President Xi Jinping’s recent visit to Serbia is a renewed promise of a building a significant chapter in the evolving narrative of China-Serbia relations, a partnership flourishing against a backdrop of global uncertainties and shifting geopolitical alignments. This visit, marking profound diplomatic engagements reinforced the traditional bonds between the two nations and paved the way for a future-oriented alliance aimed at mutual development and strategic cooperation. The visit was also coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, not only symbolizes the resilience and solidarity between the two nations but also highlights their mutual commitment to a strategic partnership poised for a future of shared prosperity. Both sides are eager to deepen ties in a world where alliances are not just about mutual benefits but also about forging lasting partnerships that stand resilient through the challenges of changing international dynamics.

Mass protests have begun in Belgrade. Opposition members and their supporters, who disagree with the results of the recent parliamentary elections, have taken to the streets, blocking roads and attacking government buildings. Law enforcement agencies are responding by trying to contain the unrest. The situation is heating up.
According to experts, an attempt is being made to stage a coup in Serbia on the model of Ukraine’s Maidan in 2014. Most experts believe that the actions of the Serbian opposition are coordinated by Brussels and Washington.
Is a political revolution possible in Serbia?

The recent Brazilian presidential elections drew worldwide attention. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was elected to a new term after years out of the political arena. Jair Bolsonaro lost by a small margin, showing he still has political strength and popularity, contradicting the data presented by main institutes, whose polls pointed to an „easy“ victory for Lula.

Dragana Trifkovic for Vzglyad.az
US President Donald Trump received the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo at the White House. What results did the parties achieve at the Washington meeting?
“Firstly, the agreement signed in Washington between Belgrade and Pristina does not correspond to the interests of the Republic of Serbia and its international position on any point. The biggest winner of the agreement reached is Israel, which, in my opinion, was a mediator in the harmonisation and agreement between the two sides and Washington. Serbian President Aleksandr Vucic, through the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, in March this year agreed on part of the commitments, including the opening of Serbia’s diplomatic and economic mission in Jerusalem, which is a violation of international law and UN Security Council Resolution 478.

Dragana Trifkovic for Polish media: The cause of the Serbian protests is much deeper than the coronavirus measures

In Serbia the situation is heated right now. A lot of protests, and the Serbian government reacted very violently against the protesters. What do you think about them?
Spontaneous protests in Serbia were provoked by President Aleksandar Vučić, who announced the reinstatement of lockdown for citizens of Belgrade in connection with the coronavirus epidemic.
It is about the fact that we in Serbia had for months the strictest lockdown measures in Europe and then the government abolished all measures in order to hold the elections, even though it was a health risk.

No one expected that the meeting between Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and separatist Kosovo leader Hashim Thaçi scheduled for June 27th in Washington would be canceled. Moreover, the significance of this meeting in official circles, both in Belgrade and in Pristina, was discussed with great optimism. Thus, on June 18th, Thaçi told the Pristina media that this is a historic meeting that will turn the course of the peaceful settlement of the Kosovo issue, and that the agreement to be signed will “once and for all close the century-old chapter of conflicts between Serbia and Kosovo”.

Ulrich Oehme from Bundestag for Center for geostrategyc studies
Interview conducted by Dragana Trifkovic
Mr. Oehme, you are a representative of the opposition party Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the Bundestag. This is a party that in recent years has received increasing support from voters in Germany who are dissatisfied with the policy of the authorities. What problems does German society face and what defines it so that it can trust the opposition? On the other hand, what is your main objection to the authorities as an opposition politician?
In Germany, we have been observing violations of the law by the respective federal government for years. These violations began with the bailout of Greece in 2010. The EU treaties of Lisbon stipulated that the community of states was not liable for the debts of member states. The emergency loans to Greece broke the Lisbon Treaties with the help of the German government. But that was not all. With the decision to open the borders for refugees in 2015, Chancellor Angela Merkel violated the current provisions of the Schengen Agreements. As a result of this decision, almost 2 million migrants flocked into our social system in search of one. For the most part there were no refugees like the media of the German population tried to persuade us. This influx was associated with a significant increase in crime. The mood among the population tilted between 2015 from large consent to the rejection of immigration. The AfD was the only party that, since its foundation in 2013, has constantly pointed out existing problems and misguided developments in German society. Since September 2017 I have been part of the AfD Parliamentary Group in the German Bundestag. Here we as opposition can force the governing parties to adopt our positions. We know that in the short term we will not gain majorities for our own legislative changes, but we can always put our fingers in the sore spots.
