Political Science MA in Local Authority.
I live in Waterford, Ireland.
Journalist in the past life.
I mostly post about politics, but I also share some stuff about music and my travels now and then.
Plus, I’ve got a bunch of photos too!
Gigs in churches are unimaginable in Serbia. In Ireland, it is completely normal because churches are primarily cultural ajd social venues.

Napad na narodnog poslanika dok ulazi u zgradu parlamenta, prema članu 323 Krivičnog zakonika predstavlja napad na službeno lice u vršenju dužnosti. Poslanik se u tom trenutku smatra licem koje izvršava svoju funkciju. (1)

Diplomatski rečnik srpskih zvaničnika - ‘ruska braća’, ‘kineski prijatelji’, ‘američki partneri’ -često kaže više o naravi vlasti nego svi njihovi PR nastupi zajedno.

When the dictator and the authoritarian make a deal, democracy must respond decisively.

That bass line intro on She Bangs the Drums defined a generation- pure Mani magic. Farewell to a Manchester rock and roll legend.

Engaging difficult and unsettling thinkers is part of a healthy intellectual life. A democracy depends on argument and disagreement. The problem arises when interpretation begins to blur essential distinctions and is treated as an ultimate truth.

Ono čemu smo sinoć svedočili u Beogradu, ispred Skupštine, jeste ono što je Hana Arent nazvala banalnošću zla.

My latest opinion piece, “On the Right to Hold a Different Opinion,” explores the state of public debate in Serbia, dissent, and the urgent need for dialogue.

On the Right to Hold a Different Opinion
When public speech itself becomes a weapon, how can dialogue survive? How do we rebuild a shattered pluralist ecosystem—one that allows Serbia to breathe again?

The new EP resolution signals a clear shift in EU policy toward Vučić. Brussels is moving from cautious engagement to open criticism, prioritising Serbia’s civil society and democratic standards over the president’s stalled reform narrative. 🇷🇸🇪🇺 www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docume...

Vidi, da nije možda stigla jesen?
Traži i naći ćeš u sebi truo hrast
Gore u nama je bujica reči
Dole u nama je jesenji strah

"Granica nije mogla da podeli miris jorgovana koji se širio kroz prostor." (Ljuan Starova, 'Drugi pored mene')
Albanija je, iako tik pored nas, u očima prosecnog Srbina daleka, strana, opasna, i za zaobilazenje.

Kako pokrenuti dijalog u kojem će se osporiti stav srpske omladine (a verovatno i velikog dela ostatka srpskog društva) da je na Kosovu okupatorska vlast? Kako uvesti pluralizam mišljenja u dogmatske stavove društva? (Niz)

When a person consents to silence their own thoughts merely to survive, they surrender the most vital part of themselves: their humanity. open.substack.com/pub/aleksand...
In Serbia, Fear and Self-Censorship Shape a Submissive Society
Self-censorship has become part of daily life, woven into an unwritten manual on how to avoid conflict and stay out of trouble.

Strah i autocenzura oblikuju pokorno društvo
Već na prvi pogled, situacija u Srbiji liči na nikad napisanu priču, u kojoj zamišljamo pojedinca kako hoda kroz sumorni grad gde svako šapuće, gleda u pod i pokušava da bude nevidljiv.

Srbiji nedostaje pluralizma i demokratske debate kao žednom vode. Pluralizam znači da u društvu postoji i priznaje se više različitih mišljenja, vrednosti i identiteta, dok debata podrazumeva da se te razlike izražavaju i razmatraju u demokratskom okviru. U 🇷🇸 to ne postoji.
