Novi dan Examines Society, Young People and Education’s Approach to Mladić

Monday’s Novi dan will focus on how Serbian society and its institutions deal with Ratko Mladić and the legacy of the former Republika Srpska army general.

University professor Smiljana Milinkov will discuss with Danica Vučenić how Serbia’s education system treats the historical events in which Mladić was involved. Nataša Miljković will then speak with Marko Milosavljević of the Youth Initiative for Human Rights about how young people view that legacy.

Journalist and Danas editor Safeta Biševac will comment on interpretations of Mladić’s role in the wartime history of the former SFR Yugoslavia, as well as other topics from the day’s newspaper front pages.

The program will also report on the continuing crisis at Novi Sad’s Jovina Gymnasium, where classes may be organized online from the following day. A reporter from N1 will examine how that decision will actually be implemented. Deutsche Welle journalist Srećko Matić will analyze the election results in Saxony-Anhalt, where the popularity of the right-wing AfD is presented as a potential political earthquake in Germany. The program is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m.
