Despite massive protests in front of RTS, tens of thousands of people on the streets and a blockade for several weeks, the duo from the top of the Public Service still does not see a problem. Or at least he tries not to see it, while the public looks more and more through the window - and looks for a way out
Two leading people of RTS, the director Dragan Bujosevic and his first information officer Nenad Lj. Stefanovic, they appeared in the RTS show to have a friendly chat about the so-called situation in society. And, of course, about RTS.
It's not that the people received any answers from them, but two important insights emerged from the overall conversation.
First, those two actually still exist and seem to be working. Secondly, these are people in severe delusion.
While Serbia is going through a severe crisis, while there are students and a strong people on the streets - which you can find out on RTS with a spoonful, often with a pinch of the blackest propaganda from the time of TV Bastille - Bujošević and Stefanović live in a world of their own.
It has houses made of chocolate, windows made of marmalade, and RTS is "trying to be better than society" (Bujošević), which can be seen when compared to other media!
If the director of RTS needs such recognition, here is it from this place: Yes, RTS is better than TV Informer. By God and from Pink! There is no doubt about that.
Stefanović, on the other hand, finds it "interesting" that "two different Serbias that hardly communicate" agree only that RTS is not good for anything! This order is proudly worn by this tired duo. It must mean something good!
Otherwise, the leitmotif of the conversation was the persistent equalization of the "two Serbias", both quarrelsome, both passionate and both critical of RTS. And since those two Serbias are so similar to each other (by the way, Informer is similar to N1 to them), then RTS is good. What a stunning conclusion!
As if "one Serbia" is not a ballless regime, open to every tender and setup, embodied in its first man who calls himself on RTS and still pushes the Chinese board to teach the people. And as if that "other Serbia" is not a nation that is rebelling against it.
Furthermore, Bujošević denied that anyone on RTS called the students Nazis, but clarified (!) that the students' methods were only compared to Nazi methods. He also announced that he will sue anyone who says that RTS compared students to Nazis.
Furthermore, Stefanović quoted former director Aleksandar Tijanić's bar comment that without RTS, Serbia is a "sick country" that would be aesthetically and politically "reduced to the Blue Bridge".
That's what these two had to say. And that after thirteen years of co-operation with the authorities, thirteen long summers in which the misery of RTS's news program overshadowed all the other good things that television does, after it brought tens of thousands of people to RTS several times and a two-week blockade and protest by hundreds of employees.
Bujošević and Stefanović pretended semi-convincingly that they did not know who was really pressuring them and who they were really going after. They acted as victims who, if necessary, would die defending free speech.
At times they looked like people in severe delusion, convinced of their innocence. Tired of everything, but mostly of being bothered by anyone.
It would have been better for them if they had continued to hide.
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
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.
