About the book

Siniša Korica is likely the only remaining living member of the SFRY government from the time of Milka Planinc’s mandate. In the book Stopped Time he, in a popular-essay style, identifies the milestones of an era in which he was not only an observer but also partly an active participant. The central part of the book is devoted to the period between two uprisings: the "yogurt revolution" of 1988 and the student demonstrations of 2025. Particularly interesting are the author's observations about major social tremors in peacetime, uprisings that changed the world, the environment and perspectives. Korica also writes about the decline of socialism and about the signs he could follow in the mid-1980s from the front row, directly from sessions of the Federal Executive Council, with a special focus on the role of the International Monetary Fund in those events. The book concludes with the chapter Denouement, in which the author outlines his own view of a way out of the crisis that has for years undermined the foundations of society and damaged social relations in Serbia.
