Progressive violence

From the criminals, through the hordes of thugs Novak Nedić, we got to the point where activists of the Serbian Progressive Party no longer hide their faces when they attack protesting citizens.

Epidemic of violence: Schools in the Balkans as a firing point

Serbia has not yet recovered from the May tragedies, when 17 people, mostly children and young people, were killed in just two days. The unimaginable violence in the middle of a school, and then in a peaceful neighborhood near Belgrade, was unfortunately not the peak of aggression in society, but only the beginning of an epidemic of violence that is spreading throughout the region.
