Well the last protests were about Vucic wanting to let Rio Tinto build a Lithium mine in a place that would make it an ecological disaster.. So.. you know.. draw your conclusions.
@YugoslavForever That's not always true: some French channels have been focusing a lot on Georgian protests in the past month. Serbia, on the other hand, has been mostly ignored from what I've seen: there's already so much going on with Gaza, the US and maybe Ukraine as far as foreign news go.
Because he sold Litium rights to destroy half the country to Germany, so they dont want to spread this, because if leadership changes they lose the lithium and Serbia gets to keep its land

64 million euros in sweden, would not even build a basic station. The most expensive railroad upgrade project in europe per km is "Ostlänken" which despite being rather short has surpassed 10 billion euros and is only 150km long and is still not finished and prices keep climbing. They have even planned to build the end station at skavsta airport beaneath an active airport (imagine the cost to tunnel and build undearneath an existing complex like that. The whole project is VERY silly.
One small correction, the students started off by blocking the roads for 15 minutes every friday at 11:52 (day and time of the collapse) to pay respect to the 15 victims. This was followed by assault on the protesting students, and that was the straw that broke the camels back, and that caused university blockades and protests
"Assault on the protesting students", who assaulted them? One of the main terms of the students, atleast the ones from FTN, were that they view the documents and paperwork, what do you think makes them qualified for this job, you are supporting bogus claims with no ground to stand upon.
3:44 Unemployment did not decrease, because people that were taken of the Employment Agency list just moved abroad. A lot of people emigrated from Serbia during last decade. I know that well because I am one of them. It can be fairly easily researched.
That is something visible in all of balkans, but i can truly say Vucic's government are treating internal politics very horribly. You guys need to get rid of him.

Just to be aware that this students protests does not address Vučić at all. Requests are that institutions do their jobs. According to the Constitution of Serbia, presedent of Serbia does not has authority at this matter at all. Shoud institutions start to do their jobs, they will aslo need to check Vučić actions also, because he does not follow the law.
Finally a proper comment. Many things can be true at the same time: that there is corruption and push for vote and that majority supports this guy. I dislike that TLDR does not elaborate more on economy improvement in Serbia which is typically a bottom line for regular folks. And honestly, yes protests are paid by west. the cheap retoric, the uneducated bully approach, the corruption of ruling elite all speak against the fact that Serbia is chuck full of smart, hard working, motivated people. The dichotomy between country leadership and its base is killing me. But people that live in Serbia need to decide.

Renovation of the entire railway station was 65mil, but the renovation of the building itself was 16mil, even tho estimates by CIP said it should cost 3.5mil. So, from what I understand, that 16mil is part of the enitre 65mil reconstruction

3:43 - very important to note: unemployment rate is going down because they changed the formula/definition of unemployment and started counting things like summer jobs as being employed that year, making the unemployment numbers plummet. Of course, it's just a hoax, like everything they do.
@@ChillNikovLeaving the country is romanticized here Going into politics is villified as thieves only go there That's what our culture has been teaching people for at least a decade It's sadly not surprising at all
There are foreign payed players in Serbia's opposition, but they are getting kicked out of protests. They are voltures looking to use the protests for their gain, so we must be careful if we want to topple Vucic. He is a very smart politician and master of manipulation
As a serb i can not belive you did research on your own for this video, you have so many details and you covered everything so well that I can not belive that you don't have a friend or a writer from serbia who helped you with this. But on the other hand I can not belive that somebody from serbia wrote so objective video without prasing neather the opposition nor the SNS. Really amazing work abnormally abnormally good job. If you really have someone from serbia helping you with this he has done amusing job keep him at all costs, and if you did this by yourself I don't know how to explain to you how good of a job you have done.
Just a couple of things to put in perspective: 1. The only real organic support Vučić has is from older, communist boomers who see him almost as new Tito. SNS as a party has much lower support than him and his own personality cult is keeping it afloat. 2. These protests are not against Vučić, they are for very clear and detailed demands started by students, directed at institutions to do their jobs and punish those responsible for the deaths of 15 people. One of the key demands is transparency in regards to the contract and due process, to see who was responsible for it and needs to be punished in accordance with the law 3. Vučić is desperately trying to make these protests about him to sort of defend the corruption with his own personality cult but protesters are fundamentally ignoring him. A president under Serbia's constitution is a ceremonial figure with little to no executive power, him stepping out of line is unconstitutional in itself. So, protesters are ignoring him as it's not his jurisdiction anyway . 4. Protesters have stressed out they don't have formal leaders and don't want anything to do with the opposition as the issue of rule of law is not and must not be party - specific. Rule of law needs to be above any political party and they are not protesting to replace Vučić or his party anyway, they are protesting for the institutions to do their jobs. 5. It's very clear that the issue strikes deep into the hearth of governing party (maybe even Vučić himself) so they are not willing to meet demands in any case, with Vučić's own popularity and the popularity of his party in free fall. He might not even be able to meet demands or his entire regime will unravel so it's possible that the government itself collapses even with the bad and disorganized opposition 6. And finally, these started as protests in November but only escalated ever since, first by students, professors and deans shutting down universities, then the same happened in high schools, and even elementary/middle schools, then lawyers joined the strikes as well as some workers from the biggest (state owned) power company. The issue keeps escalating as more and more people join in with strikes and boycotts. Tomorrow (Jan 24.), there is a 1 day general strike planned that many private businesses (raging from bakeries to nightclubs) and workers joined together with massive boycotts, protests, blockades etc. It will be interesting to see where this leads but neither side is obviously willing to step down as the protests escalate and people demand legal prosecution of everyone responsible for the tragedy
1. The only real organic support Vučić has is from older, communist boomers who see him almost as new Tito. SNS as a party has much lower support than him and his own personality cult is keeping it afloat. Not true. I met only young people in Serbia so far that support him. Don't try to insult voters of a different opinion than yours with labels. You are part of the problem by doing so.
You aren't a mass, and please stop with the stupid lies. I bet if I told you that he was responsible for, let's say, the 9/11 attacks, you would believe it because you just can't stand a good and powerful Serbia.
FINALLY! I've been waiting for so long to hear foreign thought on this. I know we are not as big as other countries but it feels like nobody outside the Balkans is even aware that this is going on. The governemnt is growing more authoritarian but the iron will of the protestors has not been broken. They've kept on protesting at their colleges even when the government tried to freeze them out. Every town in Serbia has seen at least some form of protest. Even the SNS strongholds have seen massive numbers of people going out into the streets.
@@simonsimonovic4478 From what I gather, Orban is a bit more open/mask off with his fascistic tendencies. Vučić still keeps a thick veil of liberalism on.

He has both radical leftists and radical rightists in his party... he has absolutely everything in his ranks. His only ideology is power and control. And he is a mentally unstable person, or even outright crazy

It will just get worse, Serbs have a tendency to elect more aggressive politicians after Passive corrupt politician was dethroned. And what happed last 2 times when it happened, some kind of war swepts the region.
Power hungry politicians never learn the lesson that all power is temporary and, in the end, you still die. So being self-serving is pretty self-defeating as well.
Educate yourself, please. The protestors were interviewed and still had no idea why they were there. Is it ok to smash up government buildings for no reason? Is it good to pull a shield out of a policeman's hand and tell the media the cop assaulted you when, in reality, the poor man didn't want to let go of his riot shield? Is it ok for the organizers of the protest to not know the names of the victims who died due to the structure being OLD and being built in the communist era times of Yugoslavia? Is it ok for protestors to fly drones in a restricted area? They block roads on New Year's Eve, and for Christmas, they protest even if they don't know what for and the leaders of the protest are beating each other up and arguing. When you look at the situation from a wider perspective, you will start to realize how shit the entire situation is.
@makimaxx2311 Educate yourself, please The protestors that were randomly interviewed knew why they were there, vandalism has not been a part of the protests either (or at least 90% of them though I don't know of any that turned to vandalism) Pretty much all the physical altercations were started by a group attacking someone from the protests They've been peaceful by nature and have stayed that way, and most people that are there know why they're there Students went on TV to say that as well lol, you can google this shit in 10 seconds to realize that you're wrong But no, you're gonna push a wrong narrative
The lack of a suitable opposition is a big issue at the current moment. While Vucic's corruption and control over media is a massive issue, most people see the opposition parties as "Fifth columnists" who will do more harm to the country than good. The problem with Vucic is that he's a very smart and competent man, which is far more dangerous than anything else. He knows how to play the international and, more importantly, the media game. So much so that he is the country's undisputed central figure. One way in which this is clear is in the older generation of Serbians. Because many of them haven't adopted newer forms of media through the internet, most of them rely on the TV for news. Since Vucic has a lot of power in this regard (E.G being great buddies with the CEO of PINK), the older generations almost entirely and wholeheartedly support him. This is incredibly apparent when you go to these protests, as you'll always find elderly people shouting at the crowds during their moment of silence. Furthermore, a lot of the violence also comes from this older generation. The man who drove the car into the woman was 80-90 years old (from what I remember reading) and the man who pulled a knife on a protester was around 70.
@@DarkAngel-yz9zi Switzerland as well, they are not as innocent as they pretend.. How much they hid for n*zis and collaborated with them is just the tip of the iceberg among many other things. What Swiss are good at is pretending at being “neutral”.
And unlike a lot of European farmers, who are generally just landowners with people they employ actually doing the farming, the ones over here usually do work the fields. It isn't a rich dipshit throwing a temper tantrum over a lack of subsidies for his farm, it's a bunch of hard working people possibly losing their livelyhoods.
@@DelijeSerbia and who is gonna suffer because of that? Why would Vucic care about schools not working?

Fuck up our economy" lmao whose idea was this?
One more thing - Tony Blair, who, as a prime minister of UK took part in NATO bombing, inlcuding the bombing of state televison while Vučić was minister of media, was later Vučić's personal advisor. We in Serbia need to clean this shit up once and for all.
You don't even know what this is about! For the love of god, do some research. I am trying to be reasonable, I don't want the world to look at Serbia like they are looking at fu@king Syria. Educate yourself on the topic.
The topics you mentioned are just the tip of the SNS crime iceberg. There's a full list that's being sadly added on every single day. We're fighting in the streets and we need people to start paying more attention soon, bringing food to the universities is nice but when push comes to shove, we'll need a lot of people in the streets.
Vucic is supported by the West, so it can be really hard to remove him from power. They let him do whatever he want inside Serbia, as long as he deliver them what was promised.
They chose a guy who is very much against Kosovo separation (Which the West supports) as the puppet of choice? Seems like making their own objectives harder by choosing him.
@JM5C Thats not really how it works. Western leaders or better to say oligarchy doesnt care about democracy, freedom or any other bullshit they sell to their voters. And they especially dont care about it in other countries. For them Serbia is just a colony with a dictator they puppeted. It has recourses that EU needs, especially Lithium and as long as Vucic gives them Lithium they are happy to keep him in power.
There is also another really big difference between ousting Milosevic and Vucic. Vucic has EU support. They like him because he will deliver to them both the lithium mines and Kosovo. Milosevic had lost all his outside support by the time it all collapses. This is not the current case.
If the opposition can ensure that they won't alter the lithium deal and be cordial toward Kosovo then Vucic is done, he is too unpopular and the EU wouldn't care at all
@ People in the west doesn't know what true RIGHT WINGER is. Vučić is wolf in sheep's clothing if you really want to know what he really like, you just need to watch videos form 90' up until early 2000.

A bit more nuance and it would be great. The protests are not about ousting Vučić. That's his narrative. The students have very clear demands that include 'institutions should do their job'. Speaking of students, there were far more attacks on them than just that one incident that, absolutely and directly , was incentivised by previous Vučić's statement. And as other other parts of societies are getting involved, more repression is on the streets. You also missed a very easy and important thing to do - use symbols. The students are using a bloody hand as one of their messages - recent reply from the goverment to that truly says exactly how the regime looks at the plebs.
This is a very badly researched video. There was no surge of corruption and crime after the fall of Slobodan Milosevic, in fact there was a decrease. That wasn't at all what brought Vucic to power, nor was there a landslide victory for him as you say here. In fact, there wasn't that big of dissatisfaction with the governments before his coming to power, there were just his diehard supporters marching through the streets, chanting slogans and stuff, the same stuff was happening ever since the radical party fell to the opposition. In 2008, when the SNS was created, it intensified a bit but didn't achieve anything in 2008 and stayed the same through 2012. People were dissatisfied with the previous governments due to the perception that they destroyed the industry through corruptive privatization, instead of it being destroyed due to a decade of sanctions, wars and the loss of Yugoslav markets when Yugoslavia fell apart. But Milosevic was propping up these companies for a decade, the workers were receiving their salaries, and the companies were working on paper, even though their product was worthless, so the subsequent governments had the unsavory task of liquidating failed companies, privatizing others to get money, and it all resulted in a lot of layoffs. Radicals, at that point led mostly by Nikolic and Vucic, were using this to create a perception that the previous governments were at guilt for that. They were actively lying about any deal made by the previous governments, overblowing the costs, like a certain bridge that was proved to have costed 300 million euros still being claimed by Vucic and his party as costing 1.3 billion. Then there was a perception that the previous governments lost Kosovo, which was another spin, where they got another unsavory task of fixing shit produced by Milosevic and the Radicals during the nineties. And the fourth important thing was the previous governments falling out with the west, mostly with Angela Merkel, over the issue of Kosovo, aka over not settling the issue. She clearly supported SNS at that point, and there was perception among the population that the SNS has support from the EU. The previous ruling party, DS, didn't have many achievements to brag about, and their offer during the 2012 election was that everything would go to hell if SNS got in power. Election wasn't at all a landslide. It was practically the same as always, with DS getting a little bit better result in parliamentary election. Vucic was completely wiped out in his own race for the mayor of Belgrade, by the acting DS mayor and was literally crying on the TV and threatening the people with his resignation from politics altogether. DS presidential candidate won the first round of election for the first time, since the first round was usually won by the Radicals or SNS after that but unexpectedly lost in the second round in a tight race, so SNS leader Nikolic became president. This was the point when Vucic got a breakthrough. Nikolic, as the president, did everything he could to hammer a deal that would put SNS into government, and it meant promising the parties that were minor partners in the previous DS lead government to become major parties in the new government and SNS becoming the minor partner, even though they would hold the biggest share of MPs in that government. And it worked, and since the Prime minister position was filled by other parties, Nikolic managed to get a government position created personally for Vucic, the previously nonexistent First deputy prime minister. From this position, Vucic, now returned from his break with politics that lasted for about a month, started his signature campaign of supposed fight against corruption and crime that mostly meant a PR stunt for convincing people that there was a rampant corruption and crime in the first place. And it worked, people fell for it hook line and sinker, then he managed to force a government reconstruction that placed him as the Prime minister and pushed minor parties to lesser positions or absorbed them, while also sidelining Nikolic and forcing him out of politics. Other than that, the constant theme of his rule was demonizing politics and politicians as a profession, both opposition and his own SNS and portraying himself as above politics. That created adoration for him and him only with his supporters and disgruntlement with politics altogether with people not supporting him. The opposition in Serbia is perceived as elitist and out of touch because Vucic invested hard into creating that perception, that all politicians are elitists and out of touch, both the opposition and his own party members. This led to an absurd situation where Vucic's supporters ascribe everything good to him alone, but for everything bad they blame people around Vucic. There's a common saying among his supporters that goes like this: Vucic is so good, but poor guy simply can't get on top of all the bad people around him in SNS.

He wont go down i think, because US and Europe are behind him, he will do everything for them ,mine lithium, accept Kosovo as a state, all the while he says opposition leaders want to gain power so they can give Kosovo independence 😂😂😂 this guy singlehandedly did more for Kosovo independence than all other leaders together
The biggest reason he's still in power is that there isn't competent opposition. Anytime I hear from them, it's just calling out what Vucic does and barely suggesting an alternative, involving themselves in protests they never organized, and promising unicorns and rainbows that anyone over 18 finds unrealistic. Gen X claims that the opposition in the 90s were much more competent which lead to their victory in 2000.
There is a lot more about this situation. He even said that if u go with car thru students that are blocking the road in protest for 15 minutes, u are good and its their fault that they were on road. He is sending his people to atack students and profesors and citizens that are blocking street for 15 minutes to stand in silence. U could put picture from Slavia, u could say that when whole world was celebrating new year, they were standing in quiet with lights on bcs he called em dark forces. So they brought the light and went full silence at 11:52 pm to 00:07 am at new year evening. I realy respect this young generation now, at least in Serbia. xD
that quiet, yet powerful response to being called "dark forces" (tf is this, star wars?) is genuinely awe-inspiring with this and the farmers helping students, i have to say the serbs have proven to be so supportive of one another that even if things seem bleak, the future of your country is truly bright
@@hamham_6411 We making meems about that too. xD Dark forces lol. He said it on Serbian so dark force is literal translation. But still funny way to call it. Dictator things xD
For everything said fine but such nonsense sentence as "for criticizing NATOs bombing campaign and international sanctions threats by harassment of journalists", I mean during 1999 I do not remember any single Serbian Journalist even those who were pro hardcore Western orientated that were supportive of the NATO bombings, what is even worse all of those pro-NATO journalists back then turned their tide criticizing NATO after they made a war crime by hitting the Serbian National TV station full of journalists and workers and made a series of civilian target bombings so I really not know why such dramatic sentence is needed without doing a fact checking before this one? Related to Vučić hope that students will persist and stay united, whole Serbia is behind them now with exception of the minority that support this failed system.. Just because we are anti corruption does not mean that we are pro-NATO or pro-West, corrupted EU showed its face multiple times and I am all in for an open referendum on this topic after this joke of government goes down.
6:41 if you dont know why big sandwich is there, explanation is basically that he pays people in sandwiches too go and support him, he puts them in a busses all around Serbia give them sandwiches and gets them where his meeting is so it seems that he has bigger support also he pays elderly people to come by same principal. Also he pays some people around 30euros to write comments or do criminal stuff like running over students by cars.. Basically Sandwich or sandwichers(people that sell themselves) is other name for bots what work for SNS..
One good thing Vucic did was secretly do everything for rks except officially recognize it. All the incidents he stirs up are a cover up for him basically defacto giving Kosovo more independence than it ever had.
I wouldn't be so dismissive. While I'm not a conspiracy theorist, nor do I support vucic, it has happened before in other countries. It was also pretty much an unspoken fact during the Milosevic student protests which lead to his ousting. While I personally don't think it is the case, I haven't completely ruled it out. Just my thoughts though-
I hate Vucic with all my guts but still voted for him because the opposition is even worse. There are a lot of scavengers there trying to use the protests for a colored revolution, foreign influence is definetly there. Thankfully EU flags were banned at the protests and Marinika Tepic and Djilas were kicked out. We have to be really careful if we want to topple him
People need to learn flawed democracies only improve when accountability starts being imposed on the ruling class. Luigi needs to visit every single one of them in the middle of the night.
If you want a government job in Serbia, you must vote for the ruling party. If you want better prices on seeds, fertilizer etc, you must vote for the ruling party. They can also call you to a meeting where you cheer the president or do an anti-protest against the opposition.
@@alemalder9176I think he is talking about Seselj’s SRS (Serbian radical party) not SNS. Vučić was originally a member of Seselj’s ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party
Either you trust the court or not. If yes, then he is NOT a war criminal, he never was convicted for anything that is a war crime. On the other hand if you don't trust it, ask also why Gotovina and Markac were firstly sentenced to more than 50 years combined and the freed as if there was no evidence. My opinion, the Hague court was a shit show.
Great video. As a citizen of Serbia, I'm ashamed that this man is the president of my country. Here are some facts about protests not mentiond: the symbol of protesters is "Bloody hand", symbolising blood on the hands of the corupt officials that caused the death of 15 people (many of them children) that were killed on the train station in Novi Sad. Now, sympathizers of SNS and Vučić have made a counter symbol, which is that same bloody hand, but "giving a finger" to all that "Stand against president and people of Serbia". If we lived in a more democratic and normal country, half of the ministers and government officials would step down and, our rulling party, SNS, whoud be recognized as criminal organization, because all of money that it's members illegally earned. There were more affairs dating back to early days of this system, but I already wrote more that anybody would want to read...
Thank you @TLDR News. You should probably create a branch of your outlet fir Balkans specifically. There are voices there that want to be heard but are too afraid due to the authocratic regimes in place. Please be their voice!
Vucic is not just an ordinary president. He has some quite good manipulatory tactics which will make people believe everything is under control when actually is has never been worse.
The farmers protecting the students is actually very sweet
you know it's bad when...
When you lose both the urban and rural population... You know it's all over, just put the resignation letter in the bag lil bro 😂
Aside from the tragedy, it really wholesome to see people coming together
They are also organising mass food cooking for students
Just you wait guys, after Vucic there would guy that is 10 times worse and would most likely worsen the situation in Balkans
Why is the media so quiet about this? This and Georgia. Are we blind?
EU likes Vucic because he literally gave them everything they asked for. Thats why EU always pretended that election theft never happened.
depending on where you live, the west for example, the media won't give a fuck, unless it starts affecting neighboring countries
Well the last protests were about Vucic wanting to let Rio Tinto build a Lithium mine in a place that would make it an ecological disaster.. So.. you know.. draw your conclusions.

Because he sold Litium rights to destroy half the country to Germany, so they dont want to spread this, because if leadership changes they lose the lithium and Serbia gets to keep its land
Renovation price for the train station at the end was 64.000.000e. Enough to build at least 4 new stations from ground up.

Just to be aware that this students protests does not address Vučić at all. Requests are that institutions do their jobs. According to the Constitution of Serbia, presedent of Serbia does not has authority at this matter at all. Shoud institutions start to do their jobs, they will aslo need to check Vučić actions also, because he does not follow the law.
Finally a proper comment. Many things can be true at the same time: that there is corruption and push for vote and that majority supports this guy. I dislike that TLDR does not elaborate more on economy improvement in Serbia which is typically a bottom line for regular folks. And honestly, yes protests are paid by west. the cheap retoric, the uneducated bully approach, the corruption of ruling elite all speak against the fact that Serbia is chuck full of smart, hard working, motivated people. The dichotomy between country leadership and its base is killing me. But people that live in Serbia need to decide.

Vučić knows this, because he himself is paid by foreign powers.
They do it because it works. People fall for it every time.
There are foreign payed players in Serbia's opposition, but they are getting kicked out of protests. They are voltures looking to use the protests for their gain, so we must be careful if we want to topple Vucic. He is a very smart politician and master of manipulation

One of the hosts of TLDR News is literally Serbian. Nadja Lovadinov
Just a couple of things to put in perspective:
1. The only real organic support Vučić has is from older, communist boomers who see him almost as new Tito. SNS as a party has much lower support than him and his own personality cult is keeping it afloat.
2. These protests are not against Vučić, they are for very clear and detailed demands started by students, directed at institutions to do their jobs and punish those responsible for the deaths of 15 people. One of the key demands is transparency in regards to the contract and due process, to see who was responsible for it and needs to be punished in accordance with the law
3. Vučić is desperately trying to make these protests about him to sort of defend the corruption with his own personality cult but protesters are fundamentally ignoring him. A president under Serbia's constitution is a ceremonial figure with little to no executive power, him stepping out of line is unconstitutional in itself. So, protesters are ignoring him as it's not his jurisdiction anyway .
4. Protesters have stressed out they don't have formal leaders and don't want anything to do with the opposition as the issue of rule of law is not and must not be party - specific. Rule of law needs to be above any political party and they are not protesting to replace Vučić or his party anyway, they are protesting for the institutions to do their jobs.
5. It's very clear that the issue strikes deep into the hearth of governing party (maybe even Vučić himself) so they are not willing to meet demands in any case, with Vučić's own popularity and the popularity of his party in free fall. He might not even be able to meet demands or his entire regime will unravel so it's possible that the government itself collapses even with the bad and disorganized opposition
6. And finally, these started as protests in November but only escalated ever since, first by students, professors and deans shutting down universities, then the same happened in high schools, and even elementary/middle schools, then lawyers joined the strikes as well as some workers from the biggest (state owned) power company. The issue keeps escalating as more and more people join in with strikes and boycotts. Tomorrow (Jan 24.), there is a 1 day general strike planned that many private businesses (raging from bakeries to nightclubs) and workers joined together with massive boycotts, protests, blockades etc.
It will be interesting to see where this leads but neither side is obviously willing to step down as the protests escalate and people demand legal prosecution of everyone responsible for the tragedy

Power hungry politicians never learn the lesson that all power is temporary and, in the end, you still die. So being self-serving is pretty self-defeating as well.
Vladimir Putin needs to realize this.
Educate yourself, please. The protestors were interviewed and still had no idea why they were there. Is it ok to smash up government buildings for no reason? Is it good to pull a shield out of a policeman's hand and tell the media the cop assaulted you when, in reality, the poor man didn't want to let go of his riot shield? Is it ok for the organizers of the protest to not know the names of the victims who died due to the structure being OLD and being built in the communist era times of Yugoslavia? Is it ok for protestors to fly drones in a restricted area? They block roads on New Year's Eve, and for Christmas, they protest even if they don't know what for and the leaders of the protest are beating each other up and arguing. When you look at the situation from a wider perspective, you will start to realize how shit the entire situation is.

The lack of a suitable opposition is a big issue at the current moment. While Vucic's corruption and control over media is a massive issue, most people see the opposition parties as "Fifth columnists" who will do more harm to the country than good.
The problem with Vucic is that he's a very smart and competent man, which is far more dangerous than anything else. He knows how to play the international and, more importantly, the media game. So much so that he is the country's undisputed central figure. One way in which this is clear is in the older generation of Serbians. Because many of them haven't adopted newer forms of media through the internet, most of them rely on the TV for news. Since Vucic has a lot of power in this regard (E.G being great buddies with the CEO of PINK), the older generations almost entirely and wholeheartedly support him. This is incredibly apparent when you go to these protests, as you'll always find elderly people shouting at the crowds during their moment of silence. Furthermore, a lot of the violence also comes from this older generation. The man who drove the car into the woman was 80-90 years old (from what I remember reading) and the man who pulled a knife on a protester was around 70.

This!
Milosevic was ousted because the protesters and the opposition back then had the backing of western powers.
No, he is not. othervise Serbia would be already in EU.

@JM5C Thats not really how it works.
Western leaders or better to say oligarchy doesnt care about democracy, freedom or any other bullshit they sell to their voters. And they especially dont care about it in other countries.
For them Serbia is just a colony with a dictator they puppeted. It has recourses that EU needs, especially Lithium and as long as Vucic gives them Lithium they are happy to keep him in power.
There is also another really big difference between ousting Milosevic and Vucic.
Vucic has EU support. They like him because he will deliver to them both the lithium mines and Kosovo. Milosevic had lost all his outside support by the time it all collapses. This is not the current case.
true
Which was not even mentioned in the video, let alone emphasized as it should have been.
If the opposition can ensure that they won't alter the lithium deal and be cordial toward Kosovo then Vucic is done, he is too unpopular and the EU wouldn't care at all

A bit more nuance and it would be great.
The protests are not about ousting Vučić. That's his narrative. The students have very clear demands that include 'institutions should do their job'.
Speaking of students, there were far more attacks on them than just that one incident that, absolutely and directly , was incentivised by previous Vučić's statement. And as other other parts of societies are getting involved, more repression is on the streets.
You also missed a very easy and important thing to do - use symbols. The students are using a bloody hand as one of their messages - recent reply from the goverment to that truly says exactly how the regime looks at the plebs.

This is a very badly researched video. There was no surge of corruption and crime after the fall of Slobodan Milosevic, in fact there was a decrease. That wasn't at all what brought Vucic to power, nor was there a landslide victory for him as you say here. In fact, there wasn't that big of dissatisfaction with the governments before his coming to power, there were just his diehard supporters marching through the streets, chanting slogans and stuff, the same stuff was happening ever since the radical party fell to the opposition. In 2008, when the SNS was created, it intensified a bit but didn't achieve anything in 2008 and stayed the same through 2012. People were dissatisfied with the previous governments due to the perception that they destroyed the industry through corruptive privatization, instead of it being destroyed due to a decade of sanctions, wars and the loss of Yugoslav markets when Yugoslavia fell apart. But Milosevic was propping up these companies for a decade, the workers were receiving their salaries, and the companies were working on paper, even though their product was worthless, so the subsequent governments had the unsavory task of liquidating failed companies, privatizing others to get money, and it all resulted in a lot of layoffs. Radicals, at that point led mostly by Nikolic and Vucic, were using this to create a perception that the previous governments were at guilt for that. They were actively lying about any deal made by the previous governments, overblowing the costs, like a certain bridge that was proved to have costed 300 million euros still being claimed by Vucic and his party as costing 1.3 billion. Then there was a perception that the previous governments lost Kosovo, which was another spin, where they got another unsavory task of fixing shit produced by Milosevic and the Radicals during the nineties. And the fourth important thing was the previous governments falling out with the west, mostly with Angela Merkel, over the issue of Kosovo, aka over not settling the issue. She clearly supported SNS at that point, and there was perception among the population that the SNS has support from the EU. The previous ruling party, DS, didn't have many achievements to brag about, and their offer during the 2012 election was that everything would go to hell if SNS got in power. Election wasn't at all a landslide. It was practically the same as always, with DS getting a little bit better result in parliamentary election. Vucic was completely wiped out in his own race for the mayor of Belgrade, by the acting DS mayor and was literally crying on the TV and threatening the people with his resignation from politics altogether. DS presidential candidate won the first round of election for the first time, since the first round was usually won by the Radicals or SNS after that but unexpectedly lost in the second round in a tight race, so SNS leader Nikolic became president. This was the point when Vucic got a breakthrough. Nikolic, as the president, did everything he could to hammer a deal that would put SNS into government, and it meant promising the parties that were minor partners in the previous DS lead government to become major parties in the new government and SNS becoming the minor partner, even though they would hold the biggest share of MPs in that government. And it worked, and since the Prime minister position was filled by other parties, Nikolic managed to get a government position created personally for Vucic, the previously nonexistent First deputy prime minister. From this position, Vucic, now returned from his break with politics that lasted for about a month, started his signature campaign of supposed fight against corruption and crime that mostly meant a PR stunt for convincing people that there was a rampant corruption and crime in the first place. And it worked, people fell for it hook line and sinker, then he managed to force a government reconstruction that placed him as the Prime minister and pushed minor parties to lesser positions or absorbed them, while also sidelining Nikolic and forcing him out of politics. Other than that, the constant theme of his rule was demonizing politics and politicians as a profession, both opposition and his own SNS and portraying himself as above politics. That created adoration for him and him only with his supporters and disgruntlement with politics altogether with people not supporting him. The opposition in Serbia is perceived as elitist and out of touch because Vucic invested hard into creating that perception, that all politicians are elitists and out of touch, both the opposition and his own party members. This led to an absurd situation where Vucic's supporters ascribe everything good to him alone, but for everything bad they blame people around Vucic. There's a common saying among his supporters that goes like this: Vucic is so good, but poor guy simply can't get on top of all the bad people around him in SNS.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha

The biggest reason he's still in power is that there isn't competent opposition. Anytime I hear from them, it's just calling out what Vucic does and barely suggesting an alternative, involving themselves in protests they never organized, and promising unicorns and rainbows that anyone over 18 finds unrealistic. Gen X claims that the opposition in the 90s were much more competent which lead to their victory in 2000.

For everything said fine but such nonsense sentence as "for criticizing NATOs bombing campaign and international sanctions threats by harassment of journalists", I mean during 1999 I do not remember any single Serbian Journalist even those who were pro hardcore Western orientated that were supportive of the NATO bombings, what is even worse all of those pro-NATO journalists back then turned their tide criticizing NATO after they made a war crime by hitting the Serbian National TV station full of journalists and workers and made a series of civilian target bombings so I really not know why such dramatic sentence is needed without doing a fact checking before this one? Related to Vučić hope that students will persist and stay united, whole Serbia is behind them now with exception of the minority that support this failed system..

I wouldn't be so dismissive. While I'm not a conspiracy theorist, nor do I support vucic, it has happened before in other countries. It was also pretty much an unspoken fact during the Milosevic student protests which lead to his ousting.
While I personally don't think it is the case, I haven't completely ruled it out. Just my thoughts though-
Yes please I would like money to protest. Where do I go for my money?
I hate Vucic with all my guts but still voted for him because the opposition is even worse. There are a lot of scavengers there trying to use the protests for a colored revolution, foreign influence is definetly there. Thankfully EU flags were banned at the protests and Marinika Tepic and Djilas were kicked out. We have to be really careful if we want to topple him
Well, look at what is happening in Georgia and what happened in Ukraine, he's not very far off...
Everything I don't like is a CIA psyop
Finally someone's talking about it..
People need to learn flawed democracies only improve when accountability starts being imposed on the ruling class. Luigi needs to visit every single one of them in the middle of the night.
thank you for reporting on this
The end is near… and thank you for this clip :)
If you want a government job in Serbia, you must vote for the ruling party. If you want better prices on seeds, fertilizer etc, you must vote for the ruling party.
They can also call you to a meeting where you cheer the president or do an anti-protest against the opposition.
You forgot to mention that his co-founder of SNS was a war criminal Seselj
Seselj has never been in SNS.
The hague is a kangaroo court
@@alemalder9176I think he is talking about Seselj’s SRS (Serbian radical party) not SNS. Vučić was originally a member of Seselj’s ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party
Either you trust the court or not.
If yes, then he is NOT a war criminal, he never was convicted for anything that is a war crime.
On the other hand if you don't trust it, ask also why Gotovina and Markac were firstly sentenced to more than 50 years combined and the freed as if there was no evidence.
My opinion, the Hague court was a shit show.
Šešelj was NOT a founder of the SNS, coming from a native Serb
I'd say middle of the end by now, but yeah.
We here can only hope he gets deposed, and replaced with someone who won't sell our country
Готов је!
People are being paid to protest? Where do I sign up?
If you would consult the graph...
The SNS has fallen...
Great video. As a citizen of Serbia, I'm ashamed that this man is the president of my country. Here are some facts about protests not mentiond: the symbol of protesters is "Bloody hand", symbolising blood on the hands of the corupt officials that caused the death of 15 people (many of them children) that were killed on the train station in Novi Sad. Now, sympathizers of SNS and Vučić have made a counter symbol, which is that same bloody hand, but "giving a finger" to all that "Stand against president and people of Serbia". If we lived in a more democratic and normal country, half of the ministers and government officials would step down and, our rulling party, SNS, whoud be recognized as criminal organization, because all of money that it's members illegally earned. There were more affairs dating back to early days of this system, but I already wrote more that anybody would want to read...
Still not the mass.
Ako Bog da
Serbia has one of the oldest populations in Europe. Old people are like 80 % of electorate so what young people think doesn't matter really.
When you grow old, you too will be blamed for whatever ill faces us.
We're gonna keep this going until Serbia is a country we can be proud of!
He is the worst thing that happened to my country. Period
There is just one problem in Serbia. No dictator in history has ever left power peacefully.
I hope so.
Thank you @TLDR News. You should probably create a branch of your outlet fir Balkans specifically. There are voices there that want to be heard but are too afraid due to the authocratic regimes in place. Please be their voice!
It is sad to see how many people in Serbia are manipulated and lied to by Serbian television.
Vucic is not just an ordinary president. He has some quite good manipulatory tactics which will make people believe everything is under control when actually is has never been worse.
Trouble in the Balkans ... this could get very complicated.
Thank you from Serbia!!!🇷🇸
That nerd Vucic must be step down!
7:00 that’s awesome. Love to see that! Wish we had that kind of solidarity here in America
Thanks God you talk about it! He and members of his party are monsters!
Thank you sm for talking about this💕🙏
