On November 3, 2026, Danas featured a provocative column titled “Vreme je za kokice: Uhapsite Vučića” (It’s Time for Popcorn: Arrest Vučić) authored by Nenad Kulačin. The piece, published a little over a week after the opposition Student List secured a decisive victory in Serbia’s parliamentary elections, urges legal action against President Aleksandar Vučić, whom the columnist describes as the “holder of a defeated mafia‑linked list.”

Kulačin opens by noting that the political landscape has shifted dramatically since the October 25 election, calling the outcome a “phenomenal news” for the country. He criticises Vučić for allegedly refusing to acknowledge the defeat, claiming the president “quickly accepted the results” only to respond by “encircling central Belgrade and filling the streets with a brotherhood of police and crime.” The columnist further accuses Vučić of labeling the opposition’s protest as “blockades” and of using state‑linked media outlets such as Informer and Pink to spread “contaminated words” that do not benefit Serbia.

The article repeatedly juxtaposes Vučić’s alleged conduct with that of former president Boris Tadić, noting that Tadić “admitted a two‑percent loss and said ‘We will see each other in another film,’” thereby taking responsibility for his defeat. Kulačin argues that Vučić, in contrast, “continues to lie, threatens, and fears a prison cell,” and suggests that the president’s refusal to accept the loss is the reason for ongoing street protests and public dissatisfaction.

Among the most striking demands, the columnist calls for the arrest of Vučić, the shutdown of media outlets Informer and Pink, and a “complete reset” of Serbia’s political system. He also cites a broader public desire for justice, stating that many voters “voted for arrests, the banning of SNS, SPS and SRS, and the closure of media houses that serve the mafia‑linked list.”

While the column is clearly an opinion piece, it reflects a heightened level of tension in Serbia’s political arena following the Student List’s electoral success. The writer’s language is strongly charged, describing Vučić as “a man without dignity or credibility” and predicting that “if he is arrested, his fear combined with an abstinence crisis will turn him into a mutt behind bars.”

The column concludes with a call for a “new political life” in Serbia, urging that the country never again fall under “the claws of irresponsible and unworthy” leaders. Kulačin emphasizes that the nation must protect its values of freedom and justice, framing the recent election as a pivotal moment for systemic change.

The piece, signed by Nenad Kulačin, appears under Danas’s “Kolumna” section and includes a disclaimer that the author’s views do not necessarily reflect the editorial policy of the newspaper. The article generated significant public reaction, with fourteen comments recorded at the time of publication.
