Former Ombudsman Sasa Jankovic he stated that after March 15 and shooting at the citizens of Serbia with a sound weapon, any activity in Serbia that would further intensify that situation would lead to an open civil conflict.
"If it had happened that the police brigade had come out, that is, if a gentleman from the police leadership, whom I thank on this occasion, had not stopped the intention to attack the people directly, we would have had a more or less open civil conflict," Janković told Insider television.
He pointed out that the use of sonic weapons against peaceful citizens, at the time of delivering mail to victims of the fall of the canopy at the Railway Station in Novi Sad, is an absolute violation of human rights.
"Citizens can do everything that is not prohibited by criminal or other law and that is our freedom, which is not unlimited, because it has to be limited by something because of the freedom of others, but the state can only do what is written in the law and nothing else," said Janković and added that the minister cannot say that he did something, because the law does not say that he cannot.
According to him, the minister and the ministry can only do what is written in the law, and if such weapons were not in the Law on Internal Affairs, they should not have been acquired.
"We have the right to physical and mental integrity, to safety, and people are injured. I remind you that Aleksandar Vučić said before that, 'We will let them go for 5-10 minutes, and then the state will play the end,' so that in the 11th minute of silence, a sound cannon would be used," pointed out Janković.
When asked if the president of Serbia, when he said that the state would play the end, was referring to sonic weapons, Jankovic answered: "Well, of course he meant that. After that he said that children should not be taken, because the state will play the end. He repeated that slightly unusual expression more than once, twice, but none of us understood, and no one could."
Janković assessed that the crisis in Serbia is visible in all areas and added that, first of all, he sees it as a crisis of the ethics of the government, the appreciation of what is good and what is bad.
"The government says: what keeps us in power is good, and what keeps us out of power is bad. Anything that leaves us in power - be it conflict, riots, repression, dictatorship - is good, and bad is what makes us lose power," said Janković.
