Serbia needs high-quality political and development programmes, not unbridled trust in a specific person, to whom they attach all of their hopes, only for them to be subsequently betrayed
Im not certain that the Serbian opposition is unified as an organisational structure, that it shares a greater number of political principles and, as such, whether it can determine the directions of joint action and election participation. As a consequence of this, it cannot “spawn” a joint candidate either, one who would enter the ring against Vučić. To paraphrase Marx, he said that “something happens the first time as a tragedy, and the second time as a farce”.
Introducing development programmes, while strengthening and accepting true values, is a political task of the first order, while seeking messiahs, à la Koštunica, is a way of luring the gullible and idle!
The same applies to the myth of the “new Koštunica”, who solves everything in time added on for stoppages and leads us, this time, out of “Vučić’s nuthouse”. That won’t amount to anything. Serbia needs high-quality political and development programmes, not unbridled trust in a specific person, to whom they attach all of their hopes, only for them to be subsequently betrayed as that person remains faithful to the Serbian comprehension of politics and values over the last thirty years – nationalism, Kosovo, identity issues, the “Serbian world”, squabbling with neighbours and flexing muscles, playing leader of the Balkans and the like. Introducing development programmes, while strengthening and accepting true values, is a political task of the first order, while seeking messiahs, à la Koštunica, is a way of luring the gullible and idle! It means more work with voters, less placing trust in good fortune and false alibis, with desirable candidates.
