Breaking the children of SerbiaRelja Stanojević, a student of the Academy of Arts, was kept in prison for 17 days without any need. They harmed him, but they failed to intimidate him
He has been working as a journalist since 1991. Since 2007, he has been the editor of the foreign policy column in the weekly "Vreme". He has written for numerous German-speaking newspapers, currently for Berlin's TAZ and the German public broadcaster MDR.

Until now, Aleksandar Vučić has taken care that party-state repression does not irritate Europeans too much. That is no longer the case. The game became rougher. The symbol of the bloody fist of Vučić and Dačić is disturbingly reminiscent of the resistance fist
The progressive government increasingly loses all sense of proportion. Now she has sent BIA agents to intimidate the employees of the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments who believe that Vučić and his brothers are illegally demolishing the General Staff. Party repression is more and more exposed
From May of last year to November of this year, the opposition parties went from "Serbia against violence" to "Corruption kills". Opposition leaders are repeating the same things and hoping for a different result
The degree of state repression in Serbia is inversely proportional to the rating of Aleksandar Vučić and the Serbian progressive elite: the stronger they feel that their power is threatened, the greater the repression will be
The triumphant return of narcissistic, notorious liar and conspiracy theorist Donald Trump to the White House is a powerful blow to liberal values in the Western Hemisphere that could prove deadly and finally set off the perfect storm that has swept over the world
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić learned the lessons of last year's civil protests after the mass murders. After the tragedy in Novi Sad, he partially changed his defensive tactics in order to curb the threatening wave of dissatisfaction at the start
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, should have gone among the pain-stricken people of Novi Sad without even a moment's hesitation. He had a place there, more than any other official
The removal and restoration of the traffic lights at the intersection near Ušće, which has been turned into a roundabout, is another experiment in vivo among the citizens of Belgrade.
What is possible in the country of Serbia? Among other things, that the state and parastatal institutions work on the heads of ordinary citizens, and that they have no idea what is happening until they are hit with full force. Maybe you are among the victims, right now, at this very moment
With the targeted attack on the soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, Israel attacked the order that the world organization has been building since the end of the Second World War, and of which the Jewish state is an integral part. If no rules apply anymore, only conflicts remain
Behind the flurry of words that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić uttered on Friday night about Kosovo hides impotence and capitulation, so it was appropriate to turn the topic to the waiting lists in hospitals in Serbia without Kosovo, which he, of course, will abolish as a matter of urgency
One specter is circling Europe, the specter of the extreme right. In the regional elections in the East German states of Thuringia and Saxony held on Sunday, that specter became a reality: Alternative for Germany, which is colluding with Nazism, emerged as the strongest political force.
The celebration in front of the Old Palace was preceded by the reception of the Serbian Olympians by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, at Andrić's Wreath. Their glory is his glory. It was a beautiful picture of the normality of a country. Unlike the anti-lithium mining protest held on Saturday
The image of the few and tired environmental activists the morning after in Pionirski Park is the image of all the previous protests against the autocratic government of Aleksandar Vučić and its intentions. Mining or non-mining of lithium is not, however, the core of the problem in Serbia
Adhering to the principle "to the king, to the people of the Jadra valley", the organizers of the protest against lithium insist that this is not, God forbid, an attempt to overthrow the government. Vučić himself sharpened this whole ecological story about the fear of poisoning into a political battle for and against him, convinced that he will win again
The citizens were carried away by the new litiunian uprising, thinking that it worked once, so why not the second time. Circumstances are now, however, quite different. The government will not just give up on the idea that Serbian lithium will see the light of day and western markets by 2028
Lithium is turning into the most expensive currency in the global economic and political competition. From Berlin's point of view, Serbia has absolutely no right to deny Europe its important sites, and why should it renounce its own progress? In this light, it is not surprising that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz came to Belgrade on an ad hoc basis to smile together with Vučić while the lithium agreements are being signed and with his presence help the progressive propaganda machine to endear the "Jadar" project to the citizens of Serbia.
Donald Trump narrowly escaped death in an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. The presidential elections are less than four months away. The shots fired at the former US president represent a turning point in the campaign, which will be marked in the future with a picture of him defiantly raising his fist with a bloodied face.
The French certainly voted for changes, but what kind? It is clear that the vast majority did not want the right-wing National Rally and no longer support Emmanuel Macron's policies. But what kind of politics do they want? The security and future of the European Union largely depends on who will lead France and in what direction
How does someone come to think that they can do anything, except, of course, to even bite the hand that feeds them? That he is untouchable, unpunished, protected, special and consequently arrogant and reckless
Joe Biden appeared old and tired in the first TV duel of the presidential candidates, and Donald Trump, as usual, fired bursts of notorious lies - and emerged from the fight as a convincing winner
Aleksandar Šapić is once again the mayor of Belgrade, and the Bosnian-Herzegovinian actor and writer Feđa Štukan has been banned from entering Serbia because, of course, he poses a threat to the security of the country. Belgrade, good night, Serbia, sleep well
"Controversial businessman" Aca Bosanac is the new owner of "Poslednje chance" on Tašmajdan. This is just the latest drop of progressive acid spilling over the urban face of Belgrade
The "Biramo Beograd" coalition announced that at yesterday's session of the Municipal Election Commission in Vračar, there was a "gross violation of the electoral will of the citizens". Why is the smallest Belgrade municipality so important for Vučić
The new leader of the Belgrade opposition is Savo Manojlović. His list "I am Belgrade" independently won 21 out of 110 mandates in the Assembly of Belgrade. The "Biramo Beograd" coalition led by the Green-Left Front will have 14 deputies
Boycotters can rejoice, on the principle that the neighbor's cow is mooing. Those who stood up to Vučić's party-state machinery suffered a flood. In the opposition ranks, the winners are Savo Manojlović in Belgrade and Dr. Dragan Milić in Niš
