Can the prosecution defeat high corruption

It would not be surprising if evidentiary material arrived from European institutions, primarily from the European Prosecutor's Office, which TOK decided not to ignore. If that material has arrived, then it is also a message from the European institutions that something is expected to be done about it. Maybe even a message that the prosecutors will have some kind of political protection", lawyer Vladimir Beljanski tells Vreme. His colleague, lawyer Jovan Rajić continues: that this is not a show directed by Vučić shows the behavior of his media, who have been campaigning against TOK for months and who knew what was coming. Secondly, Vučić sent his personal lawyer Palibrko to defend Momirović and make sure that he does not tell the prosecution anything inappropriate

Who woke up the Serbian prosecutors?

Part of the Serbian prosecutor's office woke up from a sleep of many years and started dealing with the monstrous corruption of the top of the regime. Where did that come from and what next? This is the topic of the new issue of "Vremena"

A prosecutor's performance or a blow to the spine of a corrupt regime

If this is another performance by Vučić, nothing will happen. If the activities of the Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime are really the implementation of the law, then the arrests for corruption in the event of a falling canopy are a blow to the spine of a regime that rests on lawlessness

Arrests for corruption: "Either us or them"

The prosecution has finally begun to follow the trail of money and corruption that may have led to the fall of the canopy. The regime is shouting that there is a "prosecutorial coup", they will try to strike back and it will be, as Dragan J. Vučićević said, "either us or them".

We will all fight.

We are not terrorists - we are citizens who express dissatisfaction and fight for justice, freedom, equality and solidarity. Such qualifications cause anger among Užice residents. The feeling of anger continued even after the arrest. Who were detained? Lawyer, student, professor, councilors, family people. This is a cross-section of the citizens of Užice

Who produces violence?

Even if Martens and Milanović are right - which they are not - the fact remains that the students have unmistakably shown that the mafia in power is only brought down by their unquestioning insistence on transparency and the rule of law. Social change has already been made. Even if it is not political now, it will be someday
