Retired Professor: Serbia Lacks Democracy, Corruption is Rampant

Zoran Stojiljković, a retired professor from the Faculty of Political Science, has voiced strong criticism regarding the state of Serbian society, stating that patience has run out. He described a significant deficit in democracy and a deeply entrenched system of corruption.

"Our patience is at an end, not to feign neutrality," Stojiljković told N1. He elaborated on the pervasive corruption, noting that "corruptive schemes are so developed here that no one hides or defends it anymore when a high-ranking police officer mediates between criminals."

His remarks highlight a deep-seated dissatisfaction with the current political and social climate in Serbia, pointing to a breakdown in democratic principles and the open involvement of law enforcement in illicit activities. The professor's statement suggests a critical juncture where the lack of accountability and transparency has reached an unacceptable level.

Our patience is at an end, not to feign neutrality. This society suffers from a lack of any democracy, here corruptive schemes are so developed that no one hides or defends it anymore when a high-ranking police officer mediates between criminals.
