The Freedom and Justice Party leader, Dragan Djilas, says that Europe tolerates Aleksandar Vucic's rule even though he's clearly a "dictator", only because he's an obedient one, fulfilling all the requests.

"Europe still likes to think that it doesn't matter if someone's a dictator, as long as he listens. (Belarus President Alexander) Lukashenko doesn't listen, Vucic does, obeying all the requests. He would obey, even if someone wanted to take away our air, so we can't breath, or destroy our land, so Rio Tinto can do whatever it wants," Djilas said in a Sept. 27 interview with the Nova paper.

Djilas described as "insolent" the words of a Member of European Parliament, Vladimir Bilcik, who, after a mediation effort by his organization in a government-opposition dialogue to improve  the election process in Serbia, said that he would run in the next vote if he were him.

Speaking of the way the president of Serbia rules, Djilas said that "Vucic is buying people - with money, positions or by using connections to help someone get a hospital bed or a job." He personally corrupts some European politicians. Yet I still believe, despite all the slaps we have been getting from the European Union (EU) that most of European politicians do foster a genuine system of values, and that in the end someone will say that this can't go on," Djilas hopes.
