Both the government and the protesters in Serbia held their vile and manipulative commemorations of Croatian military-police Operation Storm, which comes as a very neat deflection from actual problems plaguing the Serbian failed state, such as a rapidly shrinking workforce, appalling pollution, and food products meant for export flavored with health hazards.

Dances with ruins
Foreign commentators like Rachel Maddow and Timothy Snyder, just to name a few, who come in support of the supposed anti-authoritarian, anti-corruption protests in Serbia are not doing us any favors by basing their opinions on wishful thinking and second-hand information.
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. In the word of Miss Nicole Scherzinger "Don't hold your breath".
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. What we have here is two alt/far-right popular fronts, one in government and one in opposition, bickering over their narcissism of small differences. This country is in deep trouble. 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.
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, because apparently they couldn't find enough churches in Serbia. So did the student cyclist happen to mention in Strasbourg that Serbia is an intolerant dumpster fire of a society, and that foreign IT professionals, namely the digital nomads, decided to split?
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.
