Slobodan Samardzic (Belgrade, March 10, 1953), Ph.D. in political science, full professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade and a former deputy in the Assembly of the Republic of Serbia. He had been the Minister for Kosovo and Metohija in the second government of Dr. Vojislav Koštunica from 2007 to 2008. Up to 2014 Samardzic had been a member and a Vice-President of Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS). Since June 2015 he has become the President of the Statehood Movement of Serbia (DPS).

Has anyone in Serbia seriously analyzed so-called “The German-German Treaty” signed on December 21, 1972, that our current politicians, headed by Vučić, speaking of with awe? Has anyone ever wondered why and for what reason Serbia, in fall 2007, rejected this interstate agreement as a model for resolving the issue of Kosovo and Metohija?

THE PROFESSOR, THE WARD-HEELER AND THE PLAYWRIGHT

A Measure of Self-defense

Scene 1: President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić goes to the White House. Scene 2: Vice President Mike Pence met with President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić. The leaders (Pence is the Vice-Leader) agreed on the importance of the bilateral relationship and expressed the desire to deepen the partnership between the United States and Serbia. The Vice President expressed U.S. support for Serbia's efforts to join the European Union, the need for continued reforms, and further progress in normalizing the relationship with Kosovo. Scene 3: President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić came back to Serbia.  Scene 4: Out of the blue President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić calls for the "internal dialogue" on "Kosovo". Dialogue scene staging: President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić won't participate in the discussion. He won't come out with his proposal how to solve "Kosovo issue", though he has one, already. President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić shall eulogize those whose discussion  is in accordance to his unspoken position, and condemn all those whose discussion is not in accordance to his unspoken position on "Kosovo". President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić calls that "democratic discussion where everybody has a chance to say his/her opinion freely, and he shall do whatever we the people decide" Playwright Dušan Kovačević reacted as an intellectual to support  President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić's unspoken position, nobody knows  what is. In short, he said that Serbia has no kids for the new war!?  President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić's highly valued Playwright Dušan Kovačević's contribution to the "internal discussion" that hasn't even started yet, in the media.  Slobodan Samardzic, Professor of Political Science, Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Belgrade and the president of the Statehood Movement of Serbia, Minister for Kosovo and Metohija from 2007 to 2008, came out with his opinion, as well, criticizing in the same time the way President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić conduct his policy toward Kosovo and Metohija, and reckless Playwright Dušan Kovačević's statement. University professor and scholar Slobodan Samardžić was savagely attacked by pro-President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić's media, because it is obvious that his position is not in a chord with President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić's unspoken solution for the "Kosova" issue. The "internal dialogue on Kosovo" continues, though, nobody opened it formally, and the mode of this "discussion" is completely unknown.
