Amid the ongoing social crisis in Serbia, which has lasted for over ten months, the Vučić government has decided to hold the largest military parade in the country’s history. According to retired military officer Petar Bošković, who spoke with Mašina, despite the enormous amount of resources spent on this parade, it would be incorrect to assume that it will be the best ever.

Recent protests across Serbia have often been described in the media and on social networks as a “civil war.” But political scientists, security experts, and historians interviewed by Mašina explain why the current state in Serbia cannot be described as a civil war, as they address what we are actually witnessing, and what is lies beneath the escalated repression.| Mašina English
