Serbian writer Vladimir Arsenijević recently spoke at the University of Novi Sad (NU2), addressing issues of deep division within Serbia. His talk focused on attacks from right-wing groups, the denial of war crimes, and selective historical memory amongst young people. During the event, students displayed both četnik (Serbian nationalist) and Russian flags, creating a controversial atmosphere. Arsenijević concluded that there appears to be no end in sight to confronting these societal issues. The display of nationalist symbols sparked debate regarding freedom of expression and the prevalence of divisive ideologies. The event highlighted ongoing tensions and polarization within Serbian society and a struggle to reconcile with the past.
