Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić today announced that he will absolve a 25-year-old woman suspected of attempted murder, after she hit a student with her car in January during a traffic blockade in New Belgrade.
In a phone call to Informer television, Vučić stated that he would pardon the young woman if she, or her family, agrees to it.
“She didn’t deserve any of this, and for me, it’s terrible that as a president who, until a few weeks ago, hadn’t issued a single pardon in nine years, I now have to correct the injustice inflicted by prosecutor’s offices and courts. I will continue to do so because the injustice is so obvious that I will have to protect the weak, the persecuted, and the victims of their daily attacks,” the president said.
He assessed that “some” holders of judicial functions in Serbia have “introduced injustice and wrong as the highest principles.”

Condemnation of Protests
Commenting on last night’s protest rally by citizens and students blocking the street where Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) leader Miloš Vučević’s apartment is located in Novi Sad, Vučić said that it was “raising the bar for dangerous foolishness,” behind which, in his words, stand “wicked loafers.”
“I was shocked because I saw some people publicly boasting about doing it. The attack was premeditated, organized. Miloš was in that apartment, he lives there with his family,” the president said.
When asked about the announced gathering of citizens tonight in a Novi Sad street where Mayor Žarko Mićin resides, Vučić assessed that this shows that “the loafers were never interested in truth or institutions.”
“It’s clear that he has nothing to do with the canopy (at the Railway Station). The only thing they were really always interested in was power at all costs,” Vučić said.
He warned that violence would not be permitted.
“Just let me see something happen to Žarko Mićin’s daughters!” Vučić warned.
