Demonstrations are a dead end": Serbia, Generation Z and the youth revolt of Europe | Biljana Vankovska.
This interview with Biljana Vankovska provides a rare leftist and anti-imperialist analysis of the Balkan reality.
Biljana, a native of the former Yugoslavian province known today as Macedonia, rejects wishful optimism and asks uncomfortable questions.
The recent victory of the student list in the elections in Serbia was celebrated as the victory of another "horizontal and leaderless movement". The pattern repeats itself: in this movement that flooded the streets again and again in the last two years, there were many calls for "democracy" and statements that "the Serbian people share European values". Yes, "European values", after three years of genocide in Gaza with the high sponsorship of the European Union. Horizontality, decentralization and the lack of a political project gave birth to an alliance whose only unifying factor is the opposition to Vučić, and resulted in the victory of a student list that has no students.
