Living in the Alta State

How did the bank which had reported very strong business performance indicators just four months earlier end up losing its operating licence? Were its financial statements accurate or doctored?

They rose up, and they won

Perhaps we will find out what prevented Aleksandar Vučić from carrying out yet another coup d’état. All participants in the elections are left with plenty of “what if” questions. All except the Student List.

“The Collective” and its “experience”

To Vučić’s question if they would impose sanctions on Russia, students replied – we won’t. What briefly, I believe, brought Vučić and students closer? Students say, “our own historical experience”.

No major keys allowed

The Serbian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale has its own alternative scene in the guestbook at the entrance. It reveals visitors’ attitudes toward what official Serbia has to offer today.

A war criminal’s burial

The family’s right to a grave and funeral rites does not negate the question of why a convicted genocide perpetrator is given a public space where private mourning can turn into political commemoration.

In the voting booth

We heard a number of false claims about the alleged necessity of voting booths. For the sake of the citizens and the possible impact on the election result, we are obliged to list those falsehoods.

Operation Storm 31 years later

DwP – Given the diametrically opposed ways Operation Storm is commemorated in Croatia and Serbia, can we realistically expect the process of mutual recognition of suffering to continue?

Dirty cleansing

The recent statement by Minister Snežana Paunović that, had she been in Slobodan Milošević’s position in 1998, she would have ethnically cleansed Kosovo, has caused strong condemnation.

Vladimir Arsenijević beaten

Attempts to discredit everyone fighting for the truth about war crimes and the genocide in Srebrenica are becoming increasingly brutal. We demand immediate and thorough investigation into the assault.

Kirrhic victory

DwP – In Croatia, where public memory of the 1990s has been shaped largely around the identities of victimhood and heroism, it has been difficult to find a place for the memory of Josip Reihl-Kir.

General without decorations

State decorations were stripped from war criminal Branimir Glavaš on the basis of a decision by the High Criminal Court of Croatia, by which Glavaš’s conviction for war crimes became final.

War criminals, distinguished citizens

With the latest report from the Youth Initiative – Nebojša Pavković has gone down in history as the first war criminal buried with the highest military honors in the Alley of Distinguished Citizens.

What we can learn from stories

Our starting point is Serbia suffering under Vučić’s criminal regime. The story must end – and it will end – with the liberation of Serbia from that regime. Its culmination must be elections.

The unworthy

Members of the High Council of Prosecutors presented an incredible argument: that the published opinion is not the opinion of the Venice Commission. The Minister also resorted to other falsehoods.

News from the cuckoo’s nest

The final killing of media that resist the suffocating stench of tyranny is not an easy task, although no one in the EU would be overly shaken and protests in support of N1 are unexpectedly weak.

Conversation in Belgrade

Countries that sell arms to Israel are violating international law. Given Serbia’s own recent history of being linked to genocide, it should stand firmly against the genocide taking place in Gaza.

The case has been formed

A disciplinary complaint has been filed against seven Higher Court judges in Belgrade for holding a group of citizens from Kragujevac and Kraljevo in unlawful detention for months last year.

Anniversary of the abduction in Štrpci

Passengers kidnapped from train 671 were not random victims of bandits, but targets of deliberate revenge. They still lack recognition as civilian war victims, and their families remain uncompensated.

Shameful act of concealing a crime

The “Vilina Vlas” hotel in Višegrad, where in 1992 members of various paramilitary groups sexually abused detained women, was promoted at the International Tourism Fair in Belgrade.

We need to hide under a rock for a while, Vučić told the Serbs from Davos. Serbia is not facing such a dilemma for the first time. In late 1930s, the Chetniks and the Partisans offered their answers.
