Democracy in the world is not threatened, but those who should control social systems are in crisis, said the professor of Belgrade University Čedomir Čupić.
Alluding to the current situation in the European Union (EU), Čupić said that the financial crisis in Europe showed that every system must be constantly controlled.
"Every government, even a democratic one, must be constantly controlled. We have seen what kind of crisis happened when control in the field of finance loosened in Europe.
Democracy is not in crisis, but those who should control it", said Čupić at the promotion of Radovan Radonjić's book "Political Doctrines".
Čupić said that history has shown that good political ideas can be misused, citing as an example globalization that directly destroys the idea of freedom and unity.
"Some countries, in the name of globalization, are attacking somewhere they should never be," he explained.
Čupić said that the citizens of the former Yugoslavia experienced firsthand how wrong policies can make life miserable.
Recalling the "happening of the people" from the beginning of the 90s, Čupić reminded that the wrong policy can make life miserable and that plebiscite policy never brings good.
Recalling the "happenings of the people" from the beginning of the nineties, Čupić said that plebiscite policy never brings good.
"When I saw the masses who wanted to destroy the old system and create a new one, I knew that reason had gone into the deepest darkness. The years that followed confirmed that," said Čupić.
Radonjić's book is a comprehensive study of the state, politics, government and governance. The book was published by the Center for Civic Education, the Faculty of Political Sciences and the Center for the Development of Non-Governmental Organizations.
