The issue of home
The moment a Polish soldier offers me a cup of soup because he thinks I am a refugee from Ukraine, I understand that Europe still hasn’t figured it out. He is heavily armed. He smiles.
Say terrorism
Is the international community organizing terrorist attacks in Serbia in order to force it to impose sanctions against Russia, or is Serbia faking these threats for its own daily political needs?
Internal dialogue 3.0

Counterfactuals, a note in the spirit of Tolstoy

Debt
DwP – Sometimes I think I hear Milosevic when Putin is speaking. I am not struck by temporal confusion. Putin and his “Russian world” had Milosevic and his “Serbian world” as a precursor.
Electoral Neverland
Let’s start with the good news. There aren’t any. Let’s try again. Good news is that the regime no longer holds two thirds of the parliament and Vucic could not be declared a president-for-life.
Russian world
“The majority of the Ukrainian population, seduced by the siren call of Europe, has succumbed to the temptations of electoral democracy. Russian troops started a war to free it from these illusions.”
The perverse logic of justifying aggression
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is as contrary to international law as the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 and the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. These are all examples of aggression.

Novak Djokovic, X. and Y.
Let’s apply the standards that Judge Kelly applied to the Djokovic case and give everyone the right to have his or her voice heard, instead of just “loading” them back on the plane…
Despicable song

Doctor D
The media lynch of director Goran Markovic has been ongoing for over a month now. It started after the decision of the Film Center of Serbia not to award funds to Markovic, Zilnik and Dragojevic.
Undermining justice
Does the number of misdemeanor charges point to the conclusion that the police used so-called intelligent video surveillance – cameras and software for digital, biometric face recognition?
Vucic’s Apocalypse
Should the excavator smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to it the other also. This is not quite what Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, but that is how the police in Sabac understood it.
Gas scam
What is all the excitement about? 1,000 cubic meters of gas coming to Serbia via Ukraine and Hungary costs $270, but with the new pipeline the price would be reduced to $155.

Honorable note in dishonorable times
They were arrested for throwing eggs at the shameful mural of Ratko Mladic, which was painted on one of the buildings in Njegoseva St, in the middle of Belgrade…
Serbedzija – persona non grata
As soon as it was announced that Rade Serbedzija will have a concert, it was sold out. As soon as it was announced that Rade Serbedzija’s concert in Vinkovci was sold out – it was banned.
A culture of insulting reason
The photo of a girl holding a book with the question “Do you have trouble with grammar like people from the south of Serbia?” is a reminder that there is still life in a morally infected environment…
The cunning of fools
If there was any room for doubt, now it’s gone – the government led by Aleksandar Vucic has decided to sacrifice the health and lives of the citizens of Serbia for the sake of its own ratings.
What is the Serbian world to us
DwP – Although the Serbian world really is a copy – or, a ripoff, if you will – of the Russian world, the role of those two worlds in their political contexts is completely different…
Death and us
When, how, and why did we, the citizens of Serbia, decide to simply come to terms with illness, even death? In addition to all the (self) praise for the abundance of vaccines and new Covid hospitals…
Cultural institutions – Places of war crimes denial
The children’s section of the library in Negotin was scheduled to hold a promotion for the book “This is My Country, Here I Command,” by V. Sljivancanin…
