Vučić on Seven Months of Terror, Calls for Civil Unrest, and Police Professionalism Under Pressure
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić delivered a fiery speech last night revealing a grim picture of the country’s state. For seven months, he says, terror has been ongoing, crossing all limits – citizens have been called to clashes, and the law has been trampled underfoot. Vučić does not hide that the situation is serious and that many more arrests will follow due to attacks on the police.
A Direct Call for Civil Unrest?
Vučić clearly condemned a recent post which, according to him, was a “green light” for violence and civil clashes. He claims that the violent individuals have taken the law into their own hands and that it is time for the prosecution to finally act. “I will not sign any pardons,” the president stated, emphasizing that this is a matter of responsibility.
Who is to Blame for the Violence?
The president accused not only arrogant and reckless young people but also older individuals who incite them for their own personal interests. “Do you really think there is anyone stronger than the state? There is no one!” Vučić said, adding that he is proud of the police professionalism, which reacted with minimal force, something he claims is unseen anywhere else in Europe.
Police Under Pressure but Unyielding
Deputy Police Director Dejan Luković confirmed that during the riots in Belgrade, 48 police officers were injured, and 77 people were detained, including a minor. Vučić highlighted that the police showed exceptional tolerance and patience but that there will be more arrests due to attacks on them.
Violence and False Information
The president condemned media outlets that, according to him, spread lies about the incidents, such as claims that the ambulance was blocked. He explained that the ambulance had to pass to treat an injured police officer and was not blocked.
Changes in the System and Education
Vučić announced that changes will be made in the education system and that much will have to be changed in society to prevent further violence. He also stated that the protests were foolish and pathetic, and that the organizers knew violence would escalate.
Political Scene and Elections
The president announced that elections will be held before May next year and that he will support the candidate who wins, but he himself will not be a candidate. He also invited the opposition to participate in important projects like EXPO but emphasized that the state will continue regardless of their involvement.
Conclusion
The situation in Serbia is tense, with seven months of violence and terror on the streets. Vučić calls for responsibility and justice while the police endure attacks but remain professional. Will things calm down or will violence escalate? Time will tell. What do you think – is Vučić right, or is this just another political show? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s who in this drama!
