"First of all, Serbian Progressive Party she has never organized counter rallies and will never organize counter rallies. Second, President Aleksandar Vučić will appear tomorrow on the public media service RTS and answer all those brutal lies," said the President of the National Assembly on Monday (June 16). Ana Brnabic in Pink Television's National Diary.
Earlier on the same day, some officials, such as Minister Demo Beriša and the Vice-President of the National Assembly, Marina Raguš, announced that on Vidovdan, June 28, a meeting of the Movement for the People and the State will be held in Belgrade.
The students previously invited citizens to a protest that day, similar to the one held in Belgrade on March 15.
"There has never been any counter rally. We have heard so far 'n' times that we will hold counter rallies one day and there won't be one this time either. For us Vidovdan is a holiday of love for our country and people, a holiday of togetherness, of a strong and victorious Serbia," said Brnabić and added:
"Unlike those, I still have to say, rascals and rascals of the blockaders who used Vidovdan to announce lynching and violence against students who want to study and called them, practically, to get out of Ćaciland, Pionirski Park, or I guess they will remove them, in any way".
Brnabić said that for those students Pioneer Park is "the only free territory".
"The blockaders have already kicked them out of their faculties, they kicked them out of their student dormitories, they are attacking their families and vandalizing their houses. They moved to Pionirski Park to say: we want to study and we want to stay there until every faculty starts classes normally. Then those bastards and rascals from the blockaders used Vidovdan to announce the final physical confrontation with students who just want to study and fulfill their constitutionally guaranteed right to knowledge and education," the president pointed out National Assembly.
She said that violence will not be allowed in Belgrade on June 28. However, she especially emphasized that violence against people in Pionirski Park will not be allowed.
"I have to say, as a representative of the legislative authority, that it will not be allowed for anyone to attack other people, and certainly students, young people who want to learn, get educated, progress, in order to help their country and their people tomorrow. Attacks on them will not be allowed," said Brnabić.
"Are they normal?"
When asked by journalist Pinka what the "student blockers" want to achieve with the criminal complaint they intend to file against the President of Serbia for his visit to the injured in the fire at the discotheque in Kočani while they were in intensive care, Brnabić shook her head.
"It's hard to understand. I think the question on the mind of every normal citizen is: are they normal. It's hard to understand a criminal charge against the president for something like that. At the same time, that criminal charge is being filed by the blockaders who were in front of the Clinical Center that day, whistling, screaming, harassing the medical staff and doctors and those people from North Macedonia who suffered that tragedy and terrible trauma. At no point did they wonder if it might bother someone. They have no desire to protect anyone or to help anyone in any way," said the Speaker of the Parliament and concluded:
"It is another attack on the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, because he wanted to show both human and state concern for the fraternal people of North Macedonia."
