The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, announced the same evening, who announced from the hotel in Niš that he would soon to come to that city to deal with the "beaters" in person.
A day later, Vučić said that he "didn't sleep" after the events in Niš, and that he believes that he is guilty because the police did not react more harshly in the numerous protests that have taken place in Serbia in recent months.
"Competent state authorities will be able to protect citizens more harshly. Either there will be a harsher response from all state authorities, or we will see which state authorities do not want to apply the law, we can no longer allow bullying," said Vučić.
He said in a conversation with citizens in Leskovac, in the south of Serbia, during a visit to the Toplički and Jablanički districts that "those policemen who do not want to protect order and the law will be changed, the prosecutors who do not want to protect it will be changed."
Students are collecting funds for extraordinary elections with the "Buna Park" action, and citizens are protesting in front of the REC building. During that time, Chetnik songs are played from Pionirski Park
Students in the blockade of the ETF will distribute a pamphlet at public gatherings in Serbia for all "those who listen but don't see, look but don't hear", at the same time calling for a protest on June 28
In Belgrade, the first protest began in front of the Faculty of Law, and the second was announced for 18.30:XNUMX p.m. in front of the RIK building because "The circus must stop", at the same time as "Preparation for Vidovdan" in Sremski Karlovci.
According to the recipe before every big protest organized by students, the regime media and their guests before Vidovdan launched a new campaign of intimidation of citizens
The President of Serbia is proposing amendments to the Constitution that would protect citizens from forced eviction from their own homes during enforcement proceedings
Can the students and the opposition make up for 51 votes in the repeated elections at polling station number 25 in Kosjerić? Is it an impossible mission or another attempt that changes everything
The Serbian Government elected the commander of the "White Eagles", Dragoslav Bokan, as the president of the Board of Directors of the National Theater. Why not read "Aco Serbs" instead of "Your hands are bloody"?
What will Vučić do when his second presidential term expires in 2027. The Constitution does not provide for a third. Maybe he won't go into political retirement
