Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said today that he expects the opposition to organize major violence on Saturday, March 15, and warned that anyone who participates in it will be held accountable by the law.
“Anyone who participates in it will be arrested. It may take us 15 minutes, maybe an hour, maybe two. So that the state will know how to behave like a state and there is no philosophy there, and we will only call on them to be peaceful, not to try violence, but I know them and, unfortunately, I have always been right so far,” Vučić said, answering questions from reporters during a tour of the Monastery of the Holy Archangel Gabriel Pinosav near Smederevska Palanka.
Vučić said that only violence occurs every day, because the opposition now understands everything and understands perfectly well that there is no such thing as a “bloody revolution.”
“That is why the nervousness is increasing and that is why they resort to violence,” Vučić said.
Serbia has been the scene of mass protests for more than three months, sparked by the collapse of a canopy on November 1, 2024, at the renovated Novi Sad Railway Station, killing 15 people.
Protest organizers have announced new mass protests in Belgrade for next Saturday, AA writes.
