Anniversary of the mass murder in "Ribnikar": Have we woken up?

The program that will officially mark the anniversary of the mass murder in "Ribnikar" is symbolically called "Awakening". It is time to stop and look at what has changed in this year and whether the institutions have fulfilled the demands of the grieving citizens.

Interview: Andrej Josifovski alias Pianista

The government is afraid of creativity and wit

"Whatever I do, I usually don't think about the consequences." Because if I thought about the consequences, then I wouldn't be able to do it. I think we would have many more successful creators in this field if they could overcome the fear that is very present here. There is no place for fear in art, these are two things that do not go together. The absence of fear is what distinguishes an artist from an ordinary decorator"

Politics at the Faculty of Political Sciences

Government jobs and millions of the European Student Forum

Elections for representatives of the student parliament at the Faculty of Political Sciences (pictured) were recently completed. They will be remembered for the fact that after them the student organization European Student Forum lost its long-standing dominance in the parliament of this faculty. The students characterized this victory as "the return of democracy on the FPN", and the period of student-political dominance of the ESF will be remembered for numerous irregularities, as well as constant rumors about various financial embezzlements, with which the European Student Forum filled its coffers over the years.

Traffic

Fear of older drivers: Rigorous checks and numerous prejudices

The law in Serbia provides for regular medical examinations for older drivers, as well as the mandatory renewal of the driver's license after the 65th birthday.

The UN resolution on Srebrenica: Vučić and Dodik's fight against White World "tricks"

Members of the United Nations will have the opportunity to speak at the session of the UN General Assembly in early May about the Resolution that would declare July 11 as the International Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica. The very hint of passing the resolution caused stormy reactions in Republika Srpska and Serbia and led Aleksandar Vučić to the conclusion that after this resolution "he will immediately come up with an initiative to abolish the Republika Srpska"

Masonry of the Student Dormitory in Niš

Fifteen years of promise

When the foundation stone for the student dormitory at the technical faculties in Niš was laid in 2009, the then students of the University of Niš hoped that they would soon be accommodated in a modern facility near the city center. However, construction has not progressed far since then, and the students of that time have long since graduated. What has been done in the last decade? What are the announcements? And finally, how much can be trusted in what is best received in Serbia - the government's promises, which, by the way, are especially abundant in election years

Student elections at the Faculty of Political Sciences

Democracy in books, oligarchy in practice

"At the faculties, a situation that is even worse than the irregular local and parliamentary elections often happens. Here, the very creation of new organizations is prevented", says FPN professor Filip Eidus for "Vreme".

A brake on the European road

If Serbia leaves the Council of Europe, citizens will not be able to appear before the court in Strasbourg

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said that Serbia will leave the Council of Europe if Kosovo becomes a member of this international organization. Apart from deviating Serbia from the European path, the realization of this threat would cause another consequence: citizens of Serbia would no longer be able to appear before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, lawyer Jovan Rajić told Vreme.
