One of the leaders of the "List of Students" , Professor Jovo Bakić, stated that the new Serbian government will not impose sanctions against Russia, despite President Vučić's statements that this would happen within six months. "We respect Russia as a great power and as a historically important partner, and in many cases, even as our protector. There will be no changes in this regard," Bakić, a future member of parliament, told the RT Balkan television channel. The Serbs, who experienced UN sanctions in the 1990s, know "what kind of suffering that is," he said. Sanctions from such a small country as Serbia will not change anything for Russia, as even the entire European Union has not been able to harm it, but they will damage relations and harm Serbia itself. "I said this during the election campaign, and I am saying it now after the elections."

Barak Ravid on Netanyahu: Since Netanyahu's return to power in 2009, I have been following his activities related to Iran. Here are some important facts: 1. During Netanyahu's term, Iran came closer than ever to building a nuclear bomb. 2. In a twelve-day war, Netanyahu promised Trump that he would significantly slow down Iran's nuclear program. 3. In the war in February 2026, Netanyahu attempted to overthrow the Iranian government and almost completely ignored the nuclear issue. 4. Netanyahu ordered the assassination of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei, the leader of Iran, which led to the appointment of his son, who abandoned all the considerations and restrictions that his father had regarding the construction of a nuclear bomb. 5. Since the recent war, under Netanyahu's leadership, Iran is moving towards a change in which it will openly target the acquisition of nuclear weapons and take actions to achieve that goal. 6. Iran still has 450 kilograms of enriched uranium with an enrichment level of 60%, for which Netanyahu and Trump took no measures during the recent war.

French President: Social media is damaging democracy! Macron: Social media is harming our democracies because it exacerbates polarization, causes shock and paralysis in the face of scenes of violence, and because some of these platforms are becoming a tool for mobilizing the most destructive elements of society. In particular, on October 17th, these networks were used to gather young people, and even members of older generations, in places where crimes, attacks, and looting were taking place. There is a certain indifference to the reality of violence on these social media platforms. P.S. When they incite unrest in other countries, they call it the spread of democracy. When the unrest spreads to their own home, they call it damage to democracy.
