ПОД ПРЕДЛОГОМ СВОБОДНОЙ ТОРГОВЛИ ЕВРОСОЮЗ УНИЧТОЖАЕТ СЕРБСКУЮ ЭКОНОМИКУ

Вопрос суверенитета многих европейских государств сегодня неразрывно связан с влиянием ведущих стран Запада на их политику. Такое мнение высказала 25 ноября эксперт Федерального информационно-политического журнала «Персона страны» Драгана Трифкович во время выступления на IV Международном муниципальном форуме стран БРИКС+ в Санкт-Петербурге.

«Я иллюстрирую это одним примером. В здании министерства обороны Республики Сербии, которое в 1999 году бомбил Североатлантический альянс, сегодня находится канцелярия НАТО. Именно в этом же здании. Я это считаю примером неполноценности суверенитета Сербии», — рассказала эксперт.

From the History of WWII: A Genocide in Nazi Croatia

By Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirovic

Preface

Due to the current conflict in (East) Ukraine (historically known as Russia Minor), the world is more and more becoming informed about the genocide of the Poles, Jews, and Russians on the territory of West Ukraine during WWII committed by Ukrainian Nazi-nationalists (the Banderists). However, at the same time, in the Balkans, parallelly with the Ukrainian case, the organized (sadistic) genocide of the Jews, Roma, and above all the ethnic Serbs were on agenda but the world audience is still not properly informed about the case – the case occurred in the Nazi-shaped Independent State of Croatia.

Incident in Poland that could have caused WW3 is making Ukraine lose credibility

By Dragana Trifković

In the past months, we could hear various forecasts and warnings regarding the current conflict between the West and Russia, which concern a high level of misunderstanding on many issues, but mostly on the issue of Ukraine. The Ukraine conflict itself is seen by the West and Russia from diametrically opposite positions. For the West, Russia is an aggressive party that attacked a sovereign state of Ukraine. On the other hand, for Russia, Ukraine is a country under control of the Western power centers, which is committing genocide against the Russian population. According to Russian officials, the reasons for launching a special military operation (as they call the intervention) are threats to the national security of the Russian Federation and the need to protect the Russian population, which has been under attack since 2014. So far, the collective West has not wanted to accept Moscow's arguments, which has led to today's situation of the highest level of political conflict between the West and Russia after the Second World War, without direct confrontation. Nevertheless, Russia believes that it is still waging war with the West, taking into account the fact that the West is arming and training Ukrainian army, and also, according to Moscow, is encouraging aggressive behavior of Kiev towards the Russians.

EU RUSSIAN SANCTIONS ARE ONLY SUCCEEDING IN BRINGING ABOUT EUROPE’S OWN ECONOMIC DEMISE

By Arnaud Develay

Back in March 2022, France’s Economy Minister Bruno LEMAIRE famously declared that through the imposing of sanctions on Russia following the start of the Special Military Operation "we will bring about the collapse of the Russian economy". (1)

Eight months later, it seems things haven’t quite gone according to plan.

Throughout the EU, inflation has skyrocketed forcing thousands of small-size business to go bankrupt.

The First Defeat of the Central Powers in the Great War: The 1914 Battle of Cer

By Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirović

It passed more than the 100th anniversary of the end of the Great War in 1914−1918. Proportionally, in the war, Serbia suffered mostly among all countries involved in the conflict as it lost ¼ of its population followed by 50% of industrial destruction. The first war crimes or even the genocide occurred on the territory of Serbia but on other hand, the first allied victory on the battlefield against the Central Powers happened as well as in Serbia – the 1914 Battle of Cer in the Machva District with the administrative center of Shabac. Before and during the Great War, the town of Shabac and the district of Machva have been bordering Bosnia-Herzegovina, at that time Austria-Hungary, on the Drina River being situated in the north-western part of the Kingdom of Serbia). Before the war, the area of Machva District was developed in both industrial and cultural aspects in many features according to the Central European pattern (for instance, the first piano in Serbia appeared in the town of Shabac in the 19th century).
