The government is intensifying repressive measures against teachers, professors and the rebellious part of the people. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is now announcing popular resistance to popular resistance
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić seems to have decided to turn his supporters against citizens who rebelled against the usurpation of state institutions by the Serbian Progressive Party, which he leads, and general lawlessness in the country. Education has been blocked for months, student protests encourage an increasing number of citizens to oppose lawlessness, SNS can almost no longer convene a session of a local assembly without the Gendarmerie having to intervene against angry citizens and opposition councilors, civil assemblies are organized following the example of student plenums. In the state of usurped state institutions, an extra-institutional political network is created.
Serbia's radio and television is slowly being wrested from party control, the truth is also penetrating the progressive electorate, the largest protest in the history of Serbia in Belgrade on March 15 was the last warning for the autocratic government not to write anything good about it.
The president of the country has apparently decided to try to extinguish the fire of resistance before it is too late. Educators are being broken by the illegal withholding of salaries, the same is happening to university professors, citizens who testify to the use of a sound cannon in Kralja Milan Street during the protest in Belgrade are threatened with prison terms for causing panic.
"People's resistance, rebellion and dissatisfaction with the terror to which people have been exposed in the last four months is growing and soon there will be a call for people, for people all over Serbia, to fight for their country, to fight for their Serbia, by peaceful, democratic means, not violence, not the way some others have done it," said Vučić in a video address via Instagram from the municipal committee of the Progressive Serbian Party in Zemun, as reported by RTS.
Vučić also claims that "they received information that they were going to prevent them from peacefully protesting against their terror."
"People in Serbia are no longer afraid of anyone or anything, neither blockaders, nor political terrorists who throw tear gas in the parliament, nor anyone else," said Vučić on Instagram to the account "avucic".
He added that "Serbia is rising", stressing that "anyone can fall, but Serbia's strength lies in the fact that it always stands up with incredible speed, stands up and fights for its future".
Like everything else he does, Vučić's activist call for one part of the people to oppose another part of the people on the streets is unbecoming of the President of the Republic.
The method is recognizable and ancient - divide and conquer. Just as the government divided educators, or created counter-students (cacia), now for the sake of saving its own power, Vučić is attacking one part of the people against another.
In order not to show that he is still the most beloved man in Serbia, he announced in response to the large student and Gerađa protest on March 15 that March 28 would be "the biggest protest in the history of Serbia." In recent days, however, he has not mentioned him.

"The bastards and rascals of 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. Attacks on them will not be allowed," says the President of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić
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
