How is Nebojsa Stefanović feeling these days? Scared or wistful? Furious or resigned? A little bit of everything?

Some Dari from Jasenovac complain that the film has a thesis, that the characters are either exclusively victims or exclusively villains, that the ending is unrealistic - it is unbelievable that at least one of all the bullets fired did not graze Dara, that it is impossible that not a single inmate was fear for his life, so that his wounds don't hurt him...
The idea of a new closure, a curfew and a complete ban on the operation of catering establishments, causes me mixed feelings and I can't decide whether at this moment it is the worst or the best possible, considering the epidemiological situation. I would say it will be very difficult for one person if...
Once man did not even know that these tiny animals, viruses and bacteria exist, and that they actually kill him when he is killed by what he calls plague, cholera or some other plague.

"We will need masks even after the vaccine", is the mantra we have been hearing since December when the first doses of the vaccine appeared. I was walking down the street yesterday and I saw people taking off their masks outside, "in the air". I have the urge to shout at them: put on the mask, put on the mask, please! No, no, it's not because of corona. Here at my place...

There are two types of labor: paid and slave labor. In the first case, a person saves, "cashes in" his knowledge, skills, strength and time and thus feeds himself and his neighbors. The range of "rewards" is, of course, huge and often unfair, but the basic fact is not in dispute: paid work is one of the prerequisites...
It was rarely bad. It should not be a big problem that the police arrested Miloš Đukanović - suspected of being a member of the Veljko Belivuk clan - in the company of the secretary of the State Council of Prosecutors Toma Zorić and Milica Ljubičić, deputy prosecutor of the Second Basic Prosecutor's Office. T...

It has long since become monotonous. As soon as awkward questions are asked, Aleksandar Vučić and his friends get angry and start talking about how he and his family are at risk. But more and more inconvenient questions multiply. For example: - How is it that in 2016, after the murder of Aleksandar Stanković aka Sale Mutavi,...
Two simultaneous embarrassing events reminded me how privileged I am due to the coincidence that I lived a part of my life at a time when the generally accepted opinion that Serbs are a hospitable and open people was true. Vedrana Rudan was criticized and described in all kinds of negative terms...
Scandal, shock, disbelief, shame... Singer Milica Pavlović shot a music video for the song "Crna jutra", in which she wears (bare-chested) a piece of clothing inspired by the Serbian national costume. The rest of the "outfit" consists of black lacquered over-the-knee boots and gloves made of the same material. So what? Isn't it similar...
Phase 1: I'm not going to get vaccinated, you're out of the question! Let that Biden be vaccinated first! What, like, did he get vaccinated? Well, it's a show for the people, they gave him a guide. And Vucic? He's going to, like, take Chinese? Trt Milojko. I don't fall for those styles. The world powers, well, first made that k...
The importance of reputation and political connections can never be overestimated, especially not in the world of organized crime. However, as in everything else, there are limits here.

My colleague Momir Turudić wrote on this site that when you criticize even what is good, you lose credibility. Specifically, he was referring to mass vaccination, which in the kleptocratic-autocratic-clientelistic, populist political Serbian system, for now, is functioning flawlessly. For ...
Yesterday, on the way home, I met my neighbor Dragoljub. He is communicative, loves to talk, and is ten years old. - Do you want to get vaccinated? - he asks me. I answer that I will. - So you are Vučićeva - he says. - How did you conclude that? - Because those who are not the Vučić family will not...
At the unveiling of the Monument to Stefan Nemanja, the President of Serbia said that it represents the story of us. He is absolutely right. Those 23 meters and 68 tons of bronze are really the story of us. To begin with, the appearance of the monument corresponds to the mid-nineteenth century, not the third decade of the twenty-first century. It suggests...
