Savremena politika (meaning “Contemporary Politics” in English) is a Serbian online news and commentary portal focused on the domestic and foreign policy of Serbia, as well as regional and international political developments relevant to Serbia and the Western Balkans.[1]
History
Savremena politika emerged as a continuation and rebranding of European Western Balkans – Srbija, a Serbian-language portal launched in 2017.[2]
According to the portal’s launch text, the rebranding in 2025 was conceived as an expansion of the previous editorial concept, broadening the earlier focus on European integration to include a wider range of topics related to Serbian domestic politics, foreign policy, and regional affairs, while retaining coverage of European integration issues.[3]
Profile and editorial scope
The portal presents itself as a media outlet whose goal is to provide credible information and foster public discussion on contemporary political challenges.[4] Its published structure includes sections for news, analyses, interviews, opinions, columns, comments, student contributions, infographics, and video content.[5]
The homepage also contains a dedicated EWB section, indicating continued editorial linkage with the European Western Balkans brand and its coverage of European integration and enlargement-related topics.[6]
Columnists
The portal’s regular columnists include Boško Jakšić, a foreign policy commentator, former Yugoslav corresponded form the Middle East, whose column is titled Igre senki (Shadow Games); Jelena Obućina, editor and news anchor of the Dnevnik programme on TV Nova, one of the most popular TV personalities in Serbia, whose column is titled Prekid programa (Programme Interruption); Dušan Gajić, European correspondent from Brussels, whose column is titled Briselske beleške (Brussels Notes); and Dušan Milenković, a political consultant, whose column is titled Umetnost mogućeg (The Art of the Possible).[7][8][9][10][11]
