Progressive capital by measure of profit

Field defense of Belgrade

A group of people has been trying to prevent the demolition of the Old Sava Bridge for weeks. Why do they do that? What are their days like? What are their plans

Interview: Pavle Cicvarić

We must continue to fight in the streets

"It is our duty to insist that the topic of the canopy fall in Novi Sad remains current so that it does not end up like 'Ribnikar' and Dubona and Malo Orašje, and many other tragedies. If we don't manage to find those responsible, I'm afraid to think what the next tragedy could be... It seems to me that the more time passes, the tragedies become bigger and bigger, and that if it becomes everyday, we won't react anymore... And where will that red line be then?"

Interview: Srđan Verbić

Buying a foreign diploma

Those foreign universities would come to us and just rent space - no one wants to build a campus for a branch of a university. The only thing that would be gained in this way is that the students who enroll in it have a degree from a foreign university. The conditions, the environment, and the atmosphere that that university provides, and even the knowledge, would not be the same and all this would be because of the diploma.

What will happen to REM?

Black hole for the media

The mandate of the outgoing Council is remembered for the absence of a sincere initiative to organize the local media space. Also, the deadlines for granting expired TV and radio licenses were broken, and the famous fifth license for national coverage was not granted. Their last move was the unanimously voted allocation of a regional frequency to Informer TV, and that was against the law. Are better days coming

Culture of memory, Center in Banja Koviljača

A stop on the way to a better life

This is a story about people fleeing from suffering, from wars and unimaginable poverty, about their stay in Serbia, about some past times when Romanians and Chileans sought salvation in Yugoslavia, about the nineties and our refugees from Croatia who had nowhere to go, and then about the years after 2008 when people from some distant world come. They all have one thing in common - they wanted peace and to settle down

Penalties for domestic violence

"Judges are kind to bullies"

A man from Kikinda who beat his wife with a pistol and fired four bullets into her was sentenced to only one year and four months in prison. "The light sentences for domestic violence are a consequence of the fact that prosecutors do not treat such cases as attempted murder," Vanja Macanović from the Autonomous Women's Center told Vreme.

Workers and employers in Serbia

Who skis and who breaks the law

There is talk again about the problem of fake sick leave, and claims are being made that around 40.000 workers are taking sick leave even though there is no need for it. Employers say that's why they even hire private detectives - to find out who's sick and who's pretending. How to evaluate which sick leaves are fake? And why it represents border crossing

Power and birth rate

Children cannot be ordered and paid for

"The financial aid mentioned in the video of the Ministry of Family Care acts more as a consolation for the victim than as an incentive for a happy father who truly wants more children," sociologist Nada Sekulić told Vreme. And according to the research of the Center for Mothers, says Jovana Ružičić from this association, "every tenth woman in Serbia does not want to be a mother ever again after experiencing obstetric violence."

Interview: Džesika Stojadinović Stoya

"I feel more comfortable in Serbia than in America"

"In Serbia, the value of women is often based on their potential to be mothers, while we have safe access to abortion if we want it, while in the USA half of the federal states have taken away the right to abortion," the author and former porn star told Vreme. films by Džesika Stojadinović Stoya

On the margins of the financial market

Stars and clients of pawnshops in Serbia

From ancient times to today, the pledging of various items around the world has been shrouded in secrecy. In the modern era, some view the work of pawnshops as a form of greenbacks, while others view them as a way of saving money in a financial crisis. How legal is their work in our country?

Health

Fat to death

You should not strive for beauty standards imposed by society, but be happy in your body. That's what the Body positivity movement says. But many of his protagonists die young from the effects of excessive obesity

Faculty of Political Sciences

Violent imposition of the dean

It seems that professor Slaviša Orlović, despite the accusations of sexual harassment and the fact that he was elected to that position illegally, will become the dean of the Faculty of Political Sciences. Everyone is protesting - from students to professors to the outgoing dean, who claims that, if the decision to elect Orlović is not withdrawn, everything will end in the Administrative Court
