The main word at today's "All-Serbian Assembly" was - unity, assembly of the Serbian people. If so, why weren't Serbs from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), or from Slovenia or liberal-minded Serbs from Serbia invited to that assembly. Because it is actually a parliament of Vučić's SNS (Serbian Progressive Party) and Dodik's SNSD (Union of Independent Social Democrats), political analyst Boško Jakšić told N1.
The platform called "Declaration on the Protection of National and Political Rights and the Common Future of the Serbian People" is a national-conservative document, Jakšić believes and says that in that document, which has 49 points, there are a number of general points about politics, the sociological and cultural position of the Serbian people, and the most important message is that "times are difficult and the Serbian people should be proud to have such leaders".
DON'T MISS IT
"And not only the Declaration, but also what we heard from the main actors today is that times are difficult and that the Serbian people should take heart and understand what kind of times they are and be happy and proud that they have such spiritual and secular leaders who are ready to fight bravely so that no one dishonors the Serbs and abolishes the RS," said Jakšić.
He also pointed out that today's "Parliament" was an opportunity for Aleksandar Vučić and Milorad Dodik to "raise their ratings by presenting themselves as great protectors of Serbs".
"They said today that the two of them are actually the ones that everyone should admire. It's obvious that both of them are under a lot of pressure. Those pressures may not have affected their ratings before the election, but this is a way to fight against those pressures. The main word at the parliament was unity, the assembly of the Serbian people. If so, why weren't Serbs from BiH, or from Slovenia, or liberal-minded Serbs from Serbia invited to that parliament? of the SNSD," Jakšić said.
It is also evident that the date of holding the Parliament was moved due to the passing of the Resolution on Srebrenica in the UN, believes Jakšić and adds that this topic is not accidentally exploited.
"The parliament was moved to be held after the adoption of the Resolution, even though it was announced for earlier, and item 16 in the Declaration says that the signatories do not recognize the Resolution on Srebrenica, but the question remains why there is still a debate about it. Are the Serbs a genocidal people and whether the RS was abolished, that is not clear to everyone. But that topic was exploited in the election campaign, and now to divert the focus from Kosovo to the Republic of Srpska was necessary in order to divert attention from the fact that the problem of Kosovo is being solved, but not in the way that Vučić wants and of course that it is not seen publicly. The whole manifestation is somehow politically problematic, no matter how epic it sounds," said Jakšić.
He also said that it is highly debatable that the text of the Declaration "insists on an even greater role of the SPC (Serbian Orthodox Church)".
"She, the SPC, is invited to an even greater cooperation, and that is actually Vučić's gratitude to Patriarch Porfiri for saying before the vote that passing a resolution on Srebrenica is immoral, and thus directly put the church in the function of daily politics," concluded Jakšić.
