On the agenda – laws that allegedly strengthen the institutions of the Protector of Citizens and the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance. In the debate – proof of how the MPs and ministers of the Serbian Progressive Party actually perceive the independence of the institutions. It is good to have them, but only if they defend ‘us’, and not criticise the government like those who were in power before did.

“These independent institutions are nowhere to be found when they should be condemning the attacks on Aleksandar Vučić’s family members.  The Commissioner for Gender Equality is nowhere to be found either, nor the Protector of Citizens when the daily ‘Danas’ publishes on its front page allegations against Danilo Vučić. There are no SNS officials to condemn such attacks. They’d probably be harsher if someone hit a dog on the street.”

“So, I will talk about the endangered and neglected rights and freedoms of the President of the Republic, his son Danilo and his brother Andrej, but also of other members of the Vučić family. […] one important question arises – who protects the endangered rights and neglected rights and freedoms of the persons I have mentioned?”

“Today, Serbia is trapped, and it’s up to us, only on the SNS representatives in Serbia, to point out these two parallel processes. We must strengthen, build institutions, the independence of our institutions, which is the main task in this Parliament today and the topic on the agenda. At the same time, I, as a member of the Government, you, as SNS MPs, must not neglect, must not ignore the process that is taking place, and that is the process of dehumanisation of the Vučićs because one of them is Aleksandar Vučić, the President of Serbia.“

“The security of the Vučić family is seriously endangered and everyone is silent, journalists’ associations are silent. I don’t condemn journalists or media, but I will just say that they’re supporting such statements by their silence.“

“I really expect the Protector of Citizens to be the Protector of Citizens, but of each citizen, primarily the Protector of the one for whom the majority of Serbian citizens voted, and that is the President of Serbia. It is really inconceivable to me that the Protector of Citizens does not deal with the protection of the President and the threats that all of us MPs, mostly Bakarec and my fellow colleague Marijan Rističeveć receive every day via social networks from Đilas, Marinika Tepić, Jeremić and other members of their gang.“

“When the citizens of Serbia hear the words Protector of Citizens, it gives them some confidence. The citizens are Aleksandar Vučić and Danilo Vučić and Andrej Vučić, they are all citizens of Serbia. Do they have the same rights as other citizens? Does anyone guarantee them any rights?”

There was not much talk about other possible obligations of the Protector of Citizens in this debate, because to this ruling majority, this does not really matter.

Predsednik Narodne skupštine Ivica Dačić sazvao je 47. sastanak Kolegijuma Narodne skupštine Dvanaestog saziva za utorak, 2. novembar 2021. godine, sa početkom u 9 časova.

Na dnevnom redu - zakoni kojima se navodno jačaju institucije Zaštitnika građana i Poverenika za informacije od javnog značaja. U raspravi - dokaz kako poslanici i ministri Srpske napredne stranke zapravo doživljavaju nezavisnost institucija. Dobro je da ih imamo, ali ako brane naše, a ne da kritikuju vlast kao oni pre.

„Tih nezavisnih institucija nema nigde da osude napade na članove porodice Aleksandra Vučića. Nemate nigde Poverenicu za rodnu ravnopravnost, nemate nigde Zaštitnika građana kada se u dnevnom listu "Danas" objavi naslovna strana protiv Danila Vučića, a nemate ni neke funkcionere SNS da osude takve napade. Oni bi verovatno žešće osudili određene napade da kuče udare na ulici.”

„Govoriću, dakle, o ugroženim i zapostavljenim pravima i slobodama predsednika republike, njegovog sina Danila i njegovog brata Andreja, ali i ostalih članova porodice Vučić. Jednostavno, postavlja se jedno važno pitanje – ko štiti ugrožena prava i zapostavljena prava i slobode osoba koje sam naveo?”

„Srbija se danas nalazi u klopci, a na nama je izgleda, izgleda samo na naprednjacima u Srbiji, da ukazujemo na ta dva paralelna procesa. Mi moramo da jačamo, gradimo institucije, nezavisnost naših institucija, ono što danas jeste osnovni zadatak u ovom parlamentu i tema na dnevnom redu. Istovremeno, i ja kao članica Vlade, vi kao poslanici SNS, ne smemo da izostavimo, da zanemarimo proces koji se dešava, a to je proces dehumanizacije porodice Vučić samo zato što je jedna od njih Aleksandar Vučić predsednik Srbije.“

„Bezbednost porodice Vučić je ozbiljno ugrožena i svi ćute, ćute udruženja novinara, ne osuđujem ni novinare, ni medije, samim tim ćutanjem, ja mogu samo da kažem da takve izjave podržavaju.“

„Ja stvarno očekujem da od Zaštitnika prava građana bude zaštitnik građana, ali svakog građana, prvenstveno zaštitnik onoga za koga je većina građana Srbije glasala, a to je predsednik Srbije. Meni je stvarno nepojmljivo da se Zaštitnik građana ne bavi zaštitom predsednika i pretnji koji svi mi narodni poslanici, najviše Bakarec i kolega Marijan Rističeveć dobijamo svakodnevno putem društvenih mreža od Đilasa, Marinike Tepić, Jeremića i ostalih pripadnika njihove bande.“

„Građani Srbije kada čuju Zaštitnik građana, to njima uliva neko poverenje. Građanin je Aleksandar Vučić i Danilo Vučić i Andrej Vučić, sve su to građani Srbije. Da li oni imaju ista prava kao ostali građani? Da li njima neko garantuje neka prava?”

O ostalim eventualnim obavezama Zaštitnika građana u ovoj raspravi nije bilo mnogo reči, jer to za ovu vladajuću većinu u stvari nije ni bitno.

Predsednik Narodne skupštine Ivica Dačić sazvao je Šestu posebnu sednicu Narodne skupštine Republike Srbije u Dvanaestom sazivu, za utorak, 2. novembar, 2021. godine, sa početkom u 11 časova.

Predsednik Narodne skupštine Republike Srbije Ivica Dačić sazvao je Petu sednicu Drugog redovnog zasedanja Narodne skupštine Republike Srbije u 2021. godini, za sredu, 27. oktobar 2021. godine, sa početkom u 11.30 časova.

Predsednik Narodne skupštine Ivica Dačić sazvao je 46. sastanak Kolegijuma Narodne skupštine Dvanaestog saziva za utorak, 26. oktobar 2021. godine, sa početkom u 9 časova.

Whenever the Minister of the Interior, Aleksandar Vulin, comes to the Assembly, he fulfils the expectations of the MPs and they return the favour. A layer of the Serbian world, a layer of divisions on a national basis with the obligatory remark that this is not the intention, a layer of admiration for the President Aleksandar Vučić.

On such a day, when five international agreements were on the agenda, notions bearing the adjective Serbian were mentioned 158 times; and Vučić was praised 90 times.

“If you are referring to the Serbian world, I firmly believe that the creation of the Serbian world as a unique political nation is an essential need of Serbs and there is no threat in that.”

“Usually, those who have not finished ethnic cleansing have a problem with the Serbian world, so even those 4% of Serbs bother them. They usually have a problem with the Serbian world. The Serbian world is my idea, it is not the idea of the Government of the Republic of Serbia. The Parliament of the Republic of Serbia has never declared itself on it, it has never voted on anything like that.”

“You could have been more creative when giving a name. You copied that from Turkey. Turkey is the first country to officially choose the term Turkish world, and they even have a Ministry for the Turkish world. I don’t know why you are fascinated by Turkey.“

“You know what happened when President Vučić went to pay tribute in Srebrenica, and when Izetbegović came to Belgrade, he went for a walk down Knez Mihailova Street, no one said an ugly word to him.”

“Every day and with every move we make, we try to contribute to the international reputation of Serbia and the preservation of peace and stability in the region. This is probably why you have been a political partner of both Aleksandar Vučić and the SNS for years.“

“I cannot but congratulate the representatives of the Serbian List on a convincing victory in the October 17th elections in Kosovo and Metohija, and these elections have shown that Serbs are united when they are found in the most difficult situation, and that they believe in the policy of the Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.”

“On the one hand, you have thieves, fraudsters, layabouts with bank accounts in Mauritius and in another 56 countries, led by Dragan Đilas and Vuk Jeremić, on the other you have you have a majority Serbia, normal people, who live from their work and who are led by Aleksandar Vučić.”

At such sessions, the fact that the non-parliamentary opposition was mentioned in a negative tone only about 70 times can be presented as progress.

For the Open Parliament, Mirjana Nikolić

Kad god u skupštinu dođe ministar unutrašnjih poslova Aleksandar Vulin, on ispuni očekivanja poslanika, a i oni njegova. Red srpskog sveta, red podela po nacionalnoj osnovi uz obaveznu napomenu da to nije namera, red divljenja predsedniku Aleksandru Vučiću.

U takvom jednom danu kada je na dnevnom redu bilo pet međunarodnih sporazuma, u raspravi je bilo šta što nosi pridev srpsko, pomenuto 158 puta, a Vučić je pohvaljen 90 puta.

“Ako mislite na srpski svet, ja čvrsto verujem da je stvaranje srpskog sveta kao jedinstvenog političkog naroda nasušna potreba Srba i u tome nema pretnje.”

“Obično sa srpskim svetom imaju problem oni koji nisu završili etničko čišćenje, pa im i tih 4 odsto Srba smeta. Obično ti imaju problem sa srpskim svetom. Srpski svet je moja ideja, nije ideja Vlade Republike Srbije. Parlament Republike Srbije se nikad nije izjašnjavao o njemu, nikad nije glasao ni o čemu sličnom.”

“Mogli  ste biti kreativniji kada ste davali ime. To ste prepisali od Turske. Turska je prva koja je i zvanično odabrala pojam turski svet i imaju čak i Ministarstvo za turski svet. Ne znam što ste fascinirani Turskom. “

“Znate kada je bio predsednik Vučić da oda počast u Srebrenici, kako je prošao, a kada je došao Izetbegović u Beograd, šetao je Knez Mihajlovom, niko mu nije ružnu reč dobacio.”

“Svakog dana i svakim potezom pokušavamo doprineti međunarodnom ugledu Srbije i očuvanju mira i stabilnosti u regionu. Verovatno ste zato i vi već godinama politički partner i Aleksandra Vučića i SNS. “

“Ne mogu a da ne čestitam predstavnicima Srpske liste na ubedljivoj pobedi, na izborima 17. oktobra na Kosovu i Metohiji i ovi izbori su pokazali da su Srbi jedinstveni kada im je najteže, da veruju u politiku predsednika Srbije Aleksandra Vučića.”

“S jedne strane, imate lopove, prevarante, lezijedoviće sa računima na Mauriciju i još 56 zemalja, koje predvodi Dragan Đilas i Vuk Jeremić, a na drugoj strani imate većinsku Srbiju, normalnih ljudi, koji žive od svog rada i koje predvodi Aleksandar Vučić.”

Na ovakvim sednicama kao napredak se može izneti podatak da je  vanparlamentarna opozicija u negativnom tonu pomenuta tek oko 70 puta.

Predsednik Narodne skupštine Republike Srbije Ivica Dačić sazvao je Četvrtu sednicu Drugog redovnog zasedanja Narodne skupštine Republike Srbije u 2021. godini, za utorak, 26. oktobar 2021. godine, sa početkom u 10.00 časova.

In Kosovo, tear gas, shootings, injuries; in Raška, a meeting of Kosovo Serbs with the state leadership and a promise that Serbia will “be with its people”. One might have expected MPs to interrupt the debate on judges on such a day and demand an emergency session on Kosovo, but that did not happen.

Again, they did want to react, but by the end of the day they could not decide whether it was more important for them to defend Kosovo or to attack opposition leaders. The most creative was an MP who called attention to a violation of the Rules of Procedure because of Kosovo.

“Violation of the Rules of Procedure, dignity of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia. I do not think that you or the previous speaker did that, but what is happening today in the area of North Kosovska Mitrovica is certainly a violation of dignity and the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia.”

If you bought this, then you will buy everything!

“[…] I must call on the representatives of the international community, the European Union and KFOR to finally tame Albin Kurti’s insane policy in Kosovo and Metohija, and to stabilise a situation that is more than dramatic.”

“That should be put to an end, because it is pure discrimination on the basis of ethnicity and the grossest possible way of endangering the lives of Serbs living in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija. I must also look back to the period until 2012, when the ‘yellow tycoon enterprise’, led by Đilas, Jeremić, Tadić, carried out the most shameful judicial reform in the history of the judiciary.”

“Now those same hordes that ravaged the beleaguered citizens of Serbia attack like hyenas again through their tycoon media, through [voices of] Marinika from Moravić, as well as the liar Aleksić, a proven expert in devastation and robbery, Vuk Jeremić, a collector of precious drinks and money, wallowing in their hatred of President Aleksandar Vučić and his family, and have no mercy.” 

“Their goal is to attack the state and they are simply urging Kosovo’s recognition, Bosnia’s unitarism… If only someone let them change the government by force”.

“In relation to today’s events on the territory of our southern province of Kosovo and Metohija, I will only mention that Judge Majić has a certain responsibility, a moral one, if nothing else”.

When the culprits were identified and the matter was settled, the Assembly’s position on the Kosovo problem was reduced to a single sentence.

“First of all, I would like to give support to our President Aleksandar Vučić in calming down the situation in Kosovo as much as possible and seeing it in the way that only statesmen can see it and not making a move that could cost us enormously.”

Come hell or high water, the MPs will be informed about the moves of the statesman later.

For the Open Parliament, Mirjana Nikolić.
