Dragan Djilas (BETAPHOTO/MILOS MISKOV)
According to Freedom and Justice Party president Dragan Djilas, the renewed attacks launched against him by Progressives, including front-page articles in tabloids, were to be expected.
“I’ve said many times that as soon as [Serbian President] Aleksandar Vucic feels threatened, he will renew his brutal attacks on all opposition leaders. Because none of us were on the front pages a year ago. And since I’ve been targeted ten times more than others, [the change] is obvious,” Djilas told the Oct. 19 edition of the Danas daily.
The Freedom and Justice leader went on to say that he is not the only victim of the Progressives’ smear campaign, but rather that attacks have also been launched against Marinika Tepic, Miroslav Aleksic, Pavle Grbovic and others.
Support to Vucic and his Progressive Party of Serbia has dropped dramatically, Djilas maintained.
“We’ve endured ten years; we’ll endure a few months more. After the elections, Serbia will be a stable, safe European country where no one will blackmail people into voting for the regime so they could keep their jobs. Normalcy will find its way back into our lives,” Djilas concluded.
