Public meetings with the president: Once shocked, now Googled

December 24, 2021, 12:26 p.m Đorđe Vukadinović

More experienced and more confident: Aleksandar Vučić at the public session of the Government on the occasion of extraordinary circumstances in 2021.

Compared to 2014, the position of Aleksandar Vučić is significantly different today. He is more experienced, more confident, more relaxed. Acting is an undoubted element of continuity, but now with much more overpowering and slyness. He learned to combine "good" and "bad" news, albeit often in a grotesque way

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, is a master of media manipulation, i.e. the willingness to subordinate the actual solution of problems to superficial media-propaganda interests and the collection of cheap political-psychological points. Because, if it wasn't like that, he wouldn't have made a "reality show" out of something, which is realistically a serious situation, and broadcast it live on all available TV channels.

Equally confusing and contradictory are explanations or unenforceable directives and theatrical orders. It's the same arrogance, rudeness, instrumentalization and contemptuous attitude towards co-workers. With the fact that in the last crisis the main secondary role went to the director of JP "Srbija vode" Puzović and the chief of the general staff Ljubomir Diković, while this time the main protagonist and villain was the acting director of Elektroprivreda Srbije Milorad Grcic.
