Aleksandar Vucic (BETAPHOTO/MILAN ILIC)
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said in the evening of March 11 that the recently-ended university student blockade of the Radio-Television of Serbia (RTS) was a classic hostage crisis and an example of brutal violence.
Speaking for Informer TV, Vucic advised the public not to send children or elderly to the upcoming March 15 protest in Belgrade, because he believes the core theme of the planned gathering is violence.
“I’m doing my part by telling people not to send their children there, nor their elderly, because there’s nothing these people won’t do. A lot of evil can happen, although I hope there will be none,” Vucic stated.
He warned that, in the end, everyone will be held accountable for the crimes perpetrated at the coming rally. “Some will be taken into custody sooner. Some will be taken into custody later. You can’t take them all in either,” the president explained.
Vucic went on to announce that the March 28 regime gathering will be the greatest rally Serbia has ever seen, where people will come “either to liberate Serbia, or to show it is possible to congregate in a normal way.”
At said rally, Vucic said, he will present the program of his Movement for the People and State, whose main idea is “a parliamentary democracy, economic progress, working and studying, respecting the Constitution and laws, rather than have them violated daily.” The president concluded by saying that March 28 will also be the day to fight for the demands of students who want to study.
