1965-2001
I don't know when I first heard that being Someone means being a person with a First and Last Name. I believed in that.
Maja Tasić is a woman who had a First and Last Name. Whoever, whenever and for whatever reason spoke about Maja, he said - Maja Tasić.
She resembled her name. To the first Maya I met in my life, who lived in a series of Maya picture books. With the addition of Surname, Life and End, it came out of the picture book.
Maja Tasić lived the way many believed that they too would live and work if only they had that energy, that intelligence and those nerves. It was just missing.
Her energy was not easy, but it was nice to bear.
Freedom was a concrete term for her. While we were singing about her, she was working for Freedom.
When nobody had any more ambitions, Maja Tasić did. She put an equal sign between the words Ambition and Energy. Whoever was angry with Her was angry with himself, because he did not have the Faith that She had.
Maya set goals for her friends and others.
Those who had never done anything but sing began to work. For Maya, to spite Maya, whatever.
Maja Tasić started the election campaign for the united opposition of Serbia right on the pages of this newspaper, before the opposition united. All further campaigns were conducted according to the highest standards of civilized communication, established by Maja Tasić.
No one slept next to Maya.
What will happen now that Maya has fallen asleep? Who will wake us up?
She proved with her life that it is not true that it is enough to want something terribly, but that it is necessary to do a lot.
The hardest remark I heard about her was "she achieves everything she sets her mind to". I am not afraid to say that there is nothing that She has conceived that is not for the joy of us all.
I look around and fear that she is gone long before she has achieved all that she envisioned. This is not yet Our country as she fought for.
If there are those who postpone the Otherworld with serenity, I dare to think that Maja Tasić is not one of them. She didn't finish her work.
And I'm not sure that anyone can replace her in that business.
In that sense, we cannot promise her anything. Except we won't forget her.
In the search for God's justice, all that comes to my mind is that Maja Tasić went to the place where the kind of order she longed for in this world was established.
Goodbye, beautiful girl.
Arrests out of the blue, banishment from the country, beatings... All this happened to us in the last week alone. The Serbian Progressive Party, born from the foam left behind by their spiritual father Vojislav Šešelj, is returning to its roots. I can't escape from myself
"The levers of power are not in their hands," said Bishop Grigorije. "But there is something in the Holy Scriptures that I like very much, and that is that the power of God is revealed in weakness. So, all worldly power is on one side. And on the other side, in the hands of these young men and women is the weakness of this world. But in their weakness, the power of God or God's justice appears. That is why they are at such a great advantage."
The regime and its media have been trumpeting the "civil war" for months, and the government is the only one that has a patent for peace and stability - of course, with the help of the propaganda machine and the use of force. "It is a propaganda tactic of SNS that says: 'violence is everywhere, terrorists surround us, but we are here to save you,'" explains communication professor Jelena Kleut for "Vreme".
Students and citizens who accompany them on these walking feats, were welcomed as the most native together with those who came the day before from other places. A dove of peace was also released on the stage next to the promenade along the river - this symbolic gesture of the two students is the most impressive gesture of understanding and respect between the Bosniak and Serbian peoples since the end of the wars in the former Yugoslavia
The three-day parliament for the promotion of Aleksandar Vučić and his Movement for the People and the State was realistically a fiasco. But it was first of all conceived as a media spectacle for regime television directed by court promoter Željko "DJ Žeks" Mitrović, with scenography and iconography adapted to the Serbian political market.
Anyone who condemns the regime's targeting of people from the media, the non-governmental sector, the opposition and universities, must not agree to this targeting of RTS editors and journalists either.
The government of Đur Mazut is "counter-revolutionary", focused on retaliation and state and street violence against opponents of the regime
Depriving Dejan Ilić, an intellectual with an impeccable life and work biography, of his freedom, without the slightest meaningful reason, is just one of the brutal indicators that the regime has turned against its own citizens and is entering a phase of terror
Vučić and Šešelj: Where I stopped, you continue
