The "United for a Free Novi Sad" coalition accused activists of the Serbian Progressive Party for the attack that took place today in Novi Sad. Activist Miran Pogačar tells "Vreme" that the hooligans have been filmed and that he believes they will be found
The United Novi Sad opposition "United for a Free Novi Sad", which consists of 12 parties and movements, today accused the activists of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) of "attacking the opposition activists with knives" and destroying their advertising balloon.
The coalition announced that eight hooligans participated in the attack who "took out knives and roughly pushed two activists away, holding them, while the others pierced the balloon with knives."
In the statement, they also state that the attackers fled in two black cars with tinted windows. Activist Miran Pogačar tells "Vreme" that, being on the spot, he managed to film the entire incident and the activists leaving, as well as their license plates.
"They are standard characters in a standard story." This incident is another way in which they imagine politics to be conducted, while we try to propose concrete solutions and to approach politics in a decent and nice way, until then, they deal with physical force and send beaters. This is the second such attack. I filmed them, I also filmed them leaving and recorded the license plates, so that the perpetrators will be found. I assume that these are persons who are already known to the police," points out Pogačar.

Second attack in two days
The case was reported to the police and a criminal complaint was filed for violent behavior and destruction of other people's property of greater value.
"I think the reaction of the authorities is precisely that they sent these thugs." There is obviously a huge fear and willingness to do everything to keep Novi Sad in their hands. Novi Sad is ready to be the first free city in Serbia and I think that all eyes are on Novi Sad. We will fight for every vote these days and on the election day itself to prevent election theft and all the tricks that will surely happen," emphasizes Pogačar and concludes that "the most important thing is for people to go to the polls on Sunday."
This is the second time that unknown perpetrators have destroyed the advertising balloon of the opposition coalition. The first balloon that was placed near TC Promenade was destroyed on Thursday.
The members of the ruling coalition in Novi Sad have not announced anything about this incident.
An employee of a Serbian state-owned company of specialized industry was allegedly killed on the street in Moscow a month ago. The Serbian services have not received any information from the Russians so far
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, announced that he will personally file criminal charges against all those who participated "in the pursuit to destroy" the investment in the General Staff. He pointed out that the Serbs are masters of "missed opportunities" and mentioned the neighbor and the cow's croaking
Speaking about Ćaciland, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said that he would personally try to ask the crowd to withdraw and clear the road, noting that he was not sure whether his appeal would be accepted.
The lex specialis remains in force, which means that nothing prevents the regime from finding another investor instead of Jared Kushner and overthrowing the General Staff. Will the lex specialis for the General Staff serve as well as the Lex Tenis, which provided selected investors with lucrative leases of agricultural land
Retired prosecutor Bojana Paunović, in an interview for "Vreme", explains what legal steps the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office should take after the video of Pavlo Bihali became public, in which he stated that it was more acceptable for him "to be a carer than to end up in prison".
The citizens of Serbia are faced with a choice: either Vučić or the European Union. Everything else is empty talk
None of us have the right to give up our freedom. It is unacceptable to lose heart. Leaving the last line of defense is unacceptable. Because the barbarian attack on prosecutors and judges is their last attack. Beyond that is the abyss
You should not touch Ćaciland before the holidays. Since there will be no New Year celebrations on the streets in Belgrade, it should be left as an attraction for foreign tourists
