Extraordinary session of the High Prosecution Council

15.May 2025. Tijana Stanic

Prosecutors without protection from Vučić's pressures

According to the Commissioner for Independence of the High Council of Prosecutors, pressure on prosecutors in Serbia comes from various sources, but it seems not from the office of President Aleksandar Vučić. "The avoidance of Commissioner Milan Tkalac to explicitly state his position when it comes to the statements of the President of the Republic is professionally unacceptable," the President of the Association of Prosecutors of Serbia, Lidija Komlen Nikolić, told Vreme. What can the president say without it being understood as interfering with the independence of the judiciary

Local elections in Zaječar and Kosjerić

15.May 2025. Slobodan Georgijev

Students and others in the campaign

The progressive government is fighting hand and foot to win in two different places, because they would not dare to look at Aleksandar Vučić if they lose. On the other hand, the rest of Serbia is rooting for them to start from Zaječar and Kosjerić, so that they "go in order" across the country and thus see the backs of those who have been governing in every place, every street and every village for 13 years.

REM, second Public Call

15.May 2025. Sasa Mirkovic

Either we're all together or we're whitewashing for nothing

All the members of this body have never been changed. The election of Council members has never taken place in such a heated socio-political atmosphere. Brussels has never been so interested in the course and outcome of this process. Hence so much nervousness, passion and established illegalities for which no one has yet been held accountable

Life under a canopy

Disrespect for the law and high level of corruption in Serbia are rapidly taking an even greater toll. Let's list some cases: part of the ceiling at the Cardiology Clinic in Niš fell, and the ceiling at the Railway Station in Ćuprija also rattled. Previously, a pedestrian crossing bridge near the village of Vlahovo collapsed and a part of the wall at the school in Pećinci collapsed (two girls were slightly injured). There are also collapses of the concrete structure of the overpass on the high-speed Požarevac-Veliko Gradište highway, ceiling collapses at a school in Užice, in Saranov near Rača, at the Institute for Public Health in Kragujevac and at the "Maja" kindergarten in New Belgrade. So, all that from November 1 last year until today. It's not enough

“From my village to Brussels”

15.May 2025. Jovana Gligorijevic

How students ran into the EU

While the student marathoners, after 18 days of relay running and 2000 kilometers covered, are talking to EU parliamentarians in Brussels, Vučić is meeting with the president of the European Council. In the background of these two events, the government's evident influence on the judiciary is reflected in two decisions: the extension of the detention of activists from Novi Sad and the requalification of the offense of the woman who hit a student with a car

Research: Autism in Serbia

15.May 2025. Milica Srejić

There is money for the dolphinarium, but not for personal attendants

When asked what the system provided to people with autism and their families, the parents we talked to said out loud - the system is nothing, but the individuals from the system are a lot, it depends on who was lucky. What are the obstacles parents of children with autism face? Why are there not enough personal followers? Finally, how many children with autism in Serbia are counted by the Registry of Children with Developmental Disabilities

Organ donation and transplantation (2)

15.May 2025. Filip Mirilović

Why the social environment is important

The lack of public education and the absence of a clear strategy for normalizing the conversation about donation make it difficult to change attitudes about organ transplantation. In many cases, families simply do not know what their deceased member's attitude would have been, because they never discussed it. Death is still quite taboo, death is not discussed. This is precisely why most people do not express their views on donation during their lifetime, which makes the decision even more difficult for families when they are faced with a loss.

Personal attitude

15.May 2025. Branislav Cvetkovic

BOS research: Talking, not advocating

Young people in Serbia, aware of their capabilities, knowledge and ingenuity in leading the fight for justice, shook the foundations of the system that anesthetized its citizens (their parents), narrowed the spaces for them to talk, divided them into "citizens" and students in the blockade and directly confronted them. But how did they manage to shake the foundations of the system? Precisely thanks to the attitude that their every action exudes: Is there anything we can't do?

TV maniac

Marquise handkerchief

For the purposes of discrediting the EU, even some kind of bizarre video was used, in which drunken people pee from bridges into canals at some kind of party in the Netherlands. "Informer" immediately connected the story of a decadent Europe that is experiencing its demise

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"

Interview - Sanda Rašković-Ivić, Commissioner for Refugees of the Republic of Serbia

We don't want ghettoization

"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 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?

Macedonia

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

Vučić, the one-man orchestra

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

Progressive arrests and purges: Self-defense or nothing

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

Nemanja Rujevic

Comment

The regime is denying the truth that it happened

The example of the elections in Zaječar and Kosjerić shows that the truth is not given, but assumed. Truth is a task that a citizen fulfills. She always wins
