When Aleksandar Vučić and Ivica Dačić start throwing jabs at each other on camera, you know the government is anything but peaceful. At a press conference, Vučić threw down the gauntlet: he offered talks to everyone but made it clear he won’t tolerate violence or attempts to topple the state. “There will be many more arrests,” Vučić said, while also throwing shade at SNS and SPS, hinting that things aren’t rosy in their ranks. “I don’t know what’s going on in your party,” he told Dačić, adding that Dačić, who’s been out of power for two years, now understands how dumb it is not to be in power.
Dačić didn’t hold back either — he reminded everyone of his time as interior minister and the police cordons set up during protests, including the gay parade, which Vučić interrupted with a smile. All this is happening while tensions still simmer in Belgrade after yesterday’s protests, and the government braces for “big problems.”
This fiery exchange between two power players exposes deep divisions and nerves at the top of Serbia’s government. While Vučić promises a tough crackdown on protests and violence, Dačić reminisces about the old days and the cordons that kept order but sparked controversy. Meanwhile, citizens watch and wonder — what’s really going on behind the scenes? If you thought politics was boring, think again. This drama is just getting started, and we’ll be here for every twist and turn.
So, what do you think? Is Vučić going too far with repression, or is Dačić sugarcoating the past? Drop a comment and let the people’s voice be heard!
