ANOTOTHER CIRCLE OF SERBIA’S DECLINE
ANOTOTHER CIRCLE OF SERBIA’S DECLINE

Summary/Abstract: PROGRESSISTS: AVOIDING EUROPEAN COURSE The outcome of the May 2012 elections tec¬tonically changed Serbia’s political scene. The election victory of the Progressists and their coalition partners was a comeback of the po¬litical bloc of 1990s known for its nationalism, populism, destruction of institutions, political revanchism and radicalism. The “old regime” has been restored producing devastating effects on domestic, regional and international level. The Progressists and the newly formed govern¬ment do not know how to cope with burning economic and social issues. The public has ap¬plauded their anti-corruption campaign in the first months of their rule. However, it is more than obvious that they are both impotent and unwilling to fight corruption through institu¬tions and prosecution offices – they rather fight it in the media. The campaign itself that mostly targets the Democrats (who well deserved it, to tell the truth) is after annulling Serbia’s orien¬tation towards EU.
