President of the Serbian Progressive Party Milos Vucevic cautioned on July 14 that Prime Minister Djuro Macut “will have difficulties withstanding the pressure” surrounding the Law on National Textbooks for elementary schools.
“The state must take responsibility for the national textbook package. It includes the Serbian language - the mother tongue - history and geography, basically, the world around us. Art and music have also been added to the package,” Vucevic told Pink TV.
In a comment on a decision to block exams at the Faculty of Law in Novi Sad, Vucevic explained that tt was not students blocking other students, but rather “blockers preventing children who registered for the exam from taking it.” He also regretted that as prime minister he “made a mistake by failing to insist more strongly on a law that would allow foreign universities to operate in Serbia.”
The ruling party’s leader added Marko Perkovic Thompson’s concert in Zagreb was “the best illustration” of the prevailing sentiment in Croatia. “I’m thrilled it happened, because I’m tired of the Serbs telling me things are different in Croatia, that the situation is not the same in Istria, or on the islands. Let me tell you something - it’s not different, it’s all the same everywhere. Stop lying to yourselves,” Vucevic warns.
