Spread of "Serbia against violence" protest: Strong message, we maturing

Professor Dusan Vucicevic from the Faculty of Political Sciences said that organizers should think about how to hold protests in mid-July.

"I guess they

the authorities] are waiting for the summer to come and the protests to thin out, so it is important that the protests continue at the beginning of September. This is not a sprint, but a kind of marathon, and then the authorities would be in an awkward position. The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS)wouldn’t like going to the elections if they have tens of thousands of people on the streets," he said.

Political consultant Dušan Milenković believes that two things are important for the protest:

"The first way is the way in which people are getting rid of fear and if they are threatened by the system, they publicly express and emphasize that they are fighting against violence in Serbia. The second is that everyone is fighting against one evil and one problem and that political diversity should come when Serbia becomes a normal country."

Ivana Stevanovic from the "Slavko Curuvija" Foundation said that "citizens have changed their attitude and awareness", as well as "parties that are logistical support are learning and changing, we are all just maturing."

When asked what she thinks about Pink TV Zeljko Mitrovic's announcements of new projects, despite promises that there will be no "Zadruga" reality TV show, Stevanovic said that the big problem is in the State regulator.

"That institution is completely enslaved and serves the interests of TV tycoons and politicians in power, it is not up to the task for which it was elected. Missteps are normalized here, the president of the country really must not interfere in the work of any television, but it is simply another type of manipulation, it is slander. The reality show has not been abolished, it is only escalating things. It's laughing in the face of the citizens," Stevanovic concluded.
