🌙 Nightshift

On the eve of the national elections, a potential record voter turnout is anticipated, with an unprecedented number of domestic and international observers poised to monitor the vote. Concerns over election integrity are underscored by the Administrative Court Registry Office's decision to operate outside normal hours, a move interpreted as anticipating arrests related to the upcoming elections. Adding to the pre-election atmosphere, a controversy has arisen regarding alleged violations of election silence by N1 and Nova S, claims that Slobodan Šabić asserts were unauthorized by independent members of the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media. Meanwhile, former heads of the criminal investigation and public security police have issued a public warning to police officers, urging them not to conceal their identities and to adhere to constitutional principles. Several prominent Serbian actors, including Milan Marić, Andrija Milošević, Viktor Savić, Dragan Bjelogrlić, and Vesna Trivalić, have called on citizens to participate in the elections. Beyond the elections, a significant social issue has come to light, revealing that at least 150 young people in Belgrade are regularly involved with criminal clans, acting as couriers for illegal activities. Additionally, discussions are ongoing regarding Serbia's economic policy, specifically the need for a fixed or floating exchange rate, and the challenges of calculating heating costs in apartments lacking proper measurement devices. The country is also examining the profitability and challenges of adopting small modular reactors for nuclear power.
