Dijana Hrka and Milomir Jaćimović are not just individuals on hunger strike - they are a symbol of the moral injury felt by the whole society. When we look at moral injury in a political context, it becomes clearer why otherwise reasonable and decent people can feel strong anger or even hatred towards those who behave cynically and without a shred of empathy.
"We don't have a political life in Serbia now, and we have to restore it, to restore basic democracy and critical thinking platforms. If we insist on ideological exclusivity, we will not win that change, because if we could, it would have already happened. So, now we have one strong actor, and that actor should be supported, because in the referendum atmosphere Vučić loses in potential elections."
What got into those little people in high school and stopped their lives for two days to serve as a woman's back, so that she wouldn't lie without anyone day and night in front of Ćaciland? A fire of compassion and solidarity was ignited in the high school students. Because Diana Hrka is just the age to be the mother of each of them. And the mother is never left alone
How SNS deputy Milenko Jovanov and his colleagues, trying to prove in parliament that the lex specialis which will enable the demolition of the General Staff is the right thing for this country, slandered Nikola Dobrović, the author of that building, and in fact showed how great he and his work were
When the tactic of endless postponement of obligations stops yielding results, the regime in Serbia has simple and proven solutions. If they are bothered by cultural property, the Assembly votes on the Lex specialis. In response to complaints about election theft, they propose a law as if they are really ready to compromise. If the new REM Council has to, that can be done, but at least there should be some intrigue around one candidate - let's say, about national minorities.
Today, when deciding the fate of Serbia until 2050, the same irresponsible political option as in 1990/1991 is in power. Aleksandar Vučić and his progressives managed to squander the best position for joining the EU that they inherited in 2012 and led to the fact that today Serbia is behind Montenegro, Albania, Ukraine and Moldova. The European Union is again asking Serbia to clearly declare that it ranks with it in terms of values, as it did in 1990/1991. Due to its radical essence, the government cannot make such a choice
"Perspective" and "reforms" may lead to second-class membership in the European Union. And maybe not even there. Is that a waiting room with a drawn door
When it was announced that I had been on the measures since May 2024, I remembered that this was the period before the local elections in Novi Sad. It seems that it was practical for them, following me, to eavesdrop on internal party discussions in the PSG, as well as the entire pre-election opposition-coalition agreements and negotiations, in order to know what the opposition is planning for the local elections. Given that I was actively participating in the negotiations, maybe I could have thought that I was the one being tapped, but it all seemed so crazy and pointless, so I didn't even think about it. I could hardly believe it when a journalist from "Danasa", who came into possession of the complete indictment, called me and asked me to comment on this monitoring.
The escalation of the Ustasha black shirts is not only a consequence of war, nationalist indoctrination, revisionism, political manipulations, but an expression of social neglect and social hopelessness, which Plenković persistently keeps silent about or justifies with bizarre "double connotations", in which the Ustasha salute "Za dom spremni" is only the tip of a huge nationalist, Ustašoid iceberg rolling under the surface of the sea
"I am priest Dragan Radovanović, from the parish in Peja near the Church of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist. I come from the north of Kosovo, the village of Banje near Zubina potok. I live here with my wife and two minor children," Father Dragan introduced himself. Today, he and his family are the only Serbs in Pec
"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.
The citizens of Serbia are faced with a choice: either Vučić or the European Union. Everything else is empty talk
None of us have the right to give up our freedom. It is unacceptable to lose heart. Leaving the last line of defense is unacceptable. Because the barbarian attack on prosecutors and judges is their last attack. Beyond that is the abyss
You should not touch Ćaciland before the holidays. Since there will be no New Year celebrations on the streets in Belgrade, it should be left as an attraction for foreign tourists
