hey! i would really appreciate if everyone who sees this gets educated about whats happening in my country
haven't been posting here because i'm tired and scared. my country (serbia) is protesting against the corrupt goverment after 15 people died when a roof of a train station fell on their heads and the goverment is refusing to take responsibility. it turned into masssive protests led by students who are blocking the streets, stopping and being silent for 15 minutes (to honor the 15 victims) and blocking the schools while not attending classes. things are getting messier and messier each day now with high school seniors standing up as well, the police brutally beating up the protesters and even throwing petards at LITERAL ADOLESCENTS. i've been busy with joining the protests, helping my fellow classmates with the organisation at school, but mostly, this whole thing is having a pretty bad impact on my mental health. we have no idea whats going to happen. i haven't really been in the mood to draw lately, but i will soon be back with more art i promise <3

Mass student protests erupt in Belgrade
Students from universities across Serbia staged a mass protest in front of the state broadcaster, Radio and Television of Serbia (RTS), bne IntelliNews reported.
The protesters blocked movement in the centre of Belgrade and interrupted the evening news broadcast of RTS on Thursday. The student protests are part of a wider wave of dissent sweeping Serbia following the Novi Sad train station collapse on 1 November. The tragedy killed 15 people and seriously injured two others.
The students accused the government of corruption, mismanagement and failure to address systemic challenges revealed by the disaster. By late afternoon, the demonstrators grew louder in an attempt to disrupt the 19:30 news programme. The students claimed that RTS had failed to provide fair coverage of their protests and alleged that the broadcaster was spreading misinformation about their activities.
On 8 December, several farmers’ associations met in Badovinci in the west of the country to announce their intention to join the protests, expressing solidarity with the students and others.
The farmers express their full support to the students and their demands, as well as to all dissatisfied citizens who demand the government’s responsibility.
University blockades spread across Serbia, with more than 40 state faculties halting work. President Aleksandar Vučić tried to quell the unrest by promising to fulfil all student demands and calling for a halt to the protests. He also announced a 20-per-cent increase in funding for higher education institutions by 2025 on Thursday.
Key demands of the protesters included the publication of documents related to the reconstruction of the train station, which Vučić promised to do on 11 December, as well as the release of detained protesters. With farmers and other movement groups joining in, the coming weeks are likely to test the government’s ability to deal with public discontent.

🇷🇸🇽🇰 SERBIAN PRESIDENT ALEKSANDAR VUCIC ASKS NATO TO TAKE OVER POLICING IN NORTHERN KOSOVO
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met with the ambassadors of five Western countries and the EU in Belgrade on Tuesday, Sept 26th where he demanded the NATO Kosovo Forces (KFOR) take over, "all the Security matters in the North of Kosovo instead of (Kosovo Prime Minister) Kurti's Police.
The demand comes just one day after a major gun battle ensued in the village of Banjska in Kosovo on Sunday. A group of 30 Militant Serbs ambushed a Kosovo Police Unit, resulting in the death of a Police Officer along with multiple attackers and ending with an hours long standoff in a local Monastery.
The shootout marked one of the deadliest episodes since Kosovo declared independence from Serbia with Western support in 2008. Western leaders had been looking to normalize ties between the two countries, but so far have seen little success.
KFOR Forces currently number 4'500 soldiers stationed in Kosovo.

The EU Doesn’t Know How to Not Be a Vassal of the US Anymore
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has tried to show Americans how Washington has exploited Western Europe
— Bradley Blankenship | RT | August 22, 2023
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/21516b95d5163af1ee5ddeb5d2399e06/ef58c06760e06c75-b7/s540x810/7a49a44733fd5b35f6ad2c249b941ab3c3dd3ad5.jpg)

Tucker Carlson, of Fox News fame, recently met with Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic in Budapest, Hungary. The journalist pointed out that the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline has put a serious strain on the European Union’s economy and mentioned that the world was “resetting” in reaction to the conflict in Ukraine and the West’s pledged support for Kiev.
Carlson raises some good issues, and an important one to expand upon is the fact that the EU economy is lagging significantly since the outbreak of the war last year. A June piece by the Financial Times titled ‘Europe has fallen behind America and the gap is growing’ details how the EU is now considerably dependent on the US for its technological, security, and economic needs.
In terms of hard numbers, Jeremy Shapiro and Jana Puglierin of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) think tank have stated: ��In 2008, the EU’s economy was somewhat larger than America’s: $16.2tn versus $14.7tn. By 2022, the US economy had grown to $25tn, whereas the EU and the UK together had only reached $19.8tn. America’s economy is now nearly one-third bigger. It is more than 50 per cent larger than the EU without the UK.”
The article goes on to describe a European Union that is dragging far behind the US and China in terms of quality universities, a less-than-pristine start-up environment, and lacking key benefits from its transatlantic peer – namely cheap energy. The Ukraine conflict has impacted the latter to the point that EU companies are paying three or four times what their American competitors are, with Washington being energy-independent and enjoying great domestic supplies. Meanwhile, energy from Russia is waning, European factories are closing in droves, and industry leaders are worried about the region’s future competitiveness.
The ECFR issued its own report on the matter in April, which is far blunter in describing the situation as a kind of “vassalization.” The summary of that report notes that the Ukraine war has exposed the EU’s key dependencies on the US, that over the course of a decade, the bloc has fallen behind the US in virtually every key metric, that it is deadlocked in disagreement and is looking to Washington for leadership.
The ECFR noted two causes for this situation. Firstly, despite the widely understood decline of the US compared to the rise of China, the transatlantic relationship has been unbalanced in Washington’s favor over the last 15 years since the 2008 financial crisis. The Biden administration is keen to exploit this and assert itself in the face of a disjointed Europe. Secondly, no one in the EU knows what greater strategic autonomy could look like – let alone agree on it if they did. There exists no process to decide the EU’s future in an autonomous way given the current status quo, which means US leadership is necessary.
This paints quite an interesting picture. Many commentators, including myself, have long documented the decline of the US and attributed it to a number of factors: less of an attractive environment for foreign direct investment (FDI), financial instability, corruption, and internal political turmoil. This is, of course, relativized to China, which has seen immense economic growth since the founding of the People’s Republic and particularly over the past four decades. But under the smoke screen of a fumbling America and a growing China, the EU has likewise fallen in stature.

The Western Establishment just gave itself a ‘World Peace and Liberty’ Award! Ursula von der Leyen received the ‘Judicial Equivalent’. The Western Establishment just gave itself a ‘World Peace and Liberty’ Award. Ursula von der Leyen received the ‘Judicial Equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize’ from Justin Trudeau in a perfect self-congratulatory orgy
As for the two causes noted by the ECFR, they seem to be intertwined. Many of the key issues that have faced the EU, from migration to the banking crisis to Covid-19, have stemmed directly from the non-federal nature of the EU. And the current political crises are a result of Euroskepticism, i.e. a backlash against what is perceived as an overreach from Brussels by some political organizations within the bloc. The EU is a complicated and sometimes cumbersome bureaucracy that is cherished by some, reviled by others, and, under these assumptions, is an impediment to strategic autonomy.
The ECFR essentially argues for the EU and Western European capitals to lean into the transatlantic partnership, but on terms favorable to themselves. This includes creating an independent security architecture within and complimentary to NATO, creating an economic NATO of sorts and even pursuing a European nuclear weapons program. At least the former two are acceptable, as abandoning the US outright would be politically foolish for the EU at this juncture. It certainly needs to develop a transatlantic free-trade agreement that puts an end to American trade protectionism.
However, the obvious point to help diversify the Western European economic portfolio, reduce genuinely problematic dependencies, and fuel growth is for the EU to develop peer-to-peer relations with the Global South. For one, the EU Parliament could right now ratify the China-EU Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI) to help their companies gain market access in China and tap into one of the world’s largest consumer bases. I would also argue, as I’ve done in the past, that the EU and China could cooperate – rather than compete – on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in the Global South because of Europe’s historical connections, due to its colonialist past.
What is clear is that the EU needs to diversify and back off from the transatlantic relationship. With much talk about ‘de-risking’, or even ‘de-coupling’, from China, Western Europe has actually gotten into the position where it is strategically dependent on Washington to the point of being outright vassalized. This is a bleak situation for the EU’s growth model and its hopes for strategic autonomy.

Tens of thousands rally against Serbia's populist leader
Tens of thousands of people rallied again in downtown Belgrade on Friday, demanding the resignation of Serbia’s populist president and warned of “radicalisation” of the peaceful protest if their demands aren’t met — all in the wake of two mass shootings that stunned the nation. The protesters carried posters of President Aleksandar Vucic and his close ally Prime Minister Ana Brnabic dressed in…

today the whole of Serbia stayed without inter city transport, kids had their school trips canceled and people had to miss important birthdays and weddings because our dictator bought all buses and blackmailed an x% of the population (with 10$ and a sandwich) that was in many cases forced to join his party to come to belgrade to his massive meeting organized to oppose the protests against violence that were organized after two mass shootings that occurred earlier this month

Vučić accused of encouraging violence against students
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić faces criminal charges of incitement to violence, filed by a civil society organisation after a driver crashed into a student protest in Belgrade, according to Euractiv.
On Thursday, a car drove into a crowd gathered to commemorate the victims of the Novi Sad incident and hit a female student. She rolled on the bonnet and then the roof before falling to the ground.
Security tried to stop the driver from leaving the scene, but he escaped. The civil movement Go-Change said it had filed a criminal complaint against Vučić for repeatedly downplaying the responsibility of drivers ramming their cars into crowds of demonstrators. The lack of action directly encouraged violence against students peacefully expressing their opinion, Go-Change emphasised.
Students across Serbia have been staging protests and blocking traffic for weeks, demanding responsibility for the collapse of a canopy at the newly renovated railway station in Novi Sad, where 15 people perished and two others were severely wounded.
On 1 December, Vučić issued a statement after a similar hit-and-run, questioning the need to prosecute and arrest drivers. He stated that the driver was just “going his way.”
Those who claim that such drivers should be arrested should splash their faces with cold water.
Go-Change declared that such statements “must not go unpunished.” The EU Delegation in Serbia also reacted to the incident, calling for a swift investigation.
Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dačić said the suspected driver was found within 15 minutes of the incident. He had previously been convicted seven times for previous offences.

Serbia’s President has come out and said that World War 3 is expected in 3-4 months. Why do we care? Because he has ties to China, and Russia. So probably knows more than a few other world leaders.
That time frame also puts a Chinese invasion of Taiwan before Taiwan’s rainy season.
Oh, and Russia and Belarus are building up forces again, like Russia did before the invasion of Ukraine.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has issued a stark warning that the escalating tensions between Russia and the West could lead to all-out war within the next three months. This alarming statement follows Russian President Vladimir Putin's ominous message to the West, suggesting he is approaching "a point of no return".
In an interview with Switzerland's Die Weltwoche, Vucic revealed that Serbian officials have been instructed to "check the stocks of oil, flour and sugar" in light of the increasing threat of global conflict.
When questioned about the proximity to a third world war, the Serbian leader replied: "I believe we are not far from it. Not more than three, four months. And there is a danger to happen even before that."

Vucic ennustab sõja peatset eskaleerumist
Serbia president Aleksandar Vucic andis intervjuu Šveitsi ajalehele "Die Weltwoche".
Vucic ennustab, et Ukraina sõda viib kolme-nelja kuuga, kui mitte varem, eskaleerumisele ja täielikule katastroofile.
Nagu ma asjast aru saan, hakkab Ukraina sõda kaotama, aga Ukrainat toetav NATO on otsustanud seda takistada.
Vucic teatab, et tõeline häda tuleb seetõttu, et maailma suured jõud ei võta midagi ette ja mitte keegi pole huvitatud sõja lõpetamisest.
Katastroof tuleb sisepoliitilistel põhjustel: ei Putin ega ka NATO ei saa endale lubada lüüasaamist.
Kui Putin sõja kaotab, siis on ta poliitiline laip. Kui Ukraina sõja kaotab, siis on NATO geopoliitiliselt lüüa saanud.
Seetõttu ennustab Vucic sõja peatset eskaleerumist. Siiski ei kasuta ta väljendit "kolmas maailmasõda". Küll aga kontrollib tema presidendina oma riigi kütuse- ja toiduvarusid.
Veel teatab Vucic, et läänes väga alahinnatakse Venemaad ja Putinit.
