Tonight in Belgrade, a gathering is set to mark Vidovdan, and State Secretary Ivan Bosnjak is calling for peace and dignity. No matter how many people show up, the event is expected to pass without violence, under full control of Serbia’s security services and coordinated with international partners. Bosnjak pointed out that media portrayals of the event are often contradictory and confusing for the public. He emphasized that dialogue is the only way out of the current political tensions, which have been fueled by offensive statements from former politicians and activists. Although there have been few chances for open talks between opposing sides, Bosnjak hopes Vidovdan will bring a turning point and stability to Serbia. People are expected to leave peacefully after 9 PM with no clashes. If you thought tonight’s gathering would be just another boring political story, think again — this is a chance to see if Serbian unity can survive in a time full of political blows and media manipulation. So, what do you think — will peace win or are we in for another hot political autumn? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s the optimist and who’s the pessimist!
