Everyone should live with their conscience - if they have one

People are enlightened, encouraged and united. United like that, we can do anything. This whole process is significantly healing for the whole society, now we all learn what we can do together when we have the same basic values. I think that the students also learned a lot, they experienced a lot on their own skin, and, honestly, we "older" people learn from them as well. Unlike many, I think it's good that this is taking longer, because sudden, faster changes would probably be short-lived.

Arrest of Grcic's team for corruption: Why now, why them?

The arrest of Milorad Grčić and his associates in connection with corruption in the EPS caused numerous reactions in the public.

Why do dozens of deputy prosecutors who decided to publicly support their female colleagues ask the State Council of Prosecutors to protect their independence? And who, actually, is Nenad Stefanović
