"Walking with Water", Vladimir Nikolić's exhibition that represents contemporary Serbian art at the Venice Biennale this year, tells the story of the relationship between technology and nature.

A few days after Great Britain, along with the United States, imposed sanctions on Milorad Dodik, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić met with the leader of the Bosnian Serbs.

On April 3, citizens residing in Montenegro with the right to vote in Serbia will be able to vote in Berane, Sutomore and Nikšić, not only in Podgorica and Herceg Novi. The competent Montenegrin minister explained that it was about procedural failures of Serbia and accused Vučić of causing artificial tension
The pre-election scare of citizens with possible catastrophic consequences of the war in Ukraine is nothing new, the same matrix was applied in the 2020 elections, only then the apocalypse was threatened by the corona virus. When the fear is instilled in the voters, Aleksandar Vučić presents himself as the only savior with the tabloid thirds
His most ardent admirers say that like Saint Sava, he is the greatest visionary, the solution to all problems, the last and only free leader in Europe. He says all sorts of things about himself, often contradictory, but one could say that he is a radical at heart, a hooligan by behavior and a populist in governance.
"Part of joining the Union is full compliance with the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Today, the United Nations General Assembly will vote on the UN resolution on Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Every vote is important. Every vote counts. And we are counting on Serbia."
Roma are the poorest community in Serbia. Two-thirds of them cannot even pay for prescribed drugs or testing for Covid-19. In 38 percent of Roma settlements, not a single residential building is connected to water, and more than 70 percent do not have sewage. Until now, the effects of the planned improvement of the living conditions of Roma women and men were limited to workshops on discrimination or educational programs of non-governmental organizations. Only slightly more than 0,1 percent of Roma are employed in the public administration

Consensus of this kind, as we recognize in the "case of the detention of Nolet in Australia", when "everyone" knows what it is about, when "everyone" is clear about what is happening 15 and a half thousand kilometers from the Republic Square, is an expression of the torn public space in who has room only for the crowd, or that One who, as experience shows, is not burdened with meaning. And where everyone knows what it's about, no one knows what it's about, because the strength of "everyone" lies in the number (quantity), not in the argument (quality).
Is "Open Balkan" a substitute for the lack of EU commitment in the region, support for regional economic integration, or just a cheap political trick that looks good only on paper
It is better to build on what has been gained, than to call into question one's own goals and credibility with risky actions. The energy of the minority without which nothing would start is seductive, but now the key is in consolidating the support of the motley and silent majority
The "destinies of mercenaries" who "harassed millions of decent citizens" forced President Vučić to say on Saturday that he would order to amend the Law on Expropriation. A man whose power is based on intransigence has at least verbally announced that he will relent. Which leads to the absurdity of his statement "that the street will not determine politics in Serbia" and other things
The same pictures could be seen all over Serbia on Saturday: Citizens peacefully expressing their dissatisfaction with the current state of society, albeit in the middle of traffic roads. The absence of the police was conspicuous. Apart from individual incidents, everything went well

A tone of quiet menace permeated the entire presentation
At its peak, Aeroput flies to all four corners of the world: north to Budapest, Brno and Prague, west to Venice and Milan, south to Tirana, east to Bucharest and Sofia. Almost all major Yugoslav cities (Zagreb, Podgorica, Dubrovnik, Sarajevo, Ljubljana, Sušak–Rijeka, Split and Skopje) and some smaller ones (Bitolj, Borovo) are connected to Belgrade. Before the Second World War Aeroput had a modern fleet of 14 aircraft (with seven Lockheeds as the backbone) served by a dozen pilots and five radio-telegraphers.
The pensioner is the subject of heartless discrimination, and neither the Krkobabic dynasty nor political correctness will help him
In Serbia, it is about the aspiration to make anti-fascism more national, Serbian by highlighting the contribution of the Chetnik movement. In addition, there are often attempts to rehabilitate even open fascists through anti-anti-fascism. On past and present holidays of the old and new states, the same problem arises as in the case of history textbooks, but also of daily political events and, in general, everything that has to do with the past according to which we arbitrarily define ourselves, taking from it what suits us at that moment.
