Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated today that the state will choose the moment when it will respond to violence, as he called the blockades.
“The moment we can no longer tolerate violence will be the end,” Vučić told reporters in Čačak during a tour of the construction site of the “Miloš Veliki” highway section from Preljina to Požega.
Vučić said that the blockades are violence and that every blockade is “pure bullying.”
It is important for people to see that and to condemn it more and more every day, Vučić said.
They destroyed our country in six months, Vučić said about the student protests, which began in November last year, regarding the collapse of the canopy at the Railway Station in Novi Sad, where 16 people died.
Vučić stated that so far no one has submitted a request to him for the calling of early elections, although some students in blockade and the opposition have made such proposals.
He said that since the beginning of the blockades and protests, six months ago, students have not asked him for anything because he is the “incompetent relevant institution.”
“I begged them to talk five or six months ago, and they say they don’t talk to the incompetent relevant institution. Maybe someone will call elections for them, maybe I will call them, you never know. But they don’t talk to me and they don’t ask and haven’t asked for anything. I am also sure that they won’t ask, because how can they spit in their own faces? It will then turn out that they have been lying for six months that I am an incompetent relevant institution, and then they would come to it to beg and ask for something,” the President said.

He added that students have never acted like “fickle people who have no ideas and ideals.”
“I believe in their ideals, from the beginning I was sure that it only concerned student demands,” Vučić said.
He also said that he feels like a “free man” in every place in Serbia and that he will visit each of the 17 cities where local citizens’ assemblies declared him persona non grata.
Previously, retired professor of the University of Belgrade Vladeta Janković said that Vučić’s popularity had “drastically fallen” since the beginning of the student protests and assessed that it was “terrible data that 17 cities in Serbia declared their head of state persona non grata.”
“I am a free man in every place on the planet. I feel free in every place in Serbia. And the fact that 20 people gather and say that I am this and that, it’s stupid and it speaks about them… That’s not done by people who are sure of themselves, but out of their arrogance and insolence. I will go to every one of those cities for promotions of the movement, the first will be Niš and I can hardly wait and I am looking forward to it,” Vučić said.
The President assessed that the next two weeks will be crucial for Serbia on the international stage because during that period he will meet with key politicians from several countries, including probably US President Donald Trump.
“I will have a meeting with very important officials, I believe also with Trump, but I don’t have confirmation yet. We have visits from several European officials – from Marta Kos, Kaja Kallas, António Costa… And all that in the next 15 days. As well as a visit to Moscow,” Vučić told reporters after touring the construction site of the “Miloš Veliki” highway section, from Preljina to Požega.
