Mili\u0107 explained to RTL that she did so due to the lack of reaction from SNV representatives to the statements in a letter from the first prize winner.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The reaction of the SNV leader to that letter, which says that we are grateful and hope that young people in Serbia will teach us how to fly, was for me a direct association with the student blockades currently happening in Serbia. The way SNV reacted simply didn&#8217;t sit well with me,&#8221; Mili\u0107 said, as reported by Jutarnji list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You have to understand that I recently, a few days ago, wrote on my Facebook that I support when young people stand in squares, don&#8217;t block institutions, and when they seek concrete justice for injustice. But beyond that &#8211; blockades, calling my country a tyranny, calling my president and the state leadership murderers and the like, I simply and absolutely do not support that,&#8221; the ambassador explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Serbian National Council (SNV) organized a traditional festive reception on Monday to celebrate Christmas according to the Julian calendar, with messages of peace, tolerance, and mutual respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president of the SNV, Milorad Pupovac, congratulated everyone on the New Year, wishing for &#8220;a year of peace where there is no peace, and where there is still peace, that it not be disturbed but preserved.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FIND OUT MORE IN SERBIAN:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\t<figure class='wp-block-newspack-blocks-iframe'>\n\t\t<div class='wp-block-embed__wrapper' style=\"height:600px; width:100%;\">\n\t\t\t<iframe\n\t\t\t\tid = 'newspack-iframe-KhxgflkCy79e'\n\t\t\t\tlayout = 'responsive'\n\t\t\t\theight = '100'\n\t\t\t\twidth = '100'\n\t\t\t\tsrc = 'https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02zpMD5M135bra4ERAxTSwjMkxVH7EDiDcHaai6GLvauRYDu79MDUZaYsUxuxqUhSHl'\n\t\t\t\tstyle = 'height: 600px; width: 100%;'\n\t\t\t\tframeborder = '0'\n\t\t\t\tallowfullscreen\n\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/figure>\n\n\t<script>\n\t\tconst iframe = document.getElementById(\"newspack-iframe-KhxgflkCy79e\");\n\t\tconst timerId = setInterval( function() {\n\t\t\t\tiframe.src = iframe.src;\n\t\t\t}, 2000 );\n\n\t\tiframe.onload = function() {\n\t\t\tclearInterval(timerId);\n\t\t}\n\n\t<\/script>\n\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reception brought together guests from social and political life, including Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 and ministers Gordan Grli\u0107 Radman, Nina Obuljen Kor\u017einek, and Damir Habijan.
