For the past ten months, citizens and students have been seeking justice on the streets - Fr student list, we talk about what happened and the fight against crime Jovo Bakić, professor at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade.
At the same time, it is also the front page of the issue that has been on newsstands since Thursday.
Speaking about the "student list", Bakić says that there will certainly be some who are squeamish about some of the names that will be announced as part of that list.
"Perhaps it is not bad that there are two opposition lists in the elections, that is, that the opposition parties form their own. So if someone is squeamish about a name, let him vote for the other list. It may not be bad, and for the sake of winning as convincingly as possible over the regime," Bakić points out.
He adds: "Unfortunately, there are still people who have not learned from the 13 years of the criminal regime that it must change, regardless of the disgust we feel towards some individuals or parties."
"The regime will certainly bring into play various friends of Russia, extreme and radical right-wingers in their own service, e.g. Dr. Nestorović, Vacić, as well as some friends of the USA like Dr. Milić, maybe some pseudo-leftists inclined to China, and probably some completely new faces, in an attempt to attract those who are scornful of the opponents of the regime."
Fighting crime
When asked whether, even if they recover somewhat, the institutions will be able to deal with such an imposing crime in which so many people participate, Bakić answers:
"It seems to me that there is a core of people who can start a serious confrontation with organized crime. I don't think they will agree to be bribed by organized crime, regardless of the fact that they are the heads of criminal groups, along with some other oligarchs at the top of the government or close to the regime - by far the most powerful and richest in the country."
At the same time, it should be borne in mind that whoever is dangerous and incorruptible to them, may also be liquidated.
"However, if there is resolve, organized crime can be dealt with, with the awareness that it can cost some people their lives," believes Bakić. "It is important that this struggle has broad social support, so that it is not a wasted sacrifice."
