Where is the Serbian Mamdani?

How could the Belgrade elections be repeated?

If Vučić gives in to the demands of the opposition, it is difficult to say when the Belgrade elections could be repeated. But it is certain that it would have gone faster if the City Assembly had not even been constituted

Vladimir Obradović: It is clear that this government does not fight against violence

Violence in society has become a sad everyday part of the citizens of Serbia. The candidate of the "Serbia Against Violence" list for mayor of Belgrade, Vladimir Obradović, told the "Vremena" portal that we as citizens should be concerned about the creation of the Šešelj-Šapić coalition, because "it acknowledges that we are returning directly to the values ​​of the 1990s, which were marked by enormous violence."

Expertise and normality against populism, concrete and violence

"Dobrica Veselinović is my friend and colleague. I think we have complementary knowledge and skills that we can use as a team to develop the city in the future. I see a lot of support in Dobrica and Mila Popović, but a team of three people is not enough to run the city. Nikola Jovanović, Miloš Pavlović and Đorđe Miketić will also be there. The city is a system that requires good planning, organization and staffing. We need to attract the best experts from the private sector. The doors of the city administration will be open for our experts from the diaspora who want to return to Belgrade. I expect professionalism, tireless work and dedication from all my associates, because there is a big backlog in the development of this city that we have to catch up with."

More damage from the illegal "K-District" than Novak's courts

The report on the devastation of the Belgrade Fortress was submitted to the Belgrade Assembly, and it is strange that the mayor, in addition to the "illegal" tennis courts, "did not deign to point out the much greater damage that the city of Belgrade suffered from the construction of the illegal complex", according to the Council for the Fight against Corruption

That the progressive "golden age" shines even brighter

The citizens of Belgrade already have the opportunity to enter swimming pools for free, and from September kindergartens, textbooks, English language in preschool institutions will be free. However, the economy has one inexorable rule of its own – there is no free lunch. So who will end up paying for all that freebies?

Aleksandar Šapić: Citizens who block works are "lunatics"

On the occasion of the opening of "Belgrade Family Days", the mayor of Belgrade pointed out that he could not guarantee that these people had a clinical diagnosis of "lunatics", but that he used a slang term for people who do things that have nothing to do with common sense.

HEART: Šapić is Vučić's punishment

The Serbia Center Movement pointed out that Aleksandar Šapić is surrounded by people who "work at a slower pace" and experts who take exams at the Academy of Young Leaders of the Serbian Progressive Party, as well as that he rewarded the citizens of Belgrade with an additional tax on their Infostan bills, public transport with fewer departures and without a timetable, with holes in the budget, but also on the streets, without even an idea of ​​how to finish what his predecessors started

Public transport in Belgrade

Incompetence at a lower price

There is no question that public transport should not be paid for. But everything that accompanies the introduction of the new system points to the incompetence and even the arrogance of city leaders, and even one dinar is too much to give for that.

GSP: Houdini performance of the mayor of Belgrade

The potential problems with the new tickets in the City Transport Company are already noticeably numerous, and apart from everything that can go wrong when it comes to mobile phones - from empty batteries, to running out of credit and potential network congestion that can make it difficult to buy a ticket in a timely manner, it makes that citizens will be deprived during the validity period of the purchased paper ticket

Aleksandar Šapić: Serbia has money to bury its children

The mayor of Belgrade, Aleksandar Šapić, said that he was surprised that everyone was asking where he was. He explained that after two mass murders, which happened in two consecutive days in Belgrade, he expressed his condolences to the victims of the victim's families on the same day, and he came "as soon as he could". He did not appear at the crime scenes, because, as he says, the City Assembly is the institution of all Belgraders, and there they could collectively light candles for those killed in the school and in Mladenovac.
