The sinking of the "cartel" in Belgrade

  The sinking of the "cartel" in Belgrade

Who is Alexander with? We are not asking about his regional friends and brothers! It seems to be a matter outside the regional brotherhood!

In Belgrade, as everywhere in the region, these days people have started getting drunk, some with whiskey and some with vodka. Everyone wants to eat, drink and get drunk for the night of the change of weather, and no one wants to deal with protests and strikes, at least not until after the Serbian New Year, which falls on January 7.

It is already known that, in Serbia, the government accuses the opposition united around the motto "Serbia against violence" of violence.

This looks like an attempt by the government to undo all the energy of the announced resistance, in a big public feast, aligning it with the festive atmosphere. Meanwhile, from the announced strike and popular resistance, in defense of the stolen vote, only the leader of the opposition, Marinka Tepič, is left, who, despite the doctors' recommendation, is not agreeing to end the strike. 

Browsing the Serbian media, including those of the opposition, the resistance seems completely unrealistic on the eve of the last holidays of the year.

The import of the electorate from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo brought the Serbian president's party another mandate, while the announced strike has been flooded by the festive atmosphere of the end of the year, just as the "Cartel" on the Sava river was flooded these days. This "Cartel" was just a floating cafe, a ferry adapted for a nightclub, where, due to the lack of security measures, it sank. That was the name of the bar, it was not about the Serbian "Cartels" that dominate the region. The local administration has warned that it plans to close a part of them, for non-compliance with the standards for this type of night club, where it is rumored that there is so much fun that not even the earth could hold it, let alone the citizens' pockets. simple, who live on wages.

A major political crisis was predicted and the dilemma of whether the current president will survive this turbulence. The wishes were accompanied by ideas that this crisis could topple him from power, as it once happened to former president Slobodan Milosevic.

Some will say that this was a small turbulence, and some may say that this is how big changes begin, with a group protesting and making impossible demands. Only when the demands are impossible can the fortune turn around, since real demands lead to compromise, and compromise does not change the situation, therefore...if you want changes, ask for the impossible.

Former president of Serbia Slobodan Milosevic was also accused of stealing votes before he fell. The popular revolt, also helped by the West, overthrew him from power, then by escort ... he was handed over to The Hague as a suspect for war crimes. As is known, he did not wait for the court verdict, he died in prison. His arrest and sending to The Hague was a shock to Serbian society at the time as the elites there were not yet ready for change. The academy, the church, politics were not ready to change the anti-Western course, which the Serbian society had taken to "survive" and to try to draw, with the blood of the defenseless peoples, the borders of Greater Serbia in the void. that was left over from the breakup of Yugoslavia.

But the replacement of Milosevic with a pro-Western one did not bring a democratic society, but after a few years it brought Serbian conservatives to power, who quickly liquidated not only the former pro-Western Prime Minister Djindjic, but also the very idea of ​​European Serbia.

The arrival of Tomislav Nikolić and then Aleksandar Vučić was equally an ideological compromise for an eastern Serbia that would appear western, conceived as "something in between", as an attempt to take the former role "neither east nor with the west" that Tito's former Yugoslavia had. But Vucic doesn't have the charisma of the former communist dictator, so to compensate, he talks, talks until he loses the thread.

It is the current Serbian president who plays this card in the relations between Europe and Russia, sometimes serving as a bridge, intermediary, and whatever is needed in the two-way, tense relations between Russia and the West.

Even Milosevic, who was once talked about as a "man of the Americans", presented himself as a very cooperative politician with the West, more or less as is currently happening with the power of Serbian President Vucic. Even the son of the former president Milosevic was once rumored as one of the crime leaders in Serbia and one of the richest people, who after the fall of his father, took refuge in Russia.

Family members of the current president and the family members of the Prime Minister in two terms, Brnabič, are similarly discussed. Their decline, warned by the opposition, is presented as the decline of crime cartels, but it seems that the only cartel that has fallen in Belgrade these days is the sinking of the floating cafe called "Karteli".

Whether the local government in Belgrade will ban most of the floating cafes on the Sava river, regardless of their name, or will tolerate the unrestrained nightlife on these floating "cartels", remains to be seen from the post-festive developments. Meanwhile, the Serbian President seems to survive even these stolen elections, helped by the imported electorate, since in the east and the west both sides seem to still believe that Alexander is with them.
