Chaos in Serbia: Blockades that Break the Country and Political Games that Cost Us All!
Serbia is on the edge of a nervous breakdown, and the culprits? Blockades of major roads that paralyze the country and politicians playing dirty games on the backs of citizens! Srđan Barać from the Center for Social Stability leaves no doubt – the goal of the blockades is to destabilize Serbia, to keep citizens in fear, panic, and discomfort. Sounds like a disaster movie plot, right?
Blockades that Paralyze
Imagine not being able to get to work, school, or the doctor because the roads are blocked. Barać claims that this is exactly the goal – to paralyze the country and prevent timely response to tough international circumstances. And who is behind it? Eight suspects accused of organizing and preparing violent change of the state order, but the court refused to detain them. The judiciary is independent, they say, but pressure from the public and media creates an atmosphere of one-sided thinking and lynching.
Politicians or Professors? Who’s to Blame?
Barać doesn’t spare the academic community either. Rectors, deans, and professors who are political candidates abuse their positions to engage in politics. The problem is not in them as academics, but in their political engagement. This adds another layer of problems complicating the situation.
International Actors Concerned, but No Solutions
The European Parliament and Council of Europe send messages of concern, but no concrete proposals for crisis exit. The situation in Serbia is labeled unacceptable, but dialogue and solutions are missing. Messages from Brussels and Strasbourg often only fuel tensions instead of calming them.
Citizens Choose Peace, Not Chaos
On the other hand, Marina Raguš, Vice President of the Serbian Assembly, emphasizes that citizens of Kosjerić clearly choose results and concrete policies, not violence and chaos. Repeated elections in that place showed that people want stability, peace, and improved living standards, not anger and hatred.
Protests Losing Steam
Raguš notes that protest energy has started to decline, especially after the abuse of the tragedy in Novi Sad. Protests are now not tied to political programs but to violence – violence against anyone who thinks differently. This is a dangerous spiral leading to further polarization of society.
Dialogue as the Only Solution
Both interlocutors agree that dialogue is necessary. But not just any – experts in psychology, sociology, and psychiatry must help understand the deep traumas still burdening society. The wars of the 90s, economic crises, and political struggles have left deep scars.
Conclusion: Serbia at a Crossroads
Serbia today is a country at a crossroads – between chaos and stability, between violence and dialogue, between political games and real citizen needs. Blockades and protests may attract attention, but who really pays the price? Citizens who just want to live normally, without fear and panic.
If you thought this was just another political soap opera, think again. This is a drama unfolding on the streets, in courts, and in people’s minds. And you? Are you for chaos or peace? Or maybe you have your own recipe to get out of this madness? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s for what – maybe we’ll even have a laugh at the end!
