You don’t dig digging?

The master of all trades didn’t like it when experts started expressing their opinions. He hurried among the ignorant to explain everything himself before the true information reached them.

No one’s victims

DwP – The trial against Croatian pilots initiated in Belgrade, which, according to the Humanitarian Law Center, initially reached the media, is now unavailable to the public and surrounded by ambiguities.

Lithium, c’est moi

The president explained that citizens are being lied to by everyone. He was surrounded by trees and grass. He was (supposedly) relaxed, unconcerned that anything could spoil the lithium plans.

Dominance of hostility

DwP – Both in Serbia and in Kosovo, we witness the strengthening of nationalism and right-wing populism and the constant production of crises, tensions, and fear of the Other.

It never happened

DwP – For seven years, from 1990 to 1997, the truth stood before the Serbian residents, but instead they were fixated on their “authoritarian regime” and its stories about “national suffering.”

Scorpion venom

The documentary made by the Scorpions themselves in July 1995 was part of their archive which they intended to show off after the war – when such criminals would be promoted to national heroes.

Stolen lives

DwP – By not prosecuting the war crime of the mass murder of Roma in Skočić, the thread of racism against Roma weaves into the statements and actions of Serbian officials today.

A vortex of violence

The other day, my younger daughter told me that her friends, celebrating the end of middle school, wanted to make T-shirts saying: “We don’t care about your Škodas, we have Lamborghinis.”

I believe in Niš

There is no reason to interpret opposition’s election results in Niš as a sign of broader positive change like in 1996/97. These are different times. Though the regimes are the same.

Wheeling and dealing

Citizens of Serbia, both individually or collectively, must make a decision. They are confronted with a regime mired in crime on one side, and a helpless and self-destructive opposition on the other.

A grotesque caricature

The Ministry of Interior (mis)informed the public that D.D. died of natural causes. If the expert’s report confirms that he died as a result of a beating, we are dealing with a deliberate deception.

Everyone keeps talking about Banjska

Macron and Vučić were simply merchants. This time, Vučić, as a buyer, did not come to Paris only for airplanes, a nuclear reactor… He also came for some positive propaganda.

Dačić’s referendum

It doesn’t matter if Dačić is in favour of the death penalty, it’s not even a question if a referendum would be supported. It is crucial it could not even be called in Serbia for legal reasons.

30 wasted years

There’s almost no Mostar Croat who would say that ethnic cleansing in the western part of the city and the camps did not happen and it’s impossible to find a person who hadn’t helped someone.

Crime that does (not) exist

In its Strategy for combating high-tech crime, the Ministry of the Interior doesn’t consider worth mentioning the fight against cyber violence affecting adults, primarily women.

(Not so) local elections in Turkey

Turkey will go to the polls on 31 March 2024 to elect local administrators. However, these elections will have political and social consequences far beyond the election of mayors.

Bastards

Vladimir Đukanović fiercely criticized the citizens of Serbia mourning the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. He called them “bastards” and “left liberals”.

Markale

DwP – February 5th was forever marked on Sarajevo’s memory map simply and undeniably as – Markale. That day 68 residents of besieged Sarajevo were killed, and almost 200 were wounded.

An untold (secret) story

Mauser was telling me about the dismissal of Stanišić and the arrival of Rade Marković and his boss Mira Marković at the head of state security. He told me that she ordered the murder of Ćuruvija.

Mr. Serbia

Your job, prof. Bilčík was told in Strasbourg when he took over this position from McAllister, is not to make the political system in Serbia more functional and more European.

Don’t read that

Is the trial meant to show us that the state has an answer and that it did not fall apart on May 3rd? The regime fired us up and encouraged us to seek revenge.

Maglaj, truth and propaganda

DwP – Maglaj is a municipality in Central Bosnia known for being a place where all three armies clashed, formed and switched alliances between the autumn of 1992 and winter of 1994.

Magic mountain

A. Vučić arrived in Davos as a branded autocrat, the leader of a band of thugs and ne’er-do-wells, the one who stole the election and extinguished the fundamental democratic rights of the citizens.

Never say sorry

In the year of 2024, three decades after the war, apologizing to the Bosniaks for the crimes committed is out of the question for Serbian officials. This little phrase seems further than ever.

Call 192 for elections

It is becoming clear that the key player in these elections is the police. It was the police who “won” the elections by compiling inaccurate electoral rolls and refusing to delete voting phantoms.
