We have people who will deal with crime

The regime does not know where it is hitting. This can be seen by, even by his standards, the frequent, public addresses of non-memorials. It can also be seen in the fact that he is executed and confused, and he often addresses citizens in a visibly intoxicated state. Self-control had never been his strong point, and now it was completely gone. The weakness is also reflected in the method of fighting against the mass student and civil movement. The method is called - monkey imitation. Their position is getting worse as time goes on. Not only on the political but also on the economic level. Salaries are late, budget funds are getting thinner

Serbia's foreign policy

Does the Brussels sprouts sway?

The opposition and the public in favor of it expect greater involvement of Europeans when it comes to the Serbian political space, the government uses such announcements to argue the thesis of a colored revolution, but would gladly host anyone from that side, especially if they give some money. It seems that both sides are exaggerating: neither Europe will come to organize elections for us, nor will any money arrive with which the government will patch the budget holes caused by extraordinary corruption costs.

Propaganda myth about the armed forces of Serbia

An army for parading and throwing people's money

The Serbian Army does not have the capacity to hold a parade like the former JNA, which in 1985 had more than 300.000 members, and at the last parade on May 9 of that year, it directly led 6.690 of them. Plus supporting services, of which there were more than 4.000. At that parade, there were combat equipment that will be shown even now, 40 years later. These are M-84 tanks, Gazelle helicopters, Eagle and Super Galeb G-4 planes, armored personnel carriers and trucks. Now they will all be presented as "modernized wonders" even though their resources have long since run out

How candidates for the "student list" are selected

Future MPs in front of the reception committee

The vote of each faculty, as well as the possibility of vetoing with a mandatory interview and acceptance of the ideological minimum, are part of the process that every potential candidate for the "student list" must go through, "Vreme" learns. Although Aleksandar Vučić regrets that his opponent does not yet have a character, the students strategically do not want to give the authorities and tabloids the opportunity to demonize elected people

Collective portrait of contemporaries: Batinaši

Small green beans from the Vučić brothers

As with extras at progressive gatherings, the president of Serbia has no luck with thugs either: they are few and far between. If they didn't have a police cordon behind them, the people would have chased them down a long time ago. This is how they depend on the tattooing of those who - if there was law and justice in Serbia - would have to arrest them. Simply put, both they and those who hire them are miserable

Pristina

And from Washington - a warning for Kurti

A day before the start of the pre-election campaign, the United States of America announced that it was - for an indefinite period - suspending the planned Strategic Dialogue with Kosovo. The reason for this, they state, is the actions of the Kosovo government in the technical mandate, which increased tensions and instability. What does that mean? What are the possible consequences of such a decision? What kind of message is being sent to the electorate before the local elections

Dossier on the occasion of the 35th birthday of the weekly "Vreme": Journalism in the twilight of the Gutenberg era (1)

Journalism and journalism: written press and big uproar

The archivist of the modern Borges World Library Alef (a fictitious personalization of artificial intelligence, ChatGPT) about eight hours a day in front of screens, the attention of newspaper readers and the scattered attention of digital readers, about influencers as court fools of the digital age, about "flat earth news", about journalism and speed, as the enemy of depth, about the revolution of the press in the world and in Serbia, about the support that certain countries provide to preserve the press and how important world newspapers strive to maintain printed editions as a pillar of their reputation - and for the weekly "Vreme" as a paradigm of drama between the Gutenberg era and the digital age
