The deputy prime minister of Plenkovic’s government Boris Milosevic attended the celebration of the 25th anniversary of Operation Storm.
Abuse

Srebrenica genocide has changed me and my generation
JusticeInfo – It’s a quarter of a century – and half of my lifetime – since the Srebrenica genocide happened, committed by the state of Serbia.
Philanthropy is a nice thing

Talk of the town
The news quickly spread through the media that the Constitutional court rejected the initiatives to assess the constitutionality and legality of the Decision on declaring a state of emergency.
Who doesn’t love their country?
How many respirators did we have? How many do we have now? How many did we buy during the epidemic? How many were delivered? How much public money was spent on it?
Just one point below the line
The very fact that the government analyzed the content of a report related to the situation in Serbia is a sign of progress compared to the usual outright ignoring that such reports are usually met with.
The past according to social media
DwP – It turns out that more information, more fragments, doesn’t mean that we understand the past better. A paralyzing overabundance of information has become an obstacle.
Bus-opposition
The Crisis HQ downgraded from instructions for behaviour in public transport to mere suggestions. As of now, as many people as the vehicle can bear can enter. Masks no, gloves no, distance no.
Kristallnacht
The “Kristallnacht” with flaming buildings full of imprisoned people showed all the perversions of Vucic’s reign and that the Alliance for Serbia is not the right solution for Serbia.

SPC’s absolutely idiotic request to allow a liturgical gathering of believers over the Easter weekend was met by the state’s absolutely idiotic extension of the curfew by one more day – from 60 to 84 hours.
Disobedient citizens and obedient government
The psychologists warn that mental health care must be considered and that the spread of fear can have catastrophic consequences.
Vucic in heaven
If would be so nice if this lasted, thinks Aleksandar Vucic, I can’t think of anything more wonderful, this could go on for ever and ever, soldiers in the streets, curfew, sirens, fear, patrol lights…
Four to seven
What kind of a person would manufacture this segregation? How little soul must you have? How heartless do you need to be to put people in such a demeaning position, even if they like getting up early?
Naked power and state of emergency
Once put together, power and emergency are bound with each other: a state of emergency is more powerful if it is abrupt, if it comes unexpectedly, if it can change at any moment.
Solidarity in the age of Corona
It’s Sunday, early afternoon. I am waiting for the president of my country to consult with, in this order: President of Hungary Viktor Orban, the patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church…
Robbery of the citizens: no problem, if it’s for the holy sites
