The former Minister of Construction and Transport, a loyal associate of Aleksandar Vučić, made history: he is the first arrested minister in the history of the renewed Serbian multi-party system that had some importance and was known to the general public
We have to fight for the financial-corrupt dimension to be prosecuted. We need to find out where 24 million euros disappeared, because this obvious theft is the direct cause of the death of 15 people. Of course, the tragedy also starts the story of countless secret contracts that follow large public and infrastructural projects, which are the breeding ground of enormous corruption. The companies that did the reconstruction of the station in Novi Sad are more or less the same ones that build, say, Belgrade on the water or work on EXPO projects
"It is our duty to insist that the topic of the canopy fall in Novi Sad remains current so that it does not end up like 'Ribnikar' and Dubona and Malo Orašje, and many other tragedies. If we don't manage to find those responsible, I'm afraid to think what the next tragedy could be... It seems to me that the more time passes, the tragedies become bigger and bigger, and that if it becomes everyday, we won't react anymore... And where will that red line be then?"
"The fact that I went out on the street again as a sign of support for young people who do not want to live in this kind of society, awakens in me faith that these young people, with their way of acting in opposition, will drive this current government into opposition"
The high prices of excursions and recreational classes every autumn give parents trouble. The agencies claim that they operate according to the rules, while parents doubt the real value of the arrangement. However, the state has created a system in which the agencies are clever, and the parents suffer the most
The information system "Zdravitas" is presented by the Ministry of Education as a "solution" for better physical development of students. What is this platform? Has anyone asked for parental consent? Who will have access to data about our children? Finally, what law is actually the problem
It is certain that the "(anti)fairy tale of a student dormitory in Niš" will enter its 16th year, although some public officials, such as the current president of the National Assembly Ana Brnabić and the director of the Student Center Radeta Rajković, promised and announced this construction much earlier. Of the many, the most recent is Rajković's promise that the home will be habitable by July of this year, while the real situation is such that it is still not known who will be the contractor. How did it come about?
Coercive control is an act or pattern of behavior that involves violence, threats, humiliation and intimidation, as well as other forms of abuse in a partner relationship. The goal of this behavior of the abuser is to hurt, punish or intimidate his victim. Coercion and controlling behavior lie at the very core of partner and family violence, to which women are far more exposed than men.
Although the Ministry of Culture has decided that from January 1, it will not buy books in Latin for libraries, publishers will continue to publish them. This means that this new measure will not help the Cyrillic alphabet, and that it has deprived libraries of many good and important books. Only the state will save again
AD EPS will spend the same amount of money for the import of coal this year for five million tons as for the complete production from RB Kolubara (something around 22 million tons). This will increase the producer price of the final product of EPS, electricity, by 50 percent, because those 27 million tons cost twice as much as if all 27 million tons were produced in Kolubara
Courage is the feeling of being deeply grounded in oneself, in one's own values and decisions, so that a person stops feeling fears, doubts and hesitation within himself. This concentration is so deep that it never occurs to us to give it up, neither under internal pressures nor under joint pressures. Although the observer may feel admiration, inspiration or envy, for the actor the act of bravery does not carry any special feeling, it simply arises from harmony with one's own values.
"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.
While the media and citizens find out new details every day and expose the government's lies, the prosecutor's office is dealing with the case of noise and stampede in Kralj Milan, apparently only in order to amnesty the regime
The Minister of Police is lying. Okay, that's not much of a surprise. But the entanglement of Ivica Dačić in the kitchen is more than simple lying
We allowed ourselves two dictators in 30 years. That is the core of our problem. There is no quick fix for this. And that's why March 15 could not be the Fifth of October. Because the Fifth of October is not enough now. Must be slower, must be smarter. It needs to be more thorough. Yesterday was not the end, because this is just the beginning
