Interview: Slobodan Beljanski, lawyer 18.December 2025. Nedim Sejdinovic The demon of evil is rampaging through our country The granted and announced ex officio pardons testify to the fear that the judiciary will not be obedient.

What caused the high demand for euros in exchange offices 18.December 2025. Marija L. Jankovic The foreign exchange price of irresponsibility Exchange offices have not been more crowded in years than this December, and the craze for euros is still smoldering.

Interview: Nikola Radin 18.December 2025. Filip Mirilović Budget of Belgrade - ATM for the privileged From the auditing point of view, the biggest failure in the management of the city in the last few years is the absence of a functional management system.

Novi Pazar: Battle for DUNP 18.December 2025. Slobodan Georgiev Spreading ignorance, propaganda and prejudice About the outcomes of this crisis, for now, there are only the wishes of the participants. The students in the blockade would like the protest on Sunday, December 21 to help "drive out their own" - to change the administration, to change the way the administration is elected, to do a complete reset of the university. Those who are in charge now hope that everything will remain the same and that a possible change in the position of the rector will be a kind of compromise that can be lived with.
Interview: Mirjam Goldin, political scientist 18.December 2025. Ivica Dobrić Overturning the corruption balance "When I was doing research on the political processes in Italy, I didn't understand why the country was so corrupt. I found out very quickly that the reason was that the party in power allowed it. The people in power had an interest in maintaining it.

They knew it would be too competitive for them."
exclusive 15.March 2001. Igor Mekina and Svetlana Vasović-Mekina 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 15.March 2001.

The case of the three beaten 15.March 2001. Uroš Komlenović 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 15.March 2001. Nenad Lj. Stefanović 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.
