Census: Cincari, statistical error

Cincari, one of the peoples who founded modern Serbia, are not a national minority because in the last population census only 263 of them declared that they were of Cincar origin, although there are incomparably more of them. That is why they are classified as a statistical error in the result of the census. In the hope that this will not happen again this October, when the population census will be held in Serbia, we remind you of the text "Chameleons of the Balkans" published in 2015 in issue 1300

National textbooks: Will the state be able to write the truth

The new school year will begin without national history, geography and Serbian textbooks, because the Ministry of Education is waiting for the president's opinion. Nationally oriented parties are asking for the expulsion of foreign publishers, and they do not know that there are none in Serbia. In order to implement the president's initiative and write national textbooks, no one mentions the scientific truth

Lawlessness and heritage: Who destroyed Usek

No one mentions who the investor is, for whom the terms Neolithic, cultural heritage and the law mean nothing, and who believes that he is allowed to build a building on an archaeological site. No one even mentions whether, if he is ever exposed, he will be held accountable for the irreparable harm he has done.

What will the new Parliament look like: Constituent session without a president

Among the opposition, it is assumed that the president will not be elected at the constitutive session of the Parliament, because that would somewhat reveal the composition of the Government. In the new Parliament, there will not be a single member of parliament from the Kosovo-Pomeranian and Prizren Districts. In the story of the new Parliament of Serbia, the main character is the new Government.

Mila Popović: Where 10 million euros for tablets were lost

"Aleksandar Šapić behaves as if he and his former party did not support the progressive city government for years. If it turns out that he is only acting like a good policeman in the media, and in reality he is covering up the traces of his predecessors, we will push this affair to the end ourselves."

University admission: Who cares about Roma with a diploma

Every year, fewer and fewer Roma enroll in university. Osman Balić says that the main reason is the practice in which the employment policy in Serbia is not favorable to highly educated Roma. There is hope that the employment of the first generation of Roma in the public administration will affect this unfavorable situation

Ukrainian libraries: We don't need Russian books

The news that Russian books are being removed from Ukrainian libraries is true, says Olena Koncevic from Odessa, adding that it should have been done a long time ago. Alla Tatarenko from Lviv is surprised by intellectuals in Serbia who are appalled that "War and Peace", a novel that proved incapable of educating a humane person, was withdrawn from the Ukrainian school curriculum.

Minorities

Cincari: A feat of statistical error

Cincars do not have their own country, their country is any country in which they have settled. That is why they have a language and a culture that makes them Cincars. These days, the Agency for Business Registers accepted the registration of the Cincar PEN Center, so now they are officially recognized as an international non-profit organization in Serbia. In the expectation that after the upcoming census, Serbia will recognize them as a national minority, considering that they left a big mark in its creation, we remind you of the text published in "Vremen" in issue 1573.
