If Mićko decided to write a new version of "Serbia National Park", one of the first pages could read: "Meet Ćacija". A and B team, nicely put together.
And the team – "the boys"
An old Serbian occupation since the 19th century: whippers for all regimes, from Karađorđe to Vučić. Uniform is not mandatory, obedience is.
Let's meet some of the progressive ones beating stars.
Đorđe Prelić, for example. He received 35 years in prison as the organizer of the murder of Brice Tatton (arrested on the run near Barcelona), but the Court of Appeal reduced his sentence to 15. He served 10.
Or Jovan Coja Kecman, a former fan leader of FC "Novi Sad", sentenced to seven years in prison for the attempted murder of a former policeman. He was also on the run, and was arrested on an Interpol warrant in Germany. His sentence was confirmed in 2019. Today he is free. The list is very long.
Teofil Pančić once wrote about them, wondering if "boys" are a sign of a (crime) genre, a political orientation or actually - a profession?
The answer is clear: occupation. Their job is beating citizens and similar illegal operations. But when the regime is the customer of the "service", the police come to them, so to speak, as personal security.
"Boys," wrote Theophilus, "can smell blood - and are always ready to lick it up."
They are thugs-mercenaries, ready to work for whoever pays better. Today, Aleksandar Vučić pays them. There is no ideology, no ideas and no sincere support for SNS. However, there is progress in society: today they have become one of the main levers of the current regime.
But tomorrow, without any problem, they will tie the horse where the other owner tells them.
B team - civil servants
There are also those who are a direct product of the rule of the Serbian Progressive Party. They don't have indictments and prison terms, nor do they look like hooligans who break heads.
Apparently, the regime pays them from the budget, they are employed in state companies like the "team" from the PIO fund, workers of social centers and the like.
They don't have any qualifications - they bought diplomas, got jobs through SNS and all they have to do is obey. They have fake resumes and nothing to do.
When they were in their twenties, they received a state sinecure and a thousand or a thousand and a half euros a month. Certainly, if we exclude those slightly bigger faces.
Today, in their thirties, what do they know? Mostly nothing. And what can they do? They were on duty for the party, spied on their colleagues, sat in the stands and, above all, beat when told to. Now they are residents of Ćaciland.
What will they do if the government falls? They don't know. Are there any among them who enjoy beating girls and boys? Probably. However, would many of them give two dinars to get out of the car? Would.
Because no matter how much they fear what will happen if the party leaves, they will hardly risk their lives for those 120.000 dinars or something more to maintain one regime and one man.
If it were otherwise, Vučić would not have invited the rebellious students to a dialogue out of the blue, nor would he have looked so lost. He also feels that there is no bread in the long run from batterers.
