The darker the skin, the harder life was

"There are also many people like me in the Netherlands, we are a mixture of Indonesians and Dutch, and there are, of course, Indonesians as well. And people have a hard time understanding the difference between us. The difference is in our history"

Interview, Vukosava Crnjanski, director of CRTE

Chronicle of the decline of democracy

"It is not a problem in the relationship between what was said and what was kept silent in the ODIHR report. We should not blame the authors of the report for thinking that they have left room for mutually exclusive interpretations. Because they are not. The problem is in our backyard, in that it has become a practice to convince the domestic public not to see what is completely obvious to them (...) In the shortest and as simplified as possible, the erasure of the border between the state and the party that ODIHR points out means that the elections they are getting to the point where only the government that issues them can get them"

Orthodoxy in Ukraine

Faith on the crucifixion

What is the religious situation in Ukraine today? What are and what will be the consequences of the religious division among the Orthodox on society and human relations? How many and what kind of relationships and loyalties are intertwined there? How many believers and parishes have transferred from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and what about those who have not and will not do so? What will happen to the gap between Moscow and Constantinople? How do they see all this and what do they say to Vreme, the Metropolitan of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine Yevstratiy Zorya, a deacon of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church who, fearing for his safety, wanted to remain anonymous, the Russian historian Nadezhda Belyakova, who had to leave Moscow to protect his daughter, and University of Regensburg professor Klaus Buchenau

Metal detectors in schools would normalize violence

After the tragedy in "Ribnikar", Vučić spoke about 1200 police officers for schools. Now they are calling for metal detectors at the entrances, additional security, searches of children... And maybe we should have just listened to the experts, talked to the children and dealt with prevention

Investor urbanism: They concrete our life!

Many values - solidarity, coexistence with nature, relations between neighbors, healthy socialization and healthy development of children - are partly related to the living space. And they are stealing him from us. Concreting green areas, they concrete our life

Kosovo, today and tomorrow

Serbian community in Kosovo, life in limbo

What can Serbs in Kosovo hope for in the coming months? How do the announcements of all the elections - from the American ones, through those for the European Parliament, to possibly Kosovo - affect their position? To what extent are the attacks on the Serbian community part of the pre-election campaign of Self-Determination, and to what extent is it an attempt to change the situation on the ground to such an extent that possible changes in geopolitical circumstances would not have any impact? What are all the nuances in the events in Kosovo and Metohija that are mostly not visible from Belgrade

Read to the children what they choose

"Today, dozens of domestic films and series are filmed, and hardly any of them are intended for the youngest. Also, I noticed that our children are growing up with musical hits from our childhood. This speaks of the fact that very few authors are seriously engaged in composing new children's songs whose template would be contemporary children's poetry."

Verdict of the Supreme Court of Croatia: A Serb is better than Severina

If this is happening to a "very popular and wealthy" singer, as the judge of the Supreme Court of Croatia said, then what can a "small and weak woman" expect? What will happen when you face some powerhouse that swims like a fish in water in these and such systems

Progressive Apologies: False and Hypocritical

Vučić's "sorry" is an illustrative example of his entire rule, and even his personality - as "sorry" is to him, he is as sincere, responsible, ready to repent and ready to change
