Serb it out, even if you have to eat mud
The Serbian police no-nonsense approach in dealing with the riots after the Vidovdan student protest held on Saturday, the 28th of June is to be commended. By not allowing the situation to get out of control, the police are preventing it from turning Serbia into Syria.
The Hamas cheerleaders of Serbia
The Serbian political discourse on the entire spectrum continues with its anti-Western and revisionist hysteria by coming in support of Hamas and continuing to deny crimes committed by Serbian forces during the Yugoslav Wars. Intellectuals like Timothy Snyder should stop voicing their support to things that they know nothing about.
Serbian students cycled, and Jesus was their copilot
A bunch of young folks from Serbia, Europe's most polluted country, sporting rather pricey cycling gear, came to Strasbourg, France, to complain about Serbian-made problems, and like all true fighters for human rights and democracy, they made a stop at the Serbian Orthodox Christian Church in Munich.
Marta Kos is still right about Serbia
European Commissioner Marta Kos emphasized that EU enlargement requires strong civil society, which Serbia lacks. Public opinion shows support for leaders like Hungary's Orbán and Russia's Putin, while many Serbians view the EU as imposing unacceptable conditions. This raises questions about Serbia's commitment to EU membership amid conflicting loyalties.
Vucic scored a major win on Saturday
Serbian conservative electorate that voted for Aleksandar Vučić for decades firmly believes that might is right and that public order supersedes the right to gathering and protests. The ruling coalition in Serbia will likely not lose any support by using repressive methods like the sonic cannon.
Stopping the USAID might be a good thing
The axing of the USAID program by the second Trump administration under the auspices of Elon Musk's DOGE will harm the developing nations. But have you ever considered that maybe the recipients of USAID never deserved help in the first place?
EU is right for ignoring Serbian protests
The EU faces challenges in supporting democracy in Serbia due to a lack of pro-democracy advocates within the country. An open letter from Commissioner Marta Kos emphasizes the need for inclusive dialogue. Serbian society's blame towards the EU highlights deep-rooted nationalism and political conflict.
Lithium of discord
Serbian protests against the Rio Tinto lithium mining were not motivated by environmentalism but instead were aimed at the Serbian ruling kleptocrats.
The square circle logic of Serbian protests
Recent protests in Serbia, notably the general strike, aim to challenge the autocratic regime of President Vucic. However, the protests often lack effective impact. Official demands focus on transparency and university funding, but protesters avoid directly calling for regime change due to socio-political taboos.
