Myth of the neutrals and other Serbian political fairytales
The student and civic protesters, who represent the third, latest manifestation of Serbian alt-right populist sentiment, following the one that gave rise to Slobodan Milošević in the late 1980s and the second one that returned Aleksandar Vučić to power in 2012, are now getting a dose of reality with the opposition parties taking back the forefront from pro-Russian extremists.
Long live Marta Kos, long live the European Union
Every loser needs a scapegoat; Serbia found a perfect one - the European Union, the world's largest and most successful peace and economic project.
The pan-European illiberal alliance is very much real
The European alt-right always seems to be there for each other. Aided by their American brethren, support goes from Dodik to Le Pen, MAGA to Dodik and Le Pen and AfD, Dodik to Putin, Vučić to Dodik, Orban to Dodik and Le Pen, round and round they go.
Stop pestering the European Union over Serbia’s Serbian-made problems
The European Union, with a special accent on its executive arm the European commission is now an unofficial official scapegoat for every real and every imaginary problem that pops into someone's mind.
Weep for me, said the Tu-95 bomber
There's a Serbian joke about how the Serbian ship of lunatics is the pride and joy of the Russian Navy. Whether it's the news about arms sales to Ukraine, the purchase of the French Rafale jets, or the recent visit of president Vucic to Odessa, there is always speculation about Serbia's possible departure from the orbit of Russia and China.
Serbia is a corruption problem
Corruption problem in Serbia comes down to our own version of the end times fascism, when common people here decided to snatch what they can, while they can, drink and be merry, for tomorrow they might die, amplified by chest-thumping demagogues from national media outlets, social media and real life peer pressure from common folk who insist that the best cure for corruption is having ultra-nationalists in power.
Thirty years after the Srebrenica genocide, Serbia has a new generation of war crimes fans
The majority of Serbian society, and that includes the people in both Serbia and Republika Srpska, continues with the war crimes denial, because it is a basis for the Serbian authoritarian, parochial grievance politics. This isn't just state policy, as espoused in the actions and inactions of the governments in Belgrade and Banja Luka, but a sentiment shared by most people across the political spectrum, both in the ruling parties and the majority of opposition movements. Yes, by the students in Serbia, as well.
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, all based on wishful thinking and second-hand information.
