Vučić and Mandić: Serbia’s European Image Crumbles as Regime Suppresses Criticism
Serbia is on the brink of a European abyss, and Aleksandar Vučić along with Andrija Mandić are speeding up the fall! While Vučić clings to awards and thank-you notes, like the one Mandić received for “strengthening relations between Serbia and Montenegro,” the truth is far darker. Professor Žarko Korać leaves no doubt: Vučić’s regime panics at criticism, and Mandić’s political direction is not Brussels or Europe, but Belgrade and Moscow.
A Regime Afraid of Freedom
The expulsion of Montenegrin director Danilo Marunović for his criticism of Vučić is just the tip of the iceberg. Marunović is not the only thorn in the regime’s side – all who fight for a free Serbia and think critically become targets. Korać emphasizes that Vučić’s regime rewards only the loyal, like Mandić and Milorad Dodik, while critics are persecuted and expelled.
European Image in Ruins
While Vučić talks about a European future, his actions say otherwise. Korać clearly states that Mandić’s role model is Putin, not Brussels. Serbia, under Vučić, is losing grip and destroying an already dubious European image. Awarding Mandić, a man symbolizing a policy oriented towards Russian influence, only confirms that Vučić’s regime does not want true European integration.
Student Protests as Hope
However, not all is bleak. Korać is optimistic that the wave of student protests will bring a new government in Serbia, one that will not follow the SNS regime’s path. He stresses that a new Serbia will welcome people like Marunović with open arms and will have no place for rewarding Vučić’s loyalists like Mandić.
Final Word
Vučić’s regime is panicking, and its moves clearly show fear of freedom and criticism. While Serbia fights for a European future, the government chooses a path backward, towards authoritarianism and Russian influence. If you think this is just another political game, think again – Serbia’s future is at stake.
