Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić presented five demands on Saturday at the central rally as part of the three-day “We Will Not Give Up Serbia” convention in front of the National Assembly in Belgrade, the first of which is that the competent authorities and institutions within their jurisdiction initiate appropriate procedures and take measures to establish peace and order in the country and to establish full respect for the constitution and law and ensure the security of the country and its citizens
“We demand that the legal responsibility of all persons who participated in vandalism and attacks on citizens during their peaceful gatherings in Serbia be established. We demand that the competent authorities and institutions, primarily the competent prosecutor’s offices, initiate appropriate procedures within their jurisdiction in order to establish peace and order in the country, and we especially demand that full respect for the Constitution and the law be established,” Vučić stated.
Among the demands is that every pupil and student be allowed to attend school and study if they wish, as well as that the perpetrators, instigators and helpers in carrying out activities that involve attacks on vital state institutions and facilities be discovered and that such activities be prevented in the future.
Vučić said that “honorable and honest Serbia has risen up and will no longer tolerate harassment, that it wants to fight democratically and peacefully, but that it is no longer afraid of anyone.”
Stating that there is no more fear, Vučić told those who would carry out a colored revolution that “they will no longer beat anyone with impunity.”
Speaking during the central rally, he called on the 145,000 people, estimated by police to be present, to be quiet so that everyone could hear the silence and see how these people were listening carefully, “because they are concerned about Serbia.”
Vučić stated that the nationwide movement was needed for new energy and strength, but also to “remind of the most important values in society, as well as because a development plan for Serbia until 2035 is needed.”
“We need new energy and strength. We need a new plan not only until 2027, but until 2035, and that is why the movement is here now,” Vučić said.
He stated that the blockades of the past months have caused a lot of damage to Serbia, but that the country will fight to be among the top three fastest growing economies in Europe this year, no matter what, and that is why it is important that a new government is elected quickly.
The Serbian president also stated that Serbia must look at its position in the world, as well as protect Kosovo, but also stand by its people in the Republika Srpska.
“We will always have to protect the right of our people without interfering in their internal affairs and that in Montenegro they can speak their Serbian language the way their great-grandfathers and grandfathers and fathers used to speak,” said Vučić.
The Serbian president of Serbia declared that the color revolution was over and that the protesters had made a crucial mistake, because Serbs will never allow someone to overthrow their country.
“The attack on Serbia did not start from Serbia, it came from outside, and don’t have any illusions. It came from outside, because some from abroad do not want to see a free, independent and sovereign Serbia. They do not want to see a country that will make its own decisions. They want us to be like those from 2000 to 2012, only blind followers and those who will implement other people’s policies. And Serbs and citizens of Serbia want to have their own policy,” he said.
He pointed out that the Serbs are not a numerically large nation, but that they have always been a free and libertarian nation that wanted to make its own decisions and that it will always be like that in the future, because, as he said, “you cannot break the spine of the Serbian people.”
“Maybe everything would have gone their way, maybe their colored revolution would have gone their way. And then they made a key mistake. In all that great aggression, huge attacks, people saw that they were going to destroy our state. And you can touch everything about Serbs, but we have one wonderful trait that many peoples in the world do not have. And that is – when a state is touched and when we see that they want to destroy our state, then we all unite, then we all follow our red-blue-white tricolor and we will not let anyone destroy our state,” Vučić said.
He said that he would not let “neither those outside nor those inside destroy our state.”
“And let me tell you, their colored revolution is over. They can walk around as much as they want. There is nothing to it. Their colored revolution is over,” Vučić emphasized.
