Systems between an event and its audience decide what is seen, in what order and how often. Power is less about who possesses information than about who decides what people see, hear and consider important.03 Sep 2026 17:54 +0000at://did:plc:kxddpuc2fss6rrq736kpdwpl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumzfxegns2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/odragas.bsky.social/post/3mu3m36kzc22qSerbia today is divided between those who mourn him and those who wish he had suffered longer.

She humiliated Serbia, damaged its interests, and showed how quickly political nostalgia for the 1990s can return to the highest levels of the state.
