Aleksandar Vučić, the president of Serbia, spoke after the detention of Severina at the Serbian border.
Vučić also mentioned Selma Bajrami and pointed out that they hate Serbia and talk nonsense.
“I will surprise you now with what I have to tell you. I called Dačić this morning, woke him up, to see what was happening with Severina. He told me that’s how it is and that’s how it is, and told me that she was not taken into custody, she was kept at the limit of two hours. And I think it’s very stupid and unnecessary. Not because of Severina, we have to differ from them in everything. God forbid that they will arrest anyone who listens to Thompson’s songs. Let them all go, and Selma. They are talking about themselves. We will not be the country that will arrest anyone who sings. Let them talk nonsense all day…”, he said.
As a reminder, Severina Vučković was detained on Sunday evening at the border between Croatia and Serbia. The Serbian police “conducted the usual interrogation procedure, which is applied to all persons whose statements are considered questionable by the Serbian state authorities.”
After discussions with the competent authorities, Severina was granted entry into Serbia. Nevertheless, the singer decided to return to Croatia on her own initiative, instead of continuing her journey to Serbia.
