At the end of last week, Slobodan Marinković had had enough. The medical professor filed a criminal complaint against Serbia’s Prime Minister Ana Brnabić with the Belgrade Public Prosecutor’s Office. According to the doctor, inaction on the part of the head of government is mainly responsible for the fact that Serbia has moved from being a model boy in the fight against Covid to the sad bottom in Europe: Nowhere in Europe In terms of population, more newly infected people are reported than in Serbia, which has a good seven million inhabitants. There were more than 7000 every day in the past week. And every third Covid test is positive, which indicates that the real number of newly infected is much higher.
