Several journalists and activists said tonight that people from the circle of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik called them and “tried to corrupt them in exchange for stopping criticizing the government.”
“They called me from Vučić’s office with some kind of offer that I didn’t like. On the way, they told me that he turns green when he hears my name. None of his closest associates can stand him, but they have to because they know that he will never work in Serbia again no job if they leave it,” said actor and director from Sarajevo Feđa Štukan at the forum “Foreign mercenary and domestic traitor” in Dubrovnik.
Journalist and writer Dragan Bursać said that he was once called by a “Minister of Dodik”.
“Dodik’s minister called me and asked me if I would be his adviser and offered me a figure. I refused, and he said: ‘You know what, Bursać, Ronaldo is Ronaldo, so change the club,'” said Bursać.
Activist Aida Ćorović said that when her younger brother was dying, Suzana Vasiljević from Vučić’s cabinet called her with a job offer.
“I needed every dinar. But there are simply borders that I cannot cross,” said Aida Ćorović.
She assessed that the natural sequence of things is the fact that those in power in Serbia are those who produced wars on the territory of Yugoslavia in the nineties of the 20th century and who are now “waging war against their own people”.
“Cosmic justice is that Serbia is going through this hell. Evil has turned the circle and returned to where it started. We are now watching the end of metastasis in a society. Vučić and his clique know that they will be dead the moment they fall from power. And they will not be killed by me or ordinary citizens, but by criminals and mobsters with whom they worked,” Aida Ćorović assessed.
Television presenter Zoran Kesić said that, regardless of the fact that it sometimes seems futile, it is worth continuing the fight for human rights and “against madness”.
The tribune was held in the theater of Marin Držić, as part of the “Rebedu” festival, which takes place from March 7 to 10 in Dubrovnik, and this year it is called “Buy me, mom, one small war!”.
The festival is also dedicated to marking the 60th anniversary of the birth of the deceased journalist and writer from Split, Predrag Lucić (1964 – 2018), one of the founders of the cult independent weekly from the largest Dalmatian city, “Feral Tribune”, Beta news agency writes.
