Vučić in Seville: Elections, Protests, and the Fight for Serbia’s Future
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić spoke openly in Seville at the UN conference on development financing about the pressing issues facing Serbia — from upcoming parliamentary elections to student protests and blockades shaking the country.
Upcoming Elections – Vučić Admits: “The Favorites Are Big, They Will Surely Win” Vučić made it clear that parliamentary elections will be held when the competent authorities decide, but admitted that the favorites are strong and will definitely win. However, he emphasized that his party must work hard to cross the threshold and secure a presence in the Parliament, as even a three percent difference can be crucial.
Protests and Blockades – Vučić Doesn’t Hold Back The president sharply criticized students and demonstrators who blocked government work, claiming they didn’t allow a single day of work and are hooligans destroying the country. He accused them of lying about police violence and being ready to terrorize Belgrade with masks and balaclavas. Vučić compared student blockades to football brawls, stressing that protests are an expression of helplessness and anger, but the state has the strength to maintain order and law.
UN Conference and Global Challenges At the conference in Seville, Vučić met with 25 heads of state and government but noted that no one was particularly interested in sustainable development. He spoke about global challenges, trade wars, and electricity supply problems, warning that if many issues are not resolved in the next 15 years, Serbia will not be able to provide enough electricity for its citizens.
Cooperation with Spain and Russia Vučić highlighted good cooperation with Spain, especially in economic and infrastructure projects like the construction of a bridge near Bačka Palanka. He also thanked Russia for understanding and support, emphasizing that Serbia has won the fight against attempts of a colored revolution.
Vučić on Serbia’s Future The president stated that Serbia will continue working on its development vision and fight against anyone who wants to harm it. He stressed that the state has the strength and will to maintain order and stability despite challenges and pressures.
Conclusion Vučić in Seville spared neither himself nor his opponents. Elections are on the horizon, protests continue, and Serbia stands at a crossroads between stability and chaos. Will Vučić manage to keep control and lead the country to a better future, or will protests and dissatisfaction only deepen? Time will tell.
