Astrobiology, ‘The colour out of space?’
Excerpt from Milan M. Cirkovic’s book published by Cambrigde University Press.
The first and the last report on corruption and the media
In late September 2011, two important media documents were adopted.
The face of Serbia
How Tomislav Nikolic reduced the number of guests at his inauguration by four.
A critique of eclectic reason
During the campaign, they still flirted with us a bit, now all that’s left for us is criticism.
Where I stopped, I shall continue
Boris Tadic has introduced a new type of hereditary democracy – succeeding oneself.
Prime minister
This is no longer only about Tadic, but also about the party, which lacks the strength to accept reality.
The moment of truth
Boris Tadic almost won his third, unconstitutional term. This should have been a routine operation.
Giving the mandate to form the government
It is not a discretionary right of the President. He cannot choose to whom he will offer the mandate.
The time of cohabitation
By choosing Nikolic, the voters didn`t have the impression that they were choosing different politics.
2012 election legal brief
How would the allegations of mass vote theft be dealt with in a state ruled by law?
What have the elections revealed?
Surgically precise interventions failed in the case of the LDP in Belgrade.
Cedomir vs. LDP
It`s time for Jovanovic to stand in front of a mirror, and begin a process of deep introspection.
Drive on, everyone is on board!
Primary impression is that everything is taking place in an airless space of a compromised reality.
Serbia’s foreign policy
“Democracy First!” means “Serbia First!” The European Union doesn’t really need Serbian democracy.
Organized electoral theft
There are enough indications to seriously examine the possibility of organized electoral fraud.
Judiciary, electoral commisions, Vlachs, Djoka = Déjà vu
Its 1996, and Milosevic and his gang are caught red-handed trying to steal the elections.
Understanding Hungary?
Hungary can be understood much better when observed from the south than from a north/northwest.
The pillars of domestic affairs
Jagodina is a symbol of the failed idea to modernize Serbia which was promoted by Zoran Djindjic.
A night of fun
As if it was not enough that we were living the jokes, our politicians deemed it wise to start telling us more.
The invisible hand
The invisible hand does not exist; laws, however, which govern individual and political actions, do.
March to the Ode of joy
Goran Bregovic, born in Sarajevo, wrote a song as a present to Boris Tadic, who was also born in this city.
The uncontrolled combustion
In Novi Sad, grief will soon be replaced by demands to determine the responsibility for the tragedy.
Tadic’s elections
In normal countries, presidential elections are called after a president’s mandate is over.
NATO bombing of Yugoslavia for beginners
Utter the word war among Serbian youth; they will be convinced that you are reffering to NATO bombing, not to the wars in Croatia, Bosnia or Kosovo.
Mixed marriages
The bullet mailed to Suljagic was not ment only to him, but to all those who believe in multiethnic Bosnia.
The paradox of Dobrica Cosic’s defeat
Muslims are Ustashas, Croats are – also Ustashas, while Serbs are the victims.
Deepening and widening the Europe
Enlargement and the integration capacity of the EU: past experience and future prospects.
The fall of Zoran’s republic
National Library celebrated 180 years; in the honorary seat sat an accused war criminal, Milan Milutinovic.
The idiot without Dostoevsky
An option “You are good for nothing, I vote for none of you” has enraged the politicians.
Footnotes
A footnote has lost its innocence and now corresponds to the recognition of an entire state.
Human rights defender of the month – Svetlana Lukic
The majority of media outlets in Serbia are heavily controlled by political and business elites.
At home abroad
The Balkans proved that what we call identity is only a function of the prevailing order.
