What Vučić cannot ignore is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve future membership in the European Union...
If the Serbian student movement is to become a party, then in the upcoming autumn elections it could be led by the rector of the University of Belgrade, Vladan Đokić, who has lined up alongside the young people who took to the streets and who, after the tragedy at the Novi Sad railway station, have become more numerous every day.
What happened on November 1, 2024 in the capital of Vojvodina, where a shelter built by a Chinese company collapsed, killing 16 people, sparked a wave of protests against corruption, negligence, and lack of transparency in public affairs.
" From the beginning, I have supported the students, their truly democratic way of thinking and their aim to change the country in line with European values," the architect and urban planner said in an interview with El Mundo.
"I believe that the majority of citizens are moving in the same direction ," adds Gjokić, who reiterates the pro-European spirit of the student protests and denounces attacks on the freedom and autonomy of academic institutions. The main opponent of the anti-corruption movement is President Aleksandar Vučić, a Trump admirer and the chief conductor of a country that has sought to join the European Union but maintains close ties with Vladimir Putin's Russia.
It was precisely the Kremlin leader who inspired Serbia's number one, the head of the Progressive Party (a national-conservative political formation), when he hinted at his intention to resign and run for the post of prime minister, which he has already held from 2014 to 2017.
“If the party wants it, I will help it gain the trust of the people ,” he said. In short, revolving doors in Belgrade's institutions.
What Vučić cannot ignore is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve future membership in the European Union with a stance against sanctions against Russia and with a disregard for democratic standards. This is evidenced by the opposition of a group of European Union countries, including the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and the Baltic states, to the opening of a new chapter of membership negotiations, which was reiterated just a few days ago in Brussels. The Serbian scenario is in motion. However, in any case, many things can change. / Adapted from "Pamphlet" by "Corriere della Sera"
