Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS)

October 5 – (un)forgotten

Almost two decades seem to have eaten all the ties that the October 5th spirit has barely held on to, in recent years. The day before this year's October 5th, there were no announcements, no reminders, not even statements by the former main actors of Milosevic's downfall.

"Dirty laundry should be kept away from the foreign statesmen"

Moreover, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic showed no dignity either, in front of the foreign statesman.
"Basic good manners dictates that dirty laundry, if there is any, should be kept inside the house. We have to stop with this provincial and humiliating habit of complaining to foreigners on each other", Jovanovic told daily Blic.

Russia's support for Vucic has strings attached - journalist

This is according to Gennady Sisoyev, a correspondent for Russian daily Kommersant, who spoke for Beta agency.

Sisoyev said that one of Lavrov's key messages was that Serbia is not threatened by "Ukrainization" - that is, destabilization and civil unrest as a result of being forced to choose between Russia and the EU - "as long as current political forces are in power."
