Threats of rape and violence against women are not only indicators of the impotence of those in power. They represent a continuation of the violence of the 1990s, threatening to resurface…

One by one, the chances to save the society are slipping away for good. Moreover, each missed opportunity leaves even fewer options. At this point, only tragic solutions seem to remain.

Protests in Serbia reflect a deeper crisis: the erosion of public institutions meant to educate, protect, and care for the population. Among them, health care stands out as a powerful symbol of systemic decay.

The video shows a girl lowering her head, but a female police officer violently pulls her hair. Another officer joins in, yanking her hair, while the one in front keeps pushing a phone in her face.

Genocide denial is a politics of weakness, not strength. It imprisons society and holds it back. No community can ever flourish when it is chained in lies about truths the rest of the world knows.

More than 1,000 witnesses were heard in ICTY and Mechanism cases concerning crimes committed in Srebrenica. It is humbling to know that so many people bravely set aside their personal fears.

Milenko Živanović was acquitted on all counts related to the forced relocation of Srebrenica civilians. His defense team included a chosen lawyer, public prosecutor, and a panel of judges.

Any protest can be framed as an attempt to overthrow the order. But what is there to overthrow? Nothing! The regime survives under the shadow of a constitutional order that no longer exists.

Professor Katarina Popović at the Rebellious University protest on June 16, Faculty of Philosophy Day: “Today, the street is our department, the intersection our amphitheatre.”

Rebellious part of society in Serbia reacted to the harrowing image of a Serbian boy being strangled by an Albanian policeman, and took to the streets with a slogan worn out by decades of abuse.

In a historic turn of events, on May 12, 2025, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has announced its decision to disband and end armed struggle, marking the end of a decades-long insurgency.

The criminal complaint against the activists includes nothing from their conversation, recorded in violation of the Constitution. No statements are quoted, only interpretations of what each supposedly meant.

Due to a chronic shortage of funds, the UN is considering consolidating various agencies into a smaller number of sectors. The real problems facing the UN require a more honest diagnosis.

Despite differing organisational structures and political dynamics, the protests in Serbia and Turkey reveal key similarities in how young people are responding to the erosion of democratic norms.

The broadcast has been interrupted, students and citizens are listening to music and painting eggs in front of RTS, while six people spend a second month in detention, with barely any right to defense.

The public only found out who the next prime minister would be around the thirtieth minute of Vučić’s press conference. This sends a clear message that the prime minister is a nobody.

The police state detained and released Dejan Ilić. Dejan wasn’t released because there was no crime, but because the public defended him.

If the president of Serbia were of an age corresponding to his behavior, the teachers would send him to the school psychologist and schedule a parent-teacher meeting with the school principal.

The dictatorship is in our minds. Our imagination is calibrated to its parameters. And that, in turn, instills fear. Which makes it harder to resist. Talk of arresting the rector is all about that.

The name-by-name list of victims of the NATO bombing has been available to the public since 2014. Among the deceased are many children – 81 victims were under the age of 16.

Among signatories expressing concern over powerful sonic disturbance during the protests in Belgrade, are Piketty, Balibar, Ernaux, Žižek, Butler, Fukuyama…

I feel sorry for the people in Serbia who keep looking to the student movement to provide them with a political solution, or act disappointed when the student movement refuses to do so.

At this moment, I do not see a stronger show of solidarity or a more effective anti-regime move than raising money for workers in schools across Serbia. Many have already lined up to donate.

Citizens who protested in front of the Belgrade Assembly were attacked and beaten – with chains, cables, clubs, umbrellas – by members of a private company hired to safeguard the Assembly building.

After claims that the opposition was nonexistent, surviving only on sterile salon statements, a sudden dramatic action resisted the irrational ruling mob.

The shifting stance toward Russia is not just about diplomatic maneuvering but a response to the crisis of capitalism, where the current model of accumulation in the U.S. faces structural challenges.

The student march to Kragujevac from Novi Pazar reminded me of the conversation between a young man named Fikret and Zoran Đinđić in May 2002. Fikret asked Đinđić about inter-ethnic relations.

LINKS – Serbian protests exhibit characteristics of spontaneity, with substantive but limited mass participation and no clear leadership capable of linking the demands to a broader class struggle.

The problem is not a “lack of mutual respect” as you said, but rather the brutal violence that one party, the ruling party in Serbia, inflicts on its citizens.

The Guardian – The students’ demands may sound minor. They have asked institutions to demonstrate that they will do their jobs unimpeded by the regime, and in the public interest.

I live in Prague, but I follow student protests daily. I am convinced that students from Belgrade have given birth to another European non-violent revolution and that we will soon learn its name.

DwP – Reception of the works of Ognjen Glavonić, one of the most important filmmakers of the younger generation in Serbia, illustrate some of the mechanisms used to bunker undesirable films.
