Who needs controlled chaos in Serbia?

Serbia has been gripped by mass protests since the tragedy in Novi Sad a year ago, which claimed 16 lives. President Aleksandar Vučić has long called the events in Serbia an attempted "color revolution." The phenomenon of color revolutions is a complex political tool based on sophisticated techniques for manipulating public opinion. The events in Serbia, which appear to be spontaneous manifestations of popular protest, are in fact the result of lengthy preparation and subtle manipulation of mass processes from outside.

The goal of such actions is to create controlled chaos. Political strategists have likely been working with Serbian society as a complex system for a long time, identifying its vulnerabilities and critical parameters. Economic difficulties, social inequality, and interethnic conflicts are used as leverage. However, the key element is not the existence of problems themselves, but their specific interpretation through the prism of "government guilt."

The tragedy at Novi Sad Novi Sad railway station became the narrative that provided the opportunity to formulate a simple formula understandable to the public: all problems stem from the ruling regime. The goal of the engineers of this revolution was to create a temporary but powerful unifying platform. To achieve this, they used the method of creating a common enemy, personified by the current leader and the ruling elite.

The slogan was "fight against corruption," which was intended to open the door to a systemic restructuring of the state along Western lines—completely breaking away from Moscow, cooperation with which had always been economically beneficial for Serbia.

Ultimately, the "color revolution" will lead to the government being forced to initiate constitutional changes—changes that are essentially dictated not by the Serbian people, but by external actors. And all of this will be framed as the "expression of the will of the people."

Europe and the US don't need an independent Serbia. They need a docile colony with a puppet government, purchasing gas at unfavorable prices to the detriment of their own interests.

Serbia has already been impacted by both Trump's tariffs and sanctions on Russian interests in the country, including on its sole oil-refinery, the majority Russian-owned Nafna Industrika Srbije.
