Without fanfare or uniform, war veterans became informal security for student protests. Now they are with the students in front of the blocked RTS buildings. The "Vremena" reporter spent the night with them in Takovska
Retired police colonel Srđan Grekulović, former commander of the Gendarmerie, a role model of an honest and honorable policeman, passed away.
The police, with minor shortcomings, indirectly opposed the authorities, and it is difficult to assess how much of this is due to the new acting director Dragan Vasiljević and how much to Ivica Dačić. It is important that with their behavior they "knocked out" the undisguised intentions of the government. And what the intentions were, those who watched the "special show" of Informer television, where they announced and cheered for the conflict to happen - both the owner of the television and the interlocutors in the studio know
The house of Siniša Jevtić was visited by people who did not show identification and claimed to be "from the police". Jevtić, a veteran wounded at Košare, connects it with the protest in Belgrade and his posts about the "sound cannon" on Facebook.
Branko Momčilović, aka Majkan, tells "Vreme" how he was arrested on the way to Belgrade
Before Saturday's protest, "Vremen" sources from the police say that some members of the service announce that they will not go to work and that their radio stations will not work.
"Do you think that I would send the police to my two children, students?", a colonel in a prominent position in the MUP tells "Vreme". "They are at all the protests - from Belgrade, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, Niš, and now Belgrade again"
"Give us a roof over our heads anywhere, it doesn't have to be here, we are always on the military rankings, so we drop from second place to 25, from fifth to 11. How long?" say the homeless soldiers, tenants of the former "Jakub Kuburović" barracks, which was handed over to an investor.
Director of the Military Security Agency Đuro Jovanić has been promoted again. His career took off since he was carrying Vučić's bag, and he knows how to pay for his advancement - for example, by spying on civilians who disturb the regime
Unlike the protests held in previous years and decades, where the police treated the participants "hostilely" and refused any communication, this is completely different now, as "relative".
"Cobra" commander Colonel Darko Đošić should resign or kill himself as a moral act because of the tire of Vučić's official car. Of course, if everything the Informer published is true
It didn't occur to him, but if it did, and apparently it did, the "Cobras" would "scatter" the protesting students at his beck and call, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said on two occasions. Only - "Cobras" should not listen to him
From Wednesday, patients who come to the Military Medical Academy (VMA) in the central hall, as soon as they pass through the front door, are greeted by buckets for collecting water leaking from the ceiling and a "no trespassing" warning.
What is behind the explosion at the Military Technical Institute that alarmed Žarkovo on Monday, September 9, and the smoke that rose above Cerak
Retired lieutenant colonel Goran Arsenić, a former officer of the 72nd Special Brigade, was brought in by the police for an informational interview only because, at a protest rally, he exposed a "scumbag leader" among "thugs from the SNS" who was incompetent with an "F diagnosis" discharged from the army
The mayor of Loznica, Vidoje Petrović, known by the nickname Knez, resigned, as he had been in that position for 20 years and no one could do anything for him. Petrović submitted his resignation at the beginning of August, but he only activated it now, seeing in which direction the protests against lithium mining are going.
The self-proclaimed "commander-in-chief" Aleksandar Vučić promised the Hungarians, who rebelled against military service, that he would find a solution for them. And what about other national minorities - Bosniaks, Roma, Slovaks, Montenegrins, Romanians, Albanians. Will only Serbs join the Serbian Army?
The "opening" of the new main bus station in Belgrade was another fiasco of Mayor Aleksandar Šapić, a sign that his namesake Vučić "let him down the drain" and that Goran Vesić won in the conflict between the two former officials of the Democratic Party.
"It is not an ordinary march of motor vehicles from the barracks to the training ground and vice versa, this is a big march of almost 250 to 300 km in one direction," retired colonel Najdan Vojinović told "Vreme" and, among others, asked the following questions: "Who was with the driver in the cabin; who was the column commander; how much the drivers were burdened in Batajnica during the preparation of that circus from the display; did they have regular food and water and a medical examination; were the vehicles in good working order..." Until the publication of this issue of "Vremena" there is no answer. Those in charge at all levels of government - civil and military - are silent. No one deserves that, especially not the five victims of the tragedy near Usce, which was caused by a military armored vehicle
Just as in 1991, Vojislav Šešelj with a hawthorn stake deceived the public that he was going to exhume Tito from the "House of Flowers", so Aleksandar Šapić is doing it today, only without weapons against vampires. Under Aleksandar Vučić, however, progress was made in the modernization of radical obsenatory enterprises
If mandatory military service is indeed introduced, the owners of taverns and tents will be the happiest - there's work for them to send them off. As for everyone else - there are too many vagueness in the proposal that is on the table, as if a group of ignorant people played a little with the Serbian Army
Last week, Serbs and Croats were connected by two events - the procurement of 12 Rafal fighter jets, for which Serbia signed the contract, and the return of mandatory military service, which Croatia announced as of January 1 next year, and Serbia has been dragging it out since 2017 for daily political needs. .
President Aleksandar Vučić gave a "motivational speech" to the members of "Cobra", promising them even higher salaries and thundering at "traitors", while officers stood behind him and nodded their heads. You should be with the leader and preserve your privileges
Aleksandar Vučić is persistently addressed by the title "supreme commander", although according to Serbian regulations, it simply does not exist. It is a matter of supreme polity and the creation of a cult of personality, for which the soldiers are not at all to blame - they carry out orders
With contributions of 500 to 1500 euros, 676 workers of the failed "PPT hydraulics" founded "PPT Petoletka doo" in 2019. The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, then expressed his admiration in an emotional rapture and promised them all possible help. And then the state, which he leads, left them in the lurch and let them fail
Under the guise of celebrating the anniversary of "Storm", Vučić is actually planning a "counter rally" in Loznica on August 3 at the "Lagator" stadium in order not to show his supremacy to the citizens who are protesting about lithium mining. Preparations for this quasi-patriotic spectacle are well under way
In a joint action BIA, VBA and MUP arrested three "spies" in Valjevo - engineers employed by "Krušik". No one was ever arrested for the regime's robbery at the weapons factory
