Brajan Brković, a member of the activist organization "Bravo" in Novi Sad, is again under attack these days from the Serbian Progressive Party, in the face of local elections in the capital of Vojvodina. Brković is one of the most prominent anti-regime activists in Novi Sad, who apparently makes a "bone in the throat" of the city and state authorities, as soon as little by little, and in the most disgusting, shameless way, name calling and targeting. Both regime media and regime politicians.
However, the fact that the Novi Sad public does not get too excited about it is worrying, as if it is allowed to insult Brković and other political activists and seriously endanger their dignity, even their lives.
The actions of Brković in the past years in any democratic country would be interpreted as freedom of political expression, but in Serbia it represents maltene - terrorism. In addition to the media-political one, there is also a judicial harangue against him: this young man has about fifteen criminal and misdemeanor charges.
Actually, there is no particular reason for the latest attacks on him, except for the fact that, as things stand, the "Bravo" organization will be part of the unique Novi Sad opposition list, which will also include "Serbia against Violence" and the "Hope" coalition, as and some other parties and groups of citizens. By insulting and targeting Brković, this list is trying to disavow itself.
This is probably just a prelude to the regime's hard-and-dirty campaign in the city where it seems to have the best chance of losing power or at least suffering a serious blow. Not so much because of the strength of the opposition, but because the progressives managed to completely destroy Novi Sad in the last twelve years, and turn a relatively comfortable and pleasant city into an overcrowded town where crime and corruption rule. Novi Sad somehow managed to survive the wartime nineties, but the progressives - if they continue to rule - will not.
"Famous" Dijana Hrkalović wrote about Brković on his Twitter that he is "Ustaša who calls 'Serbs to the willows' and who desecrates the Serbian flag, is the grandson of Tudjman's favorite activist and a follower of Shiptar terrorists".
By the way, Brian is the grandson of the Montenegrin poet Jevrem Brković, and it is interesting that a part of the civil Novi Sad public criticizes him for the fact that his public appearances are aimed at criticizing crime, corruption, urbicide and the destruction of the environment, i.e. that he does not try to participate in the game of will throw a harder stone at Serbian nationalism. Although he is a staunch anti-nationalist, he believes that this is not the most important topic at the moment. Especially since some fierce anti-nationalists have been accomplices of the progressive regime for years. And some by God and others.
A video has also appeared on social networks, which regime members are spreading, in which it is claimed that Brajan Brković is an Ustasha and that he is known in Novi Sad as "a hooligan and a bully who hates Serbia", "an extreme hooligan who often destroys other people's property" and " regularly desecrate the flag of Serbia". The latter refers to his political performance after the performance of the Serbian Progressive Party, which, after losing the elections for local communities in Liman, repainted this entire neighborhood in the colors of the Serbian flag, by order of the local
a criminal.
Brković wrote the names of the biggest progressive affairs on a pair of red-white-blue walls, and then a moral panic was created. Perhaps the progressives will soon paint their headdresses in the colors of the flag, so anyone who criticizes them will be declared an enemy of Serbia.
It seems that the purpose of these attacks is to discourage Miloš Jovanović's NDSS from being part of the unified Novi Sad opposition list, which has not yet been fully agreed upon. That's why the harangue also has a leitmotif: approximately, a vote for Miloš Jovanović is a vote for the "Ustasha" Brković. Were the progressives rightly afraid of a single opposition list?
Be that as it may, the question remains whether anyone - the public, the media, political parties, non-governmental organizations - will stand up to protect Brajan Brković or will calmly watch from the sidelines as the government destroys his life, while he fights for the public interest. Unequivocal and bold.
