Another winter of our discontent 19.February 2026. Jovana Gligorijevic Students between the beaters and the opposition It should not surprise us if it turns out that the student movement and the whole of 2025 is just one phase in the overthrow of the autocratic regime. For months, there has been a lot of talk about unconditional support for students, whether they are sufficiently articulate, politically mature enough, "like this" or "like that" enough... But that is not the key to the success of this process. The key to success is the unconditional cancellation of support for Aleksandar Vučić
Farmers' protests and the price of milk 19.February 2026. Marija L. Jankovic It's not the spoiled milk, it's the regime When will farmers wait until they don't have to seek justice on the street and spill milk? Why doesn't the government deal with domestic production, from which even a million Serbian residents live? And why does the regime claim that it cannot do anything - which is not even close to the truth - while farms across Serbia are shutting down
Students and the opposition 19.February 2026. Ivan Milenkovic One step closer to common sense "Without the return of credibility and trust of the citizens, no party has a chance in the elections," historian Dragan Popović told Vreme. According to economist Sava Tatić, "one should bet everything on the only horse capable of winning the race. And that horse is, of course, a student horse"
Progressives and Novi Sad 19.February 2026. Nedim Sejdinovic When Vučić says he is afraid It is almost a commonplace that totalitarian rulers, who are propagandistically presented as great heroes, are actually quite scary individuals. In turn, they constantly talk about their strength, determination and courage and personal heroism, while surrounding themselves with dozens of layers of super-loyalists.
Portrait of a contemporary: The new director of RTS 19.February 2026. Nemanja Rujevic Minor or major trouble Those who know her say that the "paid killer" of journalism is in direct contact with Vučić. Those who are yet to meet her, as director of RTS, fear that the public service will fall even lower. Will this be Manja Grcic's new role in the media's Gleichshalt, after cutting heads at B92 and the dubious deal with Tanjug?
Public enterprises of the City of Belgrade 19.February 2026. Danilo Savic Belgrade Phantoms Although there were criticisms of personnel changes, no one in the City raised the issue of the business (and existence) of certain companies. If someone had asked the employees of the public companies "Sava centar", "Belgrade metro and train", "Naplata privozno usluge" and "Belgrade park" what exactly they do, they would not know what their job duties are, even though they receive a good salary every month.
Russian services in Serbia 19.February 2026. Filip Mirilović Recruiting for the long war Russian intelligence and security services have been present and operating on Serbian soil for years. It has long been neither a secret nor a myth. The only thing that is partially unknown is the exact extent to which this action takes place, which mechanisms it uses and for what purpose
Interview: Mirjana Martić Pantić, psychologist 19.February 2026. Ivana Radojicic Diseases of addiction - from comfort to addiction "Recovery does not begin with big promises, but with small moments of honesty - moments when a person admits to himself that he cannot do it alone, when the family stops being silent and starts setting healthy boundaries, when shame gives way to asking for help. The road to recovery is not a straight line. There are falls, stops and going backwards..." As our interlocutor points out, the essence of treatment is not only to stop taking the substance or the resulting behavior. "The essence is to learn how to live with yourself - without running away, without anesthesia, with more truth, support and closeness"
Attack on institutions 19.February 2026. Marjan Čakarević Stop unnecessary discussions. The vast majority of employees at the Institute of Literature and Art in Belgrade (pictured) recognize the regime's vengeful strategy in the extensive and sudden changes to the Statute of this institution due to their open support for the student movement
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 Jelena Grujić 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 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.
Comment How Peter the Hungarian defeated Viktor Orban The Tisza victory of Peter the Hungarian goes beyond the borders of tiny Hungary. It spills over to neighboring Serbia as a nightmare for Aleksandar Vučić and motivation for all those who want to see his back. Andrei Ivanji
Overview of the week Without organization, there is no victory. If Vučić calls elections for the summer, the student movement and choirs must be ready. The experiences gained in Kula, Sevojno or Arandjelovac are valuable, but not enough. Small mistakes today can be fatal tomorrow. The future of Serbia is at stake Philip Schwarm
Comment The strangulation of N1 and others: Everything is going according to plan The signing of Brent Sadler as United Group's media director is the penultimate step in a creeping stranglehold on critical media. The government won't save it, but at least the audience got an important lesson Nemanja Rujevic
