The new US National Security Strategy, in its predictable and characteristic ugliness, is a good occasion for Europe to finally let go of the time-consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and start focusing on a proper and proactive own strategy instead.
Europe Needs A New Strategy Too
The new US National Security Strategy helps - or forces - European leaders to let go of the consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and to focus on an own strategy instead.

Few have contributed more to relativizing fascism in Croatia than Thompson. It is good news that the mayor of Zagreb and the city council are reacting www.index.hr/vijesti/clan...

NASTAVLJA se prepiranje Tomaševića i Thompsona.

🔹Student list in Serbia is an extraordinary experiment in democracy

"The student movement does not offer a comprehensive political alternative, but return of politics to the public space."

Studentski pokret ne može ponuditi sveobuhvatnu političku alternativu, ali to ni nije potrebno. Ovo je borba koja ima za cilj da uspostavi osnovne uslove za politiku.

Serbia Protests: Student-led Demonstrations Aim to Unseat President Vucic
More violence over the summer has shown the depth of discontentment in a country that the EU has been trying to keep onside.
