From breaking the law to human rights violations, from destruction in Savamala to the scandal of Jovanica. And while at least a part of the public almost refused to turn a blind eye, the attempts to do something dwindled \u2013 from the \u201c1 out of 5 million\u201d movement to the \u201cSerbia against violence\u201d protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this continuous state is not just a turn of unfortunate events, it is not faith or God\u2019s will, it did not occur all by itself. Quite the contrary \u2013 if you scratch under the surface, you can see that a lot of work was put into it. Some by degrading the institutions, some by media control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It turns out in the end that the current president of Serbia Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 is a real \u201cpolitical nerd.\u201d Unfortunately for Serbia and its citizens, he used his knowledge to establish an autocracy instead of a democracy. That being said, he always knew how to respond when civilian discontent came knocking on his door, always ready with a timely dose of poison in moments whenever his rule was threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every poison has its antidote though. For the citizens of Serbia, the antidote was its youth. With every move the government made, not only was it wrong \u2013 it sparked an even stronger backlash. Suddenly, the protests are much larger in size than ever before. Suddenly, the summer doesn\u2019t represent the \u201cend of the protest season.\u201d Suddenly, the protests are happening in places where they\u2019ve never happened before. Suddenly, snap elections are no longer \u201cin the bag\u201d for the regime. Suddenly, the regime is always three steps behind. Suddenly, no one is tired anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/1_bTgvdrz1A\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"U\u017ei\u010dani i ve\u010deras poku\u0161avaju da blokiraju magistralu\" title=\"Play video &quot;U\u017ei\u010dani i ve\u010deras poku\u0161avaju da blokiraju magistralu&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/1_bTgvdrz1A<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/1_bTgvdrz1A\" title=\"U\u017ei\u010dani i ve\u010deras poku\u0161avaju da blokiraju magistralu\">U\u017ei\u010dani i ve\u010deras poku\u0161avaju da blokiraju magistralu (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/1_bTgvdrz1A)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Youth and Madness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to the question \u201chow did this happen?\u201d is revealing itself \u2013 students, or better said, young people. The same ones that have been criticized for years for being too passive, for not participating in politics. Since November of last year, mainly thanks to them, everything has changed in Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conversation with Ma\u0161ina, psychologist Ana Mirkovi\u0107 explains that the current protests are, compared to some of the previous ones, very different in various ways. Above all, it\u2019s the fact that for the first time, it is the younger generation that is leading, inspiring and motivating them. As she says, it turns out this new generation is very determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis generation is probably the most empathetic, tolerant, flexible and intelligent that has ever lived on Earth. Their intelligence allows them to adapt to new conditions. We can see how, in the last seven or eight months, they have changed their protest tactics. From completely closing universities, marching all across Serbia, gathering in big cities, and blockading institutions. And now we see, after the St. Vitus day protest, another change of course with the street barricades. This all shows just how flexible the new generation is. And flexibility is one of the most important skills of the new age, that is, how one adapts to new circumstances\u201d, says Mirkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, she adds that all the above-mentioned changes in the course of the protest also inspire other people, as they get to constantly take part in something new. It is exactly this that gives them the energy to continue, Ana claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverything that\u2019s new and comes to us as something new is actually the confirmation of our strength. For the first time, we can feel like we have a purpose in our society and for the first time we can feel that our actions really affect the regime. And so, freedom seems to be within reach. Before, these processes would shut down, but only in the moment when we would conclude that our actions are pointless. Now, we can see that each action we take gets a reaction from the system, and each reaction just gets worse. The worst one yet has been the repression we\u2019ve been enduring for the past couple of days\u201d, Mirkovi\u0107 tells Ma\u0161ina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/sCPdnxGn-Zs\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Ada mol, oko 9:00 \u010dasova jutros.\" title=\"Play video &quot;Ada mol, oko 9:00 \u010dasova jutros.&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/sCPdnxGn-Zs<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/sCPdnxGn-Zs\" title=\"Ada mol, oko 9:00 \u010dasova jutros.\">Ada mol, oko 9:00 \u010dasova jutros.

On the other hand, the people are getting more and more creative and determined. It seems the days of apathy are long gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In relation to that, Mirkovi\u0107 mentions that,in some weird way, the regime is provoking this huge energy in the people and rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen after a decade of repression the people free themselves of fear, then that freedom brings a giant dose of bravery and determination, and you can never return them to their previous state. The government\u2019s mechanisms no longer have any effect. And when there is no more fear, that is freedom by definition. It\u2019s that inner state of harmony in which you feel you can make decisions without coercion and without fear. We already won freedom, now we just have to verify it\u201d, concludes Mirkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>M.B., A.S.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cNo one is tired!\u201d can be heard, almost by default, at every protest, blockade or organized action of civil disobedience across Serbia.
