Interior Minister Ivica Dacic has addressed statements coming from Serbian police (MUP) unions concerning protests of workers and veterans. On Friday, the government made a decision to order MUP to remove blockades from roads and railroads “taking all possible measures to secure the uninterrupted flow of traffic”. Police union say they “won’t beat hungry workers“ Today, Dacic said that the police will only react “as the last resort” and that there will be no abuse of police, related to the breaking up of blockades. He spoke in reaction to a statement issued by the Serbian Police Union, to say that the “union knows that police will not be abused” and that “police will not beat the people”. “No one will abuse police and no one will be beating people,” Dacic said, calling on citizens to refrain from engaging in conflicts with police. The minister also pointed out that Serbia cannot allow anymore blockades of highways and railroads. But the Serbian Police Union said in its press release that it received “with indignation” the government’s announcement that it will use police to stop the “demonstrations of hungry workers throughout Serbia”. “That would only turn police against their own people, which no one will succeed in doing,” said the union. “Hungry policemen cannot attack hungry workers. We agree that highways cannot be blocked, because this harasses all other citizens as well, but this is not the way to solve it. Before this happens, it must be determined what made the workers take it to the streets,” the union stated, reminding of the difficult circumstances under which police are working, and adding that police feel for the workers, because they’re facing the same problems.

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
