"Milena" by Zdravko Šotra, "Major and Helena" by Srđan Dragojević, "Service" by Andrej Šepetkovski, "Memory of Hair" by Dušan Zorić and Matija Gluščević, "Body" by Srdan Golubović...
The committee's explanations of the accepted fillers are decently extensive.
The film "Chills", which they explained first, they called a "vampire story". It takes place "at the dawn of the First World War" (the word "world" is capitalized in the explanation) when "Nikola Jeremić, a promising student of psychiatry in Vienna and student of Sigmund Freud, upon hearing the news of the death of his father" (whose father, Freud's or Nikola's ?) goes to Serbia to his relatives and discovers that his father "was a vampire and that his heart should be pierced with a stake".
Then, "A Room for a Boy" is "a drama that takes place at the end of the 20th century, in front of the bombing of the FRY." (The proposal pred means the same as before, so one of the two is redundant, and before the eyes means nothing.) "Family and traditional values are in the foreground," is the argument the commission defends its choice.
In the explanation why the film "2030" was chosen, and that unanimously, it does not say anything about what it is about. He writes that it is "the most original script in the competition", and that it has "a clear theme, an intriguing story that has an ideal as a guide, force and driver of action", and that it is a possible "cinema hit".
And, finally, "Sportsko srce" is "an emotional comedy with elements of drama, which deals with conflicts of generations, cultural values and personal transformations within a family." The commission points out that it is "a story that has all the elements of a racial comedy, but also every other element of a dramatic reading."

Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
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
