The attack on the Roma family Gashi near Kraljevo is proof that fascism exists, regardless of the fact that we have just celebrated the 80th anniversary of the victory over it - Opra Roma assesses and asks how the public would behave if it were a Serbian family
That fascism is not dead, even though May 9 marked the 80th anniversary of the victory over fascism, is also shown by the attack on the Roma family Gashi in the village of Tavnik near Kraljevo, warns the civil movement Opre Roma.
Stevica Nikolić from Opra Roma believes that "if you are not ready to react when fascism knocks on the door of the Roma, then you are not against fascism", and this attitude is proven by the example of the Gashi family.
"In the village of Tavnik near Kraljevo, a Roma family's house was set on fire. Their mother was cursed because of her origin. A ten-month-old child was beaten. Residents were beaten. If you read the news without a location, you might think that you have gone back in time to America when the KKK clan burned down African-Americans' houses. However, it happened here in 2025. And the state is silent. The opposition is silent. The government is silent. Instead of justice, comes denial", believes Stevica Nikolić.
He asks where are all those who are against all violence now. "Why don't you raise your voice now? Is this less violence? Or not at all? Do we need permission?" and replies that their lack of response means they are "part of the problem."
"The way the institutions react coldly, slowly, suspiciously - is indicative. Not because they can't do better, but because they don't want to. So how can we admit as a society that a group of 20 people still want to evict someone because they are of a different nationality? Imagine how we would all feel if it was a Serbian family in the diaspora? Would the reactions be as slow and cautious as they are now? No, they certainly wouldn't be. Well, that's fascism, when your existence is not as important to the institutions and other citizens. When you are not equal even in tragedy."
That's why: "Serbia must remember its glorious anti-fascist past and clearly recognize who were its allies in the most difficult moments. There must be no room for lost sheep who follow ideologies of hatred that are foreign to this nation and will never be accepted. Such phenomena must be severely sanctioned not only by law, but also as a clear moral message that Serbia knows where it stands."
"The Roma are still true fighters against fascism because they oppose it every day," concludes Stevica Nikolić from Opra Roma.
Communication between Air Serbia, the Traffic Accident Research Center and the public is almost non-existent. More than a year after the near-fatal incident on Air Serbia flight JU324, a key report has still not been released
As "Vreme" unofficially learns, in the incident at Gazela, Partizan fans who were returning from the Arena after the match with Budućnosti from Podgorica were attacked.
About one million dinars per passenger - that's how much Air Serbia paid to the passengers from the plane that suffered a serious accident after taking off from Belgrade last February, "Vreme" learns. But only those who protested as a group got the secret settlement
Mr. Malley has ties to the White House through Rick Grenell, the New York Times notes, and analyzes whether he pressured experts to support the Trump family's project.
The dean of the Faculty of Physics in Belgrade, Voja Radovanović, expects the controversial decree that affects the functioning of the University to be repealed
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
It turns out that the opposition did not win in either of these two places. But before we fall into the abyss of defeatism, it should be noted that everything has gone as well as it can at this point. And that from now on, it can only get better
The residents of Kosjerić and Zaječar have a great symbolic duty. And that is to defend Serbia's honor with its voice against the revisionist regime that spits in its eyes, turning victims into criminals and whose violence and lies really resemble fascism.
