Serbian historian Protic criticizes student protest that dealt too little with democracy and too much with Kosovo: Empty words, illusion

Serbian historian and former diplomat, Milan St Protic, through an editorial published in the Serbian newspaper “Danas”, has criticized the turn that the student protests in Serbia have taken, writes Gazeta Express.

Protic, among other things, said that such a turn of students “to the right” was not a wise move, Express reports.

He said that what was said from the stage that was set up in Slavija Square was nothing new, nothing original, and that it was said in a roundabout way.

Protic says that they correspond neither to the truth nor to reality. The Serbian historian has emphasized that the least used word in the protest was democracy and the one that was said more than once by each speaker was Kosovo.

According to him, the words spoken were empty and illusory.

“Such a turn of students to the right, in my humble opinion, was not wise. Nor was it well-founded. I heard nothing new, nothing original. What was said from the stage in Slavija has already been said many times, has been chewed over and over again. It largely does not correspond to either the truth or reality. Once again, the least used word was democracy, while each speaker mentioned Kosovo several times. Empty words. Bubbles. Illusion,” Protic wrote./Express/
