A year ago, during the devastating floods that hit Serbia, writings of cer-
tain users of social networks, characterized as panic spreading and threat to
security, was met with condemnation of public officials. They were led by the
Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic. In this paper, we
are trying to carry out a scientific description of the actions of the government,
especially of the Prime Minister, towards one group of social networks users.
The theoretical framework that we are going to use is the theory of securitiza-
tion, as a normatively neutral analytical framework. The primary method we
are going to apply is critical discourse analysis. We are going to test whether
the Prime Minister of Serbia securitized the activities of certain users of social
networks in the Republic of Serbia, which is the first research question of this
paper. The starting point of this paper is that the Prime Minister did commit
aforementioned securitization. Bearing in... mind the different form compared
to traditional securitizing move, another issue to which this work will seek to
provide an answer is what the reasons that led to the successful securitization
were, despite of certain shortcomings in relation to the purely theoretical model
(primarily in terms of “security grammar”). The paper argues that this is due to
the socio-political and socio-linguistic dimension of the context in which the
securitization was carried out.
