The sequences revolving around Danica and Boris are more accessible in that sense because there are not so many people and names in them, however, those where the focus is on Uro\u0161 can be confusing. Given that &#8216;Sablja&#8217; is evidently primarily made for a Serbian audience, which better than an uninformed observer knows the people on whom the characters in the series are based, it is understandable that the authors did not spend too much time introducing everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new Serbian drama series, written and directed by Vladimir Tagi\u0107 and Goran Stankovi\u0107, is airing on the Max platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Rakni\u0107 writes, the story is told from the perspective of four characters: &#8220;journalist Danica (Milica Gojkovi\u0107), who follows political events in Serbia; detective Boris (Ljubomir Bandovi\u0107), who is trying to discover how \u0110in\u0111i\u0107 was killed; petty criminal Uro\u0161 (Lazar Tasi\u0107), who helped the assassins; and \u0110in\u0111i\u0107 (Dragan Mi\u0107anovi\u0107), the Serbian Prime Minister who was killed for his efforts to crack down on organized crime in Serbia.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE: <\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/this-is-the-plan-for-dismantling-the-deep-state-trump-presents-an-agenda-to-fundamentally-change-the-us-video\/\">THIS IS THE PLAN FOR DISMANTLING THE \u201cDEEP STATE\u201d: Trump presents an agenda to fundamentally change the US!
