Sorry, no help - to the contrary, AI robots (and their kins) believe to know your language preference & constantly overrule your choice.

Let me add: how stop search engines imposing search language on users?
(In the recent past, results were based on the language of the search terms ... no longer)

That's essential to educate folks to work at the FSB centre in Niš.

Ok, thanks. One may appreciate keeping Serbocroatian together, one could argue for the larger language group, but the general history is the odd one out.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised, on the long run, if it turns out beneficial for the common good to isolate these profs in a dysfunctional unit.

I tend to agree partly, but am willing to revise this if we should get invited for a workshop nearby a fine kafana. (Sendvičar, professorial edition).

But I am curious about your criteria for 'coherence'? Maybe we could get colleagues from area studies departments on board, or how is SSEES defined?

Ćaci(ji): Čuvari partije Kriminalci osuđivani za ubistva, prebijanja, trgovinu drogom, ali i osobe blisko povezane sa ljudima iz podzemlja, pružali su podršku na protestima u poslednjih godinu dana vladajućoj Srpskoj napredno...

Staatspräsidenten und seinem Bruder direkt kommandiert werden. Mitsamt der kriminellen Elemente, die heute etwa hier thematisiert wurden. www.krik.rs/caciji-cuvar...

Die 3 Elemente erwähne ich, weil sie stehen für
- den moralischen Bankrott
- die Einbindung der Mafia/Kriminalität
- die Panik.

Danke. Mir scheint drei wesentliche Elemente der Regimereaktion kommen zu kurz.
- Das Lied, das sie Ćaciland abspielten und sangen, in dem sie die Mutter auf der Suche nach ihrem Sohn auslachten.
- Die kurzfristige Mobilisierung heute (bezahlt & unter Zwang).
- Die Indizien, dass das Ćaciland vom

Stürzt die neue US-Aussenpolitik die Demokratie weltweit in die Krise? An Osteuropa könnte die Eiszeit der Demokratie vorbeiziehen.

Same day, same topic, but philosophically even more challenging:
Imagine you buy a party, buy elections, buy a country, put other party leaders in jail... but then you yourself vote in an election that you already bought... Can you buy yourself?

As many of you were wondering whether the student protests in Serbia are still active, and amidst expectations that they would die over the summer.

Today is the first day of school. The high school students organised big rallies, and boycotted the start of the school year.

Why am I sharing this?
1. Out of respect for our student hero. She spoke out yesterday about rape threats by a police instructor.
2. This reflects, in the virtual space, quite well the pattern of violence these days in several Serbian towns.

Serbia: Former state minister of police from the regime party reportedly circulated revenge porn against our student at the Uni Belgrade, Pol Sci.
.
The pictures show our student as an underage girl.

The former minister is documented to have close links to the mafia. She has never been sentenced.

Sie sind sehr kritisch mit dem NZZ-Bericht. Er deutet das Tagesgeschehen viel besser als viele andere, erwähnt auch die Brutalität. Ich stimme zu, dass das nach grösserer Einordnung schreit.
Aber mit welchen Quellen? Viele Medien in Serbien sind ja besser darin laut zu schreien als zu analysieren.

Nope, if it's a pomme, it's Kartoffel or Härdöpfel (my dialect);
in Hungary and Yugoslavia, they use a poire de terre.

To cut it short, Kyiv knows perfectly that the problem is Budapest, not Chișinău.
Let's speculate a bit: does this delay Ukraine's progress? Or could we speculate that Kyiv sits implicitly on the same train as a 'blind passenger', and will re-join Chișinău once the impasse in Budapest is resolved.

Do you infer that because you think he is a regime person, or do you have evidence? In the absence of it, did you check Google scholar? (I know, it's not a perfect indicator, but...)
