Serbiens Präsident Vucic kündigt Neuwahl an

Nach Zusammenstößen im Kosovo: Serbien versetzt Armee in Bereitschaft

Die Serben hatten die Bürgermeisterwahlen im April boykottiert. Die Wahlbeteiligung lag deshalb nur bei 3,5 Prozent. Die Wahlen fanden in Gemeinden im Norden des Kosovos statt, in denen größtenteils ethnische Serben leben. Sie fordern Autonomie und weigern sich, mit den neuen, vier albanischen Bürgermeistern zusammenzuarbeiten.

Der serbische Präsident Aleksandar Vucic teilte dem staatlichen Sender RTS zufolge mit, er habe wegen der Zusammenstöße das serbische Militär in erhöhte Alarmbereitschaft versetzt. Zudem lasse er Soldaten an die Grenze zum Kosovo verlegen.

“I believe that our friends from Skopje and Tirana deserve the start of EU talks and I believe this should happen as soon as possible, which is not a matter of request, because both countries have done everything that was asked of them,” Vucic added.

He thanked Kovacevski and Rama for their “understanding” for Serbia’s unique position in its relations to Russia and for it not aligning with the EU on sanctions against Moscow over the war in Ukraine.

European intelligence has three favourites for the position of Serbian PM

Sinisa Mali, the current finance minister and former mayor of Belgrade, is mentioned first as a possible candidate. He is one of Aleksandar Vučić’s closest associates and has been involved in several scandals – from the destruction of the Savamala quarter in Belgrade to allegedly owning 24 apartments in Bulgaria. The University of Belgrade stripped him of his doctorate after it was confirmed that he had plagiarized his thesis.

According to European intelligence, Nikola Selaković, current Minister of Foreign Affairs, also has a chance to become the new PM. He is also a loyal associate of Aleksandar Vučić…

Psychologist: Public Manipulated, Crisis Headquarters Concealed the Truth

(25.06.2020)

„It is clear that we were manipulated, as well as that whether [the authorities] will tighten measures this weekend and relax measures or completely cancel them in the following month, has a lot to more to do with political interests“ than public health concerns, Trebjesanin told the latest issue of the Vreme magazine on June 25, commenting on the government‘s tactics for fighting the virus.

He also said that „the experts were idealized, the famous phrase ‚that‘s what the officials say‘ was used as a taboo, as if God himself had ordained it.“

He pressed ahead with a controversial general election on June 21 that most opposition parties had long planned to boycott, saying they did not want to legitimize a process that they feel is gamed in Mr. Vucic’s favor.

And to Mr. Vucic’s critics, his decision first to ease restrictions ahead of a vote that was certain to increase his power — and then reinstate them soon after — felt like he was playing politics with public health.
