Ifimes

I know ifimes is weird, but assuming tribute by Bogoljub Karic for Charlie Kirk was not on my bingo card

INTERVJU Biber za "Vijesti": Ako "padne" Vučić, Crna Gora će najviše profitirati

Ako bi Crna Gora ušla u EU, koja poruka bi time bila poslata Srbiji: da je razlog zašto ona nije ušla - sadašnja vlast. To nije poželjno za Vučića, i on će raditi ...

My take on protests in Serbia 🇷🇸 for Bloomberg www.bloomberg.com/news/article... @biepag.bsky.social

Serbia Protests: Student-led Demonstrations Aim to Unseat President Vucic

More violence over the summer has shown the depth of discontentment in a country that the EU has been trying to keep onside.

Ein kleiner Beitrag zu den Protesten in Serbien:
www.forschung-und-lehre.de/politik/prot...

Proteste an serbischen Universitäten eskalieren

Seit November wird gegen die Regierung von Präsident Vučić demonstriert. Nun gehen Ordnungskräfte gegen die friedlichen Studierendenproteste vor.

A hotel wants to build accommodation for workers on Hvar. HDZ reacts like a far-right party. The plan is urban genocide and population exchange. Classic problem, tourism, yes, workers to actually make work not.

Serbien: Präsident lässt Gewalt eskalieren, EU ist zurückhaltend

Serbiens Präsident Vucic antwortet mit Gewalt auf die Proteste. Von der EU kommt keine Kritik, weil sie wirtschaftliche Interessen hat, so Politologe Bieber.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

I am not sure it is only performative . These new 'guestworkers' have precarious contracts so the far-right gov. can get rid of them and they often come from countries seen as less 'problematic' After all the main anti-imigrant rhetoric focuses on migrants from Muslim and African countries.
