FOCUS ON SERBIA
Serbian students are not giving up on blockades. After the 24-hour blockade of Belgrade’s Avtokomanda, Novi Sad will be blocked this weekend. Three months have passed since the terrible accident that took 15 lives and the same number of months since the student blockades that woke up all of Serbia.
In this episode of Labyrinth, we talk to Aleksandra Krstic, a professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade, who was also a candidate for a member of REM, the regulatory body for the supervision of electronic media, but together with 6 other professors withdrew their candidacies due to numerous irregularities in the process.
We also talk to fellow journalist, Nikola Krstic, who is one of the journalists facing public lynching and labeling by pro-government tabloids.

Dolidze: Georgians are not giving up on the fight for a European future – There will be protests even during the holidays
Georgians will welcome the New Year with protests and will not give up on their European future – says the Leader of the For the People party, Anna Dolidze. Dolidze is an expert in international law, until 2018 she was the legal advisor to the President, and then a member of the Judicial Council.
In Labyrinth we talked about the stolen elections and the Russian hybrid influence that managed to divert the country from the European integration path. The protests escalated, and the use of water cannons and violence by the police did not change the Georgians’ minds to continue fighting for their rights. About 500 protesters, including some injured, will spend the holidays in detention. We also discussed with Dolidze the international support and the sanctions imposed by the US and the UK on some of the Georgian authorities, but not by the European Union.
