Serbian media: Serbia lacks 216,000 tons of crude oil per month, MOL fire could affect the fuel supply to Serbia from Hungary
Serbian media reported Serbia's need to import 216,000 tons of crude oil monthly due to US sanctions affecting the NIS. Following US sanctions, Serbian oil quandaries multiply after the EU decision to halt gas transit to Serbia through Bulgaria next year, and a fire in a Hungarian oil refinery that might affect fuel supply to Serbia.
Illiberalism and The Global South are fueled by the Mandate of Heaven
Illiberal political movements in Europe, associated with their ideological allies from Russia, China, and the Global South, cannot be countered by the committees of overthinking everything - Europe is doing itself a disservice by getting dragged into foreign cultural conflicts and upholding foreign values that go against rationalism and the Enlightenment.
Why didn’t the working class join the student and civic protests in Serbia?
Overworked and underpaid, often in unsafe working environments, the people employed by the Serbian manufacturing, retail, transport, construction, and mining sectors, faced with disdain, negligence and callousness stemming from both opposed camps, aren't exactly motivated to join either side of the ongoing protests in Serbia.
Let them eat BRICS
Dragan Djilas of Serbia's Freedom and Justice Party emphasized the need for a strong European message to the Western Balkans, advocating for elections in candidate countries to amplify their voices in the EU.

The outrage is all the rage
When a country like Serbia, experiences a social and political crisis, or a society starts showing tendencies, people tend to ask why is it happening and look for a cause, that in their minds, must have a rational explanation. You might not like the answers you get.
Devil-summoning of the Serbian electorate and its consequences
Eurobarometer survey shows that in the Western Balkans, the support for joining the EU is lowest in Serbia, 33%. The practice of fighting fire with fire by using alt-right kakistocratic ideology to fight the alt-right kakistocracy of Aleksandar Vučić is coming back to bite the vindictive and shortsighted Heavenly People.
Serbian protests are not a plebiscite
Contrary to the popular belief, the student and civic protesters and the Serbian government are not the only political factors of relevance, despite the efforts, both in Serbia and abroad, to present them as such.
Fear and loathing factories of the Serbian internal media warfare
The overdramatized scenes of riots like the ones in Serbia, shared by rather clueless agency news and often manipulative social media content creators, without actual context and placed into narratives without delving into the specifics of the local events are not doing anyone any justice and do not help the situation.
