Vidovdan, once a symbol of Serbian unity, is turning into a day of division and tension this year. Experts warn that the blockades in Belgrade are not peaceful protests but planned violent moves aimed at destabilizing Serbia. Recorded conversations reveal detailed plans to storm media outlets, institutions, and the government, while the opposition uses demands they know will be rejected as an excuse for violent regime change. Former lieutenant colonel Ljuban Karan and journalist Predrag Azdejković emphasize that the goal of the blockades is to degrade and weaken Serbia in the Balkans, while portraying themselves as victims before the international community. The historical significance of Vidovdan, celebrated since the 19th century in memory of Prince Lazar and the heroes of the Battle of Kosovo, is completely distorted. Instead of being a day of unity, Vidovdan has become a pretext for conflicts and accusations, including baseless claims of genocide. Experts warn this is a dangerous game with national symbols, and history is once again used as a tool for political provocations. As Serbia faces these internal divisions, the question remains whether the people can preserve their long-term memory and unity or fall victim to external and internal manipulations. If you think this is just another political soap opera, consider how far some are willing to go to shatter social peace on a day that has been sacred for centuries. So, what do you think — has Vidovdan really become a symbol of discord, or is there still hope for unity? Drop a comment, maybe your word will break this vicious cycle!
