of a friend, and not as a politician, while the school principal excused herself that she wasn't really expecting him.
It could be said that since the beginning of his political career, Miša Vacić has been trying to cultivate a more refined side, or at least some form of what Vacić imagines as refinement. He points out that he regularly reads newspapers and books. It promotes a healthy life and sportsmanship, so many years ago it gave Voždovac an outdoor gym in Kraljevačka street. The author of these lines, who happened to spend the first three years of her student life in Belgrade, passing through this park every day, can only say that she felt very safe all the time because of the unwritten rule that, if you are not from the area, you cannot enter that park at night or today do not enter; but at the same time tense due to the frequent close encounters with the team that practices there regularly, that she couldn't wait to move away from there.
Actress Ivana Žigon, who performed at the charity concerts "For our Kosovo and Metohija" in Herceg Novi, spokeswoman for the Serbian Right Ivana Borić, president of the Association of War Disabled Soldiers of Serbia of All Wars Saša Dujović, creationist and suspected quack and chief pharmacist Miroljub Petrović (who is under investigation because it is suspected that he endangered the health of several people with his practice), former security chief of Ratko Mladić Branislav Puhalo ("as far as humanity is concerned, Vacić is a good man", he says in the film Puhalo), deputies of SNS- and Vladimir Đukanović Đuka and party sympathizer actor Zoran Janković, as well as Vacić's young "comrade" (members of the movement refer to each other as such) Stefan Janković.
Stefan Janković played perhaps the best role in this almost-acted film, saying that he particularly admires Vacić for being able to "read a book of 250 pages in just one evening and discuss it". Janković also tries not particularly convincingly to convince the viewers of Vacić's cosmopolitanism, recounting how Vacić achieved excellent cooperation with the Albanians in Preševska dolina, when SNP representatives went to "visit the migrants". But let's just remember what words Miša Vacić put in the same sentence just a few weeks ago in Bujanovac: "alleged Serbs", "local traitors", "collaboration with Shiptars", "expel".
On top of all that, Miša Vacić is a man who does not like certain houses and journalists, including our paper, which he occasionally gargles and then rinses his mouth. As he warned in the film about himself (but also in numerous public appearances before and after that), "the safety of all citizens is threatened from within, precisely by those who allow themselves to be called independent and so-called associations of journalists, who are trying to undermine and destroy the defense and security system of the Republic of Serbia".
The list of those whom Miša Vacić does not like is long: Zelenović, Tepić, the entire ruling party in Bujanovac, the LGBT+ population, journalists. When all that hatred is concentrated in one place, the question arises, does Miša Vacić love anything but his country, which we have heard so many times?
Yes, indeed.
Vacić loves dogs. In one of the final shots of the film, he plays with dogs in Pionirski Park and tells how, in addition to the fight for Serbia, he believes that one should fight for "the life of noble animals such as dogs." And just like one such dog, like a black Rottweiler similar to the one that appeared on the cover of "Illustrated Politika" a year and a half ago with the inscription "Dogs are released", it seems that Miša Vacić has also taken off the chain these days and is traveling around Serbia and insults. And so far, no one has stood in his way.
