Vidovdan is here, and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has decided to hand out awards to deserving individuals and institutions. Great! While Serbia faces serious problems, from American sanctions to a ban on arms exports, our president is busy handing out medals. Is this really the time to celebrate?
As Vučić proudly hands out awards, real dramas unfold behind the scenes. Sanctions threatening the operations of NIS, a company majority-owned by Russian Gazpromneft, are not just numbers on paper. Vučić himself says he hopes for another delay in sanctions but is also preparing other scenarios.
Meanwhile, Serbia is grappling with international pressure, and the Ministry of Defense, following Vučić’s instructions, has halted the export of weapons and ammunition. Yes, you read that right — arms exports are stopped, and ammunition is only going to domestic barracks. Is this a sign that something serious is brewing, or just another political game?
Vučić boasts that there are people you can’t scare or blackmail, but is that enough to get Serbia out of these troubles? While awards are being handed out, ordinary citizens are left wondering — what’s next?
If you think this is just another show for the public, you’re not alone. But hey, maybe it’s time for you to speak up. Drop a comment, crack a joke, or just chime in — because Serbia deserves to hear the voice of its people, not just Vidovdan awards.
