The old die-hard fans of the "ninety-two" from the nineties probably expected that the B92 might one day be bought by a Greek, but that it would either be Plato or Socrates or Aristotle, not some cold-blooded businessman like Mr. Theodore Kyriacou. Unlike Socrates, Aristotle and Plato, who would probably be interested in developing democracy and freedom of speech in Serbia, Kiriakou seems to be as interested in democracy and freedom of speech as the olive trade in Zakynthos. Which is logical.
So everything reminiscent of B92 was removed from B92 - with the exception of the informational program and the website. So there's nothing left to take off, except some crazed starlet in "Big Brother".
- Kesić is not allowed! - half of Serbia dared to bet, until last week B92 announced that "24 minutes" will not air in December, because the season contract has expired, and in December no one watches television anyway, they just go around glories and pig slaughterhouses.
Even now, to all of us who are justifiably paranoid because of the experience gained with B92, it seems that Kesić will not be on the screen with that romantic logo in the corner - not even in January, February, March, April, May and June, when, of course, the summer programming scheme begins. Which includes going to the sea, from which many have not yet returned. I guess they liked the beach.
And so we arrived at the exact time called "five to 12" or five minutes to the 24th.
It seems to you then that the photo from the recent "Antena Grupa" cocktail party in the Parliament of Belgrade, where Prime Minister Vučić and Mr. Kirijaku are smiling sweetly, is not the result of the fact that they saw Kesić at the cocktail party. You know the one:
Kiriak: Alas, there is that Kesić! Bogota!
Vučić: What a king! Ha, ha, ha... I mourned this show on Saturday...
Kiriakus: He explained!
Vučić: Kesić, can I post a photo on Facebook?
Namely, there is a theory that in the two years since the beginning of the broadcasting of "24 Minutes", Kesić has taken photos with all the citizens of Serbia of legal age and minors, at least twice. The only ones who never stopped him on the street to take pictures were employees of the Government of Serbia, members of the Main Board of the Serbian Progressive Party and Mr. Kirijaku.
As soon as the owner of a television station prefers to take a picture with the prime minister at a cocktail party rather than with the main star of his media empire, something immediately becomes suspicious. In addition, if the owner of a media empire chooses to laugh at a cocktail party with a person who has done all sorts of things in his career, but has never been recorded as saying something witty, you can easily believe that they are not laughing because they saw Kesić, but because they didn't saw Kesić. Or at least they hope they won't see him anytime soon.
Njuzovci and Kesić are actually in an unenviable situation. The public expects them to make up for the shortcomings of the Serbian opposition, while the government, in the absence of an opposition, perceives everything that is not the front page of "Ima muda" as the opposition. Or the special show "Rušenje Vučić". That's how it is, if you dig out the closest media collaborators from the media container, then all the other contents look like "24 minutes with Dragutin Dimitrijević Apis".
"24 minutes with Zoran Kesić" is a kind of blesimeter of Vučić's Serbia. Now, the fact that a typical example of the flora and fauna of Vučić's Serbia likes to take a polygraph does not mean that he also likes regular Saturday tests on the blesimeter, where sometimes, in addition to appearing silly, you can very easily turn out to be stupid as well. And that's not convenient if you think you're a genius.
