Serbian lecturer: Leaders prioritize power over nation, envision Serbia without Kosovo but not without their rule

Nemanja Karović, a lecturer at the University of Teacher Education in Belgrade, has sharply criticized Serbia's current leadership, asserting that they prioritize maintaining their own power above all else. Karović stated that those in power can envision Serbia without its southern province of Kosovo and Metohija, but they cannot conceive of it without their own authority.

"We live in difficult times," Karović remarked at a student gathering in Kraljevo. "Those who rule over us can imagine Serbia without Kosovo and Metohija, and without drinkable water, justice, or humanity. They simply could not imagine Serbia without their own power, but such tyrannical ideas belong in prison, not in politics."

Karović further directed his criticism towards major construction projects, such as Belgrade Waterfront and Expo, suggesting they could be repurposed. "Looking at the millions of square meters of Belgrade Waterfront and Expo, built through plunder, a comforting thought arises in me. These squares could be used for imprisoning criminals. It would truly be nice to see the current rulers spend their lives in the dungeons they built themselves," he said.

The lecturer posed a direct question to the citizens, framing the upcoming decision as a clear choice between freedom and the ruling party's influence. "Our time is difficult, but our decision is easy. We face a simple choice – the question is whether we want freedom or the SNS cartel, truth or Informer [a pro-government tabloid], brotherhood among people or brotherhood among Vučićs… Will we stand up for Serbia or fall under the mafia? If the regime hasn't heard the news – students are winning. Long live Serbia!" Karović declared.

The gathering in Kraljevo, titled "Everything is Seen on Vidovdan," was organized by students who are currently engaged in a blockade. The event highlighted student protests and opposition sentiments against the current government.

Mi živimo u teškom vremenu. Oni koji nad nama vladaju mogu da zamislte Srbiju i bez KiM i bez pitke vode, pravde, ljudskosti. Jedino ne bi mogli da zamisle Srbiju bez svoje vlasti, ali takve tiranske ideje nisu za politiku nego da zatvor.
