Kragujevac students could not have chosen a better and more beautiful date than February 15 for the big blockade of this city. Everything about this selection is perfect. Both time and place and the multiple symbolism that Sretenje, Statehood Day and Kragujevac bear when they are connected
Where is Serbia headed? What is the way out of this crisis? What should happen for the prosecution to question Aleksandar Vučić, who publicly claimed to know who committed the criminal act of illegal demolition in Hercegovačka Street and thus committed the criminal act of concealing the perpetrator of the criminal act? In other words: how much pressure in society would have to increase for this government to agree to the rule of law, which would mean its disempowerment
Although students from Niš are also exposed to media targeting, although some professors and part of the public pressure and intimidate them, they still enjoy great support from a large part of the academic community. This support goes so far that, after the establishment of the Informal Group of Nis Students, the Informal Group of Teachers, Associates and Researchers of the University of Nis was also established.
Teachers, lawyers, actors and other workers stop work, students are constantly blocking colleges and streets, and there are demonstrations in the strongest strongholds of the Serbian Progressive Party. As Vučić's caravan moves from city to city, protests follow in its footsteps. What has stopped so far and where it all leads
The area of the former Yugoslavia still breathes together. There is still some common political, social and cultural space. First of all, this is evident through the support that students receive from all Yugoslav countries, but also by the fact that they have become an inspiration for similar, though not so numerous and large protests in the surrounding area, primarily in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
They are known as the electorate that has the hardest time changing their attitude, and as a rule they vote for the government. Have the students now succeeded in something that no one else has - to initiate the oldest and be their kind of guides for political thinking
Elections for the Kosovo Parliament were held on Sunday, February 9. What was the atmosphere like on the streets of North Mitrovica? What are the election results? What do the people of Mitrovica say? And what can these elections bring to the Serbs
Along with the avalanche of protests spreading across Serbia, far from public attention, a group of environmental activists and scientists is waging war with the Ministry of Environmental Protection over a controversial bill that regulates no less than - how to breathe in Serbia
The first girls to graduate from universities in Belgrade were Leposava Bošković and Kruna Dragojlović, both of whom graduated in 1891. By the way, Belgrade University was founded in 1905, and female students ceased to be an exception because they were formally enabled to study regularly. Before the First World War, girls made up ten percent of the student population, which was close to the European average
The example of intergenerational solidarity during the joint protest of pensioners and students shows that it is a social movement that fundamentally changes the psychological state of the entire nation. This is what causes a reaction in viewers and breaks the censorship barrier
The frequent warning "Shame on you" is not a verbal refrain of A. V's public appearances, but a framework for moralizing one's own integrity over other people's immorality. Embarrassing the opposition is not banal, but an active planned shaming and pretension for dominance. It is easy to understand that it is easier to rule when moral supremacy is ensured. However, it is risky to create an explosive climate in which the good are allowed to hate the bad with a clear conscience.
Disappointment can truly hurt just as much as falling in love exhilarated. But even when you are happy, maybe just because you are happy, a lot changes in the personality, something develops, where there is a moral fabric, accumulated lies and self-delusions are burned. All that, among other things, hurts. If, for whatever reason, you are not happy, it knows that it hurts sharper and deeper than almost any other loss. But what about that? Pain passes, and when it comes, few things show you who you are like the moments when you don't back down from it
"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.
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
The speech of the head of state, Aleksandar Vučić, is best described by the word - indisposition. The March 15 protest is his heavy political defeat. Now everyone saw that he no longer had the ability to prevent events, let alone create them
All those who lied all day long on the regime televisions that the "colored revolution failed" know very well what happened on Saturday, March 15, in Belgrade: they were given a warning before being expelled
