The case of Milica Stojanović, who hit a student police officer with her car during the January protests, experienced a sudden turn in just a few months - from being accused of attempted murder to being released from custody and transferred to the basic court. The decisions of the prosecution and the court raised suspicions of political pressure and selective justice
The group of students who started the symbolic ultramarathon from Serbia to the EU on April 25 arrived in Brussels. MEP Irena Joveva said: "We saw where the president of Serbia was two days ago, and you can see where the students are now."
The Democratic Party and the Green-Left Front support the student request to hold extraordinary parliamentary elections, but warn that the conditions will not be a fairy tale.
"You can't live without Vučić. Because, as with similar regimes, the fall from power or the loss of office can mean prison if there is a trial for corruption or other criminal acts," political scientist Vedran Džihić told Frankfurter Rundschau.
The interlocutors of "Vremen" emphasize that the Ministry of Education is only interested in how to completely suppress any kind of rebellion with pressure and that the school year ends, and educators go on vacation, so that students lose an important ally
The regime's retaliation will be dire if the resistance falters. Now they want to imprison the people who talked about overthrowing the government because they were supposedly overthrowing the state. But the state was hijacked and overthrown by the regime a long time ago
The knee-jerk Supreme Being trusts in the local elections in Kosjerić and Zaječar. It must not be forgotten that for 13 years he poured heavy poisons, especially in the province, and that detoxification is a long and painful process.
If the various opponents of Vučić's regime are unable to help the student youth, they could at least not retaliate. They have been working the same way and with the same disastrous results for too long to expect anyone to ask them anything
