Indications of the Constitutional Court

Several important issues are common in the cases of the Brussels Agreement, the way in which Serbia formed the FRY and Milošević's proposal for a confederation with Greece. Whether and to what extent the political form of an agreement or agreement can absolve from responsibility for its legal essence and consequences? Where is the border between politics and rights that permeate everything? Who, if not the Constitutional Court, will give answers to the questions of whether some political agreement, which produces legal consequences, is in accordance with the constitution

How citizens of Vojvodina see the European Union

If a referendum on membership in the European Union were to be held in Serbia these days, 54,5 percent of the citizens of Vojvodina would vote for entry, of which 33,3 percent are certain, while 21,2 percent would probably circle "yes." On the other hand, 18,7 percent of Vojvodina residents are definitely against it, and ten percent of their fellow citizens are probably against it. It is also interesting that the older the respondents, the greater the overall support for EU integration. This is one of the results of the survey "Information of citizens of Vojvodina about European processes", which Ninamedia conducted in October of this year on a sample of 1800 respondents between the ages of 18 and 80. It also showed that, even if only in words, citizens are ready to change their lifestyle for the sake of joining the EU (52,6 percent), while 35,8 percent of citizens are ready to improve or retrain, and 35,5 percent to lives for some time with an unsatisfactory standard of living. The largest number of citizens of Vojvodina quite realistically believe that Serbia will enter the EU between 2020 and 2025 (46 percent), 21 percent of those surveyed believe that it will never happen, and 20,6 percent that it will happen quickly, in the period 2014–2019. year. Residents of Vojvodina estimate that by joining the EU, the situation in Serbia will be better when it comes to economic stability (50,1 percent), but worse in terms of the cost of living (49,5 percent) and food prices (38,5 percent).

Scratching about Tito and Yugoslavia

Twice in the past week, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić compared the country's diplomatic reputation to that of Josip Broz Tito's Yugoslavia. The Socialist Party of Serbia changed its logo, which now resembles a red five-pointed star. Deputy Prime Minister Zorana Mihajlović stated that the comparison between Vučić and Tito makes sense. What is behind this kind of rhetoric?

A kind of social chronicle

A night at the Hyatt

In the night between December 10 and 11, the faces and faces of "those" forgotten, dark nineties met. An old face painted with money and the glory of the people and symbols of that time, and its reverse with a heavy, acrid breath. And everything happened as if in some kind of naturalistic direction, in a luxurious Belgrade hotel

Resignation of the director of RFZO

17.December 2014. Jasmina Lazic

From a hot armchair to a cold shower

The departure of Momcilo Babić is another proof that supports the theory that there is neither a more desirable nor a more lucrative position in the state than the position of director of the Republic Fund for Health Insurance.

Shadow rulers

Negotiations on changes to the set of laws related to notaries are led by lawyers and the Ministry of Justice. The German GIZ, which supported the drafting of the law, portrays itself as someone who had nothing to do with the whole confusion.

Balkan CNN and its arsin

Lazarevac - 100 years of the Battle of Kolubara

17.December 2014. Dragan Todorovic

When he comes, everything begins

A trumpet is blown, the anthem is sung, the highest leadership, headed by the President with a voivode's posture, washes himself off, Minister Vulin, stands in stride, closes his eyes, salutes the sun, attitude, the anthem ends, everyone crosses themselves, Minister Aleksandar Jok

Confession of Mira Marković

"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"

The case of the three beaten

Nothing new in Pozarevac

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?

The collapse of ethnic romanticism

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.

Overview of the week

Mafia war in the age of progressives

What do the murder of Aleksandar Nešović Baja and the wounding of Milan Ostojić Sandokan say? Why have underworld appetites grown? What role does the police play? And that's why Vučić keeps announcing election announcements

Comment

Why is the honorary president of the Republic important?

Let's start from the fact that Vučić's regime first manages to steal parliamentary elections and then calls presidential elections, which any of his candidates can hardly win. An honorable president of the Republic in a dishonorable system would be like a sheep's hole in a fabric that has already been thoroughly washed

Comment

The European papacy of progressives

All the dilemmas about whether the progressives led by Aleksandar Vučić will bring Serbia closer to the European Union are false - they won't, it never occurs to them. And here we come to the student list of Kosovo and Metohija
