Three days before the meeting of the newly founded Movement for the People and the State, the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, presented one of the demands that will be discussed then - everyone must be held accountable for "violence".
In Belgrade, on April 12 at 19 p.m., a large gathering of the newly established political party is taking place Movements for the people and the state President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić.
The gathering, the president announced earlier, will last three days, and the central event will be held in front of the National Assembly building on Saturday.
This will be another president's counter-meeting, which was conceived as a counterpart to the largest protest rally in the history of Serbia, which was held on March 15 in Belgrade.
The students in the blockade now have six demands, and the President of Serbia presented one demand that will be discussed at the meeting of his movement.
He announced on Instagram that one of the demands of the Movement for the People and the State rally will be an invitation to students to return to classes. Vučić added that all those responsible for violence in the country will be brought to justice, at the same time targeting the United Media company as a "platform for carrying out violence in Serbia".
"That will be one of the essential demands of the Great National Assembly on Saturday, April 12," said President Vučić from Paris ahead of the meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

"Everyone will be held accountable"
The president also addressed the plenum meeting of students of the Faculty of Traffic and Medicine, which was also attended by a member of the Serbian Progressive Party. Not only did he attend, but he also secretly recorded the conversations, and the footage was later published on the regime's Informer TV.
On Monday (April 7), Informer TV aired a video from a plenum of students at the Faculty of Medicine, where they are allegedly planning to block Nikola Tesla Airport and break into flight control.
The editor-in-chief of Informer, Dragan J. Vučićević called this "planning of a terrorist act". The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office reacted immediately by ordering the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Security and Information Agency to collect all information related to the recording, and one student was detained for an informative interview.
The students of the Faculty of Transportation who attended this plenum issued a statement shortly after the broadcast of the video in which they explained that the plans presented on that occasion were part of a carefully thought-out strategy to uncover the source of the leak of internal information, and on the video you can clearly see the inscription "Spin THIS", most likely addressed to pro-government tabloids.
Vučić said that the entire public was informed these days "how the famous plenums look like, that they talk about the commission of serious crimes".
"We have seen that the platform for implementing violence in Serbia, United Media, calls people to violence if there is no government according to their will, regardless of the fact that they do not have a majority, regardless of the fact that nothing would be in accordance with the law," said Vučić.
To all those who, as he said, "talk about violence, salutary violence", he said that he will answer, and that this will be one of the demands that will be presented at the rally he is organizing on Saturday, April 12, in Belgrade.
"And they will not give up on those demands until they are fully met. The perpetrators will have to answer, and Serbia will be free again, freed from terror. Everyone will be able to move as, where and where they want, everyone will have the right to gather, everyone will have the right to think for themselves, not someone else's," said Vučić.
"Students to think and return to the classrooms"
At the same time, he appealed to the students "to think, to return to their amphitheatres, to their classrooms, to study and work."
"My request is for them to understand that the time of pressure and violence has passed. My request is only for them to do what is best for themselves and to do what would make them and their parents proud," said Vučić, the man who effectively controls all institutions in the country.
The day before (April 8), the Ministry of Education filed 37 misdemeanor charges against higher education institutions and responsible persons for not holding classes.
Institutions have been given eight days to start classes, which will be determined in the control supervision, after which new misdemeanor reports can be expected.
The penalty for not conducting classes for institutions is from 200.000 to two million dinars, and for responsible persons from 5.000 to 50.000 dinars.

Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
