Political Commentary on Serbian Elections
In Belgrade in 2026,
it is still not known who actually came to power
because, with all due respect
for that fine academic
world that entered the Serbian parliament,
hardly anyone asked about their
political worldview and
ideological affiliation.
The only question in the election was
whether you were for or against Vučić.
So not only did the Serbs
sweep away both the
government and the
opposition in one blow,
they do not even know why
or for whom they voted.
All Serbs who voted
for the student list,
leftists and rightists, Partisans and
Chetniks, now think
that their side won.
And so, on election night,
the wife of Velja Nevolja, who
is currently in custody,
suspected of multiple murders,
kidnappings, rapes and drug dealing, celebrated.
Because Mrs. Nevolja also thinks that
with the fall of Vučić’s regime, dawn broke
Freedom for her husband, Velja.
If it weren't for Vučić and the Chetniks,
there wouldn't be a single problem here.
And when they took Vučić from us on
the very first night, now these
kids want to take the Chetniks away from us too.
Well, dear children,
without Chetniks in Serbia,
we Croatians would have
nothing to talk about or anyone
to think about. If, after all this,
Serbia doesn't end up
with some
decent Chetnik government, we're totally screwed.
If some peaceful Europeans prevail there,
the worst thing could
happen to us:
we might start dealing with ourselves.
Just imagine that horror!
Who in their right mind wants to
face themselves and their own problems?
For 30 years,
we've built our national
identity on the idea that
Serbs and Chetniks are to blame for everything,
and now they might take that away from us.
So, dear students,
if you absolutely must change the government, please
you to keep a couple of Chetniks so we can
continue these bilateral relations in which
we all equally enjoy ourselves
and please stop trampling on Vojislav Šešelj's remains.
Return him, brother, let him keep hanging there,
because if he isn't hanging, we're
left hanging here.

U Beogradu 2026. se još uvijek ne zna tko je zapravo došao na vlast jer za svo poštovanje prema tom finom akademskom svijetu koji je ušao u srpsku skupštinu
malo tko je pitao za njihov politički svjetonazor i ideološko opredjeljenje. Jedino pitanje na izborima je bilo jesi li za ili protiv Vučića.
Tako da ne samo da su Srbi jednim udarcem pomele i vlast i oporbu, nego uopće ne znaju zašto
su i za koga su glasali. Svi Srbi koji su glasali za studentsku listu i lijevi i desni i partizani i četnici sad misle
da su pobijedili njihovi. Pa je tako u izbornoj noći slavila i supruga Velje Nevolje koji trenutno sjedi u pritvoru osumnjičen za višestruka ubojstva,
otmice, silovanja i dilanje droge. Jer i gospođa Nevolja misli da je s padom Vučićevog režima svanula sloboda za supruga Velju. Da nije bilo Vučića i četnika,
ovdje niti jednog problema ne bi bilo. I kad su nam već prve noći uzeli Vučića, sad bi nam ti klinci htjeli uzeti i četnike. Pa djeco draga, pa
bez četnika u Srbiji mi u Hrvatskoj ne bi imali o čemu pričati ni o kome misliti. Ako iz svega ovoga Srbija na kraju ne
dobije neku poštenu četničku vlast, mi smo totalno nagrabusili. Ako se tamo prevagnu neki miroljubivi europejci, nama bi se moglo dogoditi ono najgore:
da se počnemo baviti samim sobom. Pa zamislite taj užas! Pa tko se normalan želi suočiti sa sobom i svojim problemima? Trideset godina smo
gradili nacionalni identitet na tome da su nam za sve krivi Srbi i četnici, a sad bi nam to mogli uzeti. Zato, dragi
studenti, ako već morate mijenjati vlast, molimo vas da zadržite par četnika da možemo nastaviti ove bilateralne odnose u kojima svi jednako uživamo i molimo vas da više ne gazite po posmrtnim Vojislava Šešelja.
Vratite ga, brate, tamo neka i dalje visi, jer ako on ne visi, mi smo ovdje izvisili.
