What's happening in Serbia

[Nević Nenad]

I think this is a reasonable position to take, but it may not be true all the time; for instance, I can see a scenario where a non-American may know more about American politics than the majority of Americans, eg. an Ambassador or diplomatic staff of a foreign country.


I definitively do not have enough knowledge of Serbian politics to refute this, but I'm yet to be convinced by your statements. Vucic, to me, does not appear psychopathic, more like a man caught between different sets of interests and trying to "sit on two stools". I don't have anything particularly positive to say about him, but I don't think he's as smart or as evil as you make him out to be, either. There's a bland, "wishy-washy-ness" to him that is unfortunately characteristic of a lot of Australian politicians.

I'm aware that Vucic looks too doofy to be easily accepted as being psychopathic, but his deeds speaks of him. He's in politics more than 30 years, since his university days (BTW, its question did he ever finished university because his political party then leader was his professor and mentor on the university) and all that time he is known as negative person. Only in recent ten years or so, when thru machinations he grabbed the power, he tries thru media, which are under his total control, to send image of him as "good and a man with vision". Of course with the help of Tony Blaire and a couple of israeli PR companies he pays heavily. There are rumors, that he also managed to corrupt some foreign journalists and diplomats. Why not, he is not giving money from his own pocket, but countries money.

I dont think that he have any vision or interest that he follow which could caught him sitting on two stools, except his own financial interest. During the years he played with that web of lies, sell offs, selling, giving country assets, promising anyone that which is not his and many else, and all of that came to collect now.

There is one plain thing which could speak of his psychopathy. Total lack of creativity. If opposition spoke (back in times when opposition existed) about one problem, he would speak of the same but totally opposite, if students made walks around the country, he made his anti-walks, he even made his anti-students, whom he calls "students who wants to learn" (his party thugs and paid petty criminals) and so on.

There is one huge difference between Vucic and Australian politicians, or any other organized country's politicians. In Australia, I believe, exists country's system. There is legislative, judicial and executive parts of the system. Of course, that can work only partially, or be corrupted on some way and\or level, but generally exists and applies also for any official. There is always a chance that some part of the system works and that some corrupted official, for some interest, would be caught and persecuted. In Serbia, that system exists only on paper, in reality not even in traces. Any official, and of course Vucic can do whatever he or she wants. And of course if he or she make a deal with Vucic. In the last ten years Vucic turned Serbia into feudal state. We still dont have a horse as a senator, but we have Markos Djurics, criminals, thugs and prostitutes in Parliament, as heads of ministries, cities, important system firms (which are dissolving by that, of course), and so on. All that system of corruption and stealing is there just to suck of, or launder, any money there is in country, or can be made by selling, giving or making promise (in exchange for money).
