Cedars and pikes - progressive food chain

How did the car repairer from Nova Pazova find himself in the Milić case, one of the biggest affairs in recent history? What is ten thousand euros for an ordinary progressive, and what for the heads of the SNS? Who are cedars and pike in that food chain

In Nova Pazova it is busted local SNS activist Dejan S. He is suspected of helping Saša Vuković Bosket and Marij S. escape after the murder Aleksandar Nešović Baja. Was anyone surprised by his party affiliation? Difficult.

Among other things, the police found 10.000 euros with Dejan S. For high-ranking progressive leaders, this is a trifle, a figure that can easily be counted for a mediocre outing. Partly - let's say - in the restaurant "27", "Djeri" or some similar elite bar.

But Dario S. is not one of those. He is an ordinary car repairer. His service has been blocked since December 6, 2024 in the amount of 1.755.401 dinars. To him, 10.000 euros is serious money.

People who finish

But what he missed in the workshop, Dejan S. made up for at the SNS stands and various campaigns of this party. A man has to live on something.

However, how exactly did he come to be close to Bosquet, who is suspected of killing Baja? Maybe they met each other in Ćaciland or when mobilizing people for Vučić's rallies? And it is possible - of course not - that they have common experience from certain progressive combinations and black operations for which there is a strict omerta in the party. Of course, by no means in the same positions.

To be fair, Dejan S, Boske and the murdered Baja were not among the people who have any political weight or public importance in SNS. Their role is the unspoken "getting things done". Again - each at his own level.

These types make up the progressive food chain. What's good for the party must be good for them too, otherwise there's no "finishing". Maybe that's how Dejana S. became a representative of the LIFAM Sports Fishermen's Association. And when it comes to Bosque and Baja, we are talking about serious places, real estate, luxurious life...

Restaurant "27" in Senjak

Life by lack of evidence

Turn-turn, the property of these two dramatic figure it was not only based on close relations with SNS, but also how it contributed to their well-being and importance. If it were otherwise, the former head of the Belgrade police would certainly not be sitting with them in the "27" restaurant.

There are other people with similar profiles like Bosquet's and Baja's who - as the late Miša Vasić would say - live on the lack of evidence. Their habitat is a swamp of organized crime, systemic corruption and a regime willing to do anything to survive.

Dejan S. was swimming somewhere near the bottom of that murky water. He knew what he was doing when, as is suspected, he helped Bosket escape. Had it gone as planned, he would surely have moved up the progressive food chain. Why should he be a cedar when he is not even a bit worse than the pike who have made millions by completing jobs of a special kind?

The beating of Vladimir Arsenijević: Evil under the bridge

Evil crawled under the bridge and there, hidden from the light, was silent and waited. When Vladimir Arsenijević got out of the taxi, Belgrade was once again loomed over by the same man who prevented Ron Haviv's exhibition, prevented the holding of the first Pride Parade, set fire to the Bajrakli Mosque and the Embassy of the United States of America, and vandalized the city center during the 2010 Pride Parade.

Mafia war in the age of progressives

What do the murder of Aleksandar Nešović Baja and the wounding of Milan Ostojić Sandokan say? Why have underworld appetites grown? What role does the police play? And that's why Vučić keeps announcing election announcements

Why is the honorary president of the Republic important?

Let's start from the fact that Vučić's regime first manages to steal parliamentary elections and then calls presidential elections, which any of his candidates can hardly win. An honorable president of the Republic in a dishonorable system would be like a sheep's hole in a fabric that has already been thoroughly washed

The European papacy of progressives

All the dilemmas about whether the progressives led by Aleksandar Vučić will bring Serbia closer to the European Union are false - they won't, it never occurs to them. And here we come to the student list of Kosovo and Metohija

Regime misery, misery and Zdravko Ponoš

How did the informative conversation with Zdravko Ponoš break through the bottom of dishonor? Do the obscure Informer characters have police badges and the cops have Informer IDs, or does it come down to the same thing? And why is the High Public Prosecutor's Office complaining
