"The levers of power are not in their hands," said Bishop Grigorije. "But there is something in the Holy Scriptures that I like very much, and that is that the power of God is revealed in weakness. So, all worldly power is on one side. And on the other side, in the hands of these young men and women is the weakness of this world. But in their weakness, the power of God or God's justice appears. That is why they are at such a great advantage."
When Ćaci no. 1 said he thought there were more than 145.000 people at the rally, which the police overestimated three times, as always, he was right, because the police did not count the bus drivers from Moldova
The "New Testament" is nowhere ahead of its time and out of time except in its commitment to love, putting love at the center of both our lives and the entire world and universe, which could be anyone's private "religion" regardless of whether you believe the rest of that book or any other
Serbia has, to a greater or lesser extent, harmonized its legislation with relevant international standards in the field of corruption. The problem of impunity for the highest state officials does not usually lie in this, but in the lack of political will to deal with high level corruption. Precisely because they control the police, the prosecution and the court, which are often corrupt themselves. Due to the captivity of institutions, they do not have the capacity to conduct complex investigations and to bring powerful and rich people to court
A lie is a powerful tool, you can achieve anything with it. But the truth is also powerful. If you want to accept the truth, then you can't do it partially, you have to decide whether you want to know and accept the whole truth and live according to it, or you have to persist in lies that can comfort you better. Red or blue pill

If one should single out the qualities that adorned him and for which I will remember him, then they are authentic intellectual openness and curiosity, which, as a rule, begins to evaporate in most people over time, and which did not leave Filipa until the last hour.
People who build a long-term relationship do not always follow the same path. Along the way, they diverge, there is a misunderstanding and a discrepancy in expectations. Love, therefore, changes aggregate states, but if it persists, if people are ready to invest and fight for the relationship, then we can call it real love
In order to stay in power, Bonaparte III changed the state system, he removed all political enemies, the parliament was only a facade of the regime, he bribed the deputies with large salaries, the assembly did not question the declaration of war or peace, and the emperor often called himself the commander-in-chief even in peace. Napoleon III was happy, at large rallies he celebrated a new victory and the restoration of great popularity
The state has become a paradise and protection for criminals, mobsters and instigators, robbers, thugs, and even murderers, provided that they are part of a "permanent alliance of sufficiently strong interests". Therefore, the struggle with the legacy of this government will be more like a struggle against feudal or post-colonial structures that wanted to change clothes, adapt and preserve political influence through control of resources than the processes of disqualification of guardians of the ideology of totalitarian regimes who did not care about human rights in their service. Investigations and court processes will play a much more important role in that process than administrative measures prohibiting the performance of functions
"In the capital of Hungary, we were welcomed and supported by the mayor there, which could not be said for our embassy - in addition to being ignored, they symbolically lowered the blinds on the windows. We spent some time at the university in Budapest, where we learned that the students there are also going through a similar situation as we are in Serbia, only without blocking classes - they have five demands and a movement to replace the rector. A party followed in our honor, and then we were placed in the houses of people who wanted to I was hosted by a Mexican," ETF student Aleksa Ognjanović writes for "Vreme".
It is a common practice to justify the non-disclosure of contracts by real or alleged demands of companies with which the state does business. After the tragedy in Novi Sad, while the government still did not enter the "all student demands are fulfilled" mode, the story was different - that the contracts were secret, because the "Chinese side" was allegedly asking for it. This is, of course, not the first government that contracts huge benefits from the budget without the intention of presenting complete information to those who will pay for it all. But even when secrecy is unfounded, contracts are simply not published with surprising ease of irresponsibility. Currently, the "tariff" for publishing documentation about one project is sixteen dead passengers and several hundred thousand persistent protesters
Is Vučić still the president of Serbia or is he just the master of the fictitious "Ćaciland"? Who can he count on? Who remained loyal to him? Who, in fact, are loyalists
The President showed on TV what dialogue is, Students violate the Constitution and the law every day, commit terror, and this is an attempt to overthrow him. Then he selected his expert as the representative, who could have been Đura Čvorović, his name is Đuro and he is 10 times better than them
You only get to know yourself in a dialogue with a friend. And it's not about the fact that your friend should know something better than you or know you better than you know yourself, so that he can explain to you how you feel at any given moment. On the contrary, friendship presupposes equality, and getting to know oneself is based on a marked degree of honesty and the risk of sharing even the vague, embarrassing or dangerous.
The worst option for the global economy is an escalation followed by the introduction of some form of financial sanctions that the US would apply against countries that responded to US tariffs with trade countermeasures. China has already done so by introducing tariffs of 34 percent on American goods and announcing that it will "fight to the end", while the European Union is announcing similar measures. Such a development would lead to an increase in financial uncertainty in the system and a likely reduction in the global role of the US dollar. US action has become difficult to predict
The European Union's efforts to build a stable energy future depend on strategic decisions in the coming years. Investments in energy, new technologies and research are key to reducing vulnerability. As China continues to shape the rare earths market and responds to Trump's tariffs with its own measures, Europe has an opportunity to consider a partnership that balances independence and cooperation
In the midst of the general global upheaval caused by Trump's latest moves and the outbursts of his second-in-command, complete uncertainty on the Ukrainian battlefield, and in the midst of the political and wider social crisis it has fallen into for the past few years, complete political chaos has been caused in France by a court verdict that imposed a five-year ban on the election of any public office to the leader of the extreme right, Marine Le Pen, the favorite of the upcoming presidential elections in 2027, in addition to a prison sentence

A lot could be said about Filip David as a writer of Serbian literature from its most creative post-war era, but little has been said - wrote Branko Kukić at the beginning of the introductory text of the two-issue edition of "Gradac" magazine, which is dedicated to Filip David.
It contains a fragment of David's opus, such as Sketches for a dream story, A well in a dark forest, One night in Warsaw, No man's land, plays One day, my Jamel, scenario Worlds in chaos, his correspondence with Mirko Kovač and Borislav Pekić, as well as the text that Filip David spoke at the National Library of Serbia at the award ceremony for the Best Book in the Network of Public Libraries for the novel House of memory and oblivion, a text that began with a fence from the presence of Tomislav Nikolić, the then president of Serbia. "Respecting the institution of the president, I have not supported his nationalist and war policy since the 90s. He has no place here and on this occasion," said David in front of the guests.
The double issue also contains texts about him by admirers of Filip David. One of those, a text by Svetislav Basara Princ "Photogallery”, we announce.
At the end of the introductory text entitled Filip David - Everything is on fire, Kukić says that it was not his intention to publish all the important texts written about Filip David, but to say more "about a special atmosphere and temperature that bring a special current, presented in a special way, because each literary epoch has special creators who look at the world, internal and external, from a special angle - the fifth - in a square room. This fifth angle simultaneously demolishes the old house and creates a new one".

The dean of the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš, Natalija Jovanović, tells Vreme that she was stabbed by the president of the state, Vučić, since he has been conducting an orchestrated hunt for her since the beginning of the blockade in this city. "I can't believe what happened, but when I think about it, I subconsciously expected this, because this repressive and totalitarian regime in its final phase is certainly ready for this."
