🥊 Brawling

Street clashes in Novi Sad between ruling party activists and student supporters have drawn the attention of the police and the president. Aleksandar Vučić has issued a statement following the violence; sociologists describe the recurring friction as a reflection of a sadomasochistic type of authoritarian personality. The capital remains focused on the alleged assault of a councilwoman by Belgrade’s mayor, with supporters gathering to demand an arrest as the victim provided her police statement. While the city watches the precinct, two energy deadlines arrived unceremoniously today: the exclusive operating license for the state oil company expired, as did the window for negotiations between MOL and Gazprom Neft. Election integrity remains a matter of some debate. High school graduates traveling abroad are reporting dead-end email addresses as they try to register to vote, while commission members have highlighted a residential building in Belgrade where 15 people are registered to a single 24-square-meter apartment.
