Membership in the United Nations, as well as in other international organizations, brings certain privileges, but also obligations. Participation in peacekeeping missions is an obligation that is carried out on a voluntary basis
Sonja Licht's departure from the head of the Open Society Fund can be seen as just one change in the otherwise largely unchanged world of foundations and non-governmental organizations. Considering that the current president of the Fund is soon to establish a school for political leaders, it can also be seen as a possibility to get politicians who are worthy of a decent state in a decent period of time. However, if we bear in mind that in the past 12 years, the Open Society Fund was most often identified with the woman who led it, the departure of Sonja Licht from the head of that organization can also be seen as the definitive end of a rather stormy era.
The deep and complicated political crisis, caused by the split in the ruling group and due to easy playing with procedures, will have to end according to some procedure. What the book says
From October 14 to 17, Strategic Marketing conducted its regular monthly survey of public opinion on 1540 respondents with the right to vote. The sample was random and representative of the electorate in Serbia (without Kosovo and Metohija).
The new indictment from The Hague, the fact that the elections are approaching here and the tendency of the main prosecutor in The Hague to turn the list of the accused, which she occasionally delivers to Belgrade, into an endless tape, made the political risk of extradition to The Hague increase again.
In a little while, someone will make a domestic version of that Oliver Stone film, which will be called "Z. Đ". First, someone spread the intrigue that Prime Minister Djindjic was "killed by someone from the Government"; then Milan Veruović on Radio B92 loudly told what has been quietly whispered among police officers since March 12. The Government of Serbia, already amused about its misery, just needed that story

Slobodan Pažin (42) Defendants numbered 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 18, 22, 25, 26, 31, 34 and 35 are on the run and will be tried in absentia. After the entry into force of the indictment, the judge of the special court should schedule a trial by December 17, and if he does not do so, he is obliged to explain the reason to the president of the court. According to Minister Vladan Batić, the trial will take place in one, the largest courtroom in the building of the former Military Court. However, the defenders of the indictment ask: how, when there is room for only nine defense attorneys in it, of which there will normally be close to a hundred, since there are 44 accused persons, some of whom have three lawyers each. And each of the accused must have at least one lawyer. "Should we bring chairs", ask the lawyers. According to the most optimistic estimates, the new large building that will house the courtroom intended for the aforementioned trial of the accused, which is being built next to the former Military Court, will be completed in five to six months.
"I believe that the members of the SPS and JUL, those who are not mentioned in the newspapers and on television as thieves, rich or that they are suspicious and responsible for some other reason - I believe that they are the ones who made an agreement with the new authorities to that government protects their material and other interests, their rather large wealth, and that in return they contribute to the bribery of their yesterday's comrades and personal friends"
"Refugees have been manipulated like no other population in recent times. Perhaps only the mentally ill were manipulated that way in the Soviet Union during Stalin's reign of terror."
The new authorities shout at the top of their voices that those responsible for the collapse of the state will be tried. Wouldn't it be more logical to rehabilitate the victims first?
In some reflections on the latest events not only in Macedonia but also in the south of Serbia, one hears how the Albanian side is allegedly trying to catch the "last train" for a more comprehensive solution to its own issue and to reach, possibly, a new Dayton by radicalizing the situation on the ground.
Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
