Struggling to walk, he could not make it to Partisan Square, but when the people of U\u017eice reached the Lo\u017eioni\u010dki Bridge and blocked the main road, he descended from nearby Zabu\u010dje to greet them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After greeting his fellow citizens, and receiving their greetings in return, Milosav shared what he supports and what he opposes, raising his voice and his walking stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m 89 years old, I can&#8217;t go down there, but I want to greet them and say that this turnout is too small for U\u017eice, there should be more people. I was here on October 5 [2000], and I fought for something better then. Now I am fighting against those who are selling off Serbia\u2014Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 is giving everything away for free, to the Arabs, to the Chinese, and wants our children to become servants in their own country. My children are grown, but I have grandchildren. I understand everything, and I&#8217;m not dull. Vu\u010di\u0107, along with Brnabi\u0107, that miserable figure who knows nothing but wants to judge others\u2014when I was in high school, my professor was like a god to me, a respectable person, someone I wouldn&#8217;t dare disappoint,&#8221; Milosav told <em>Nova.rs<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He blames both the authorities and citizens for the loss of respect for professors. For the negative perception of students, he holds the authorities accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They lie about everything\u2014Vu\u010di\u0107 lies. I think highly of students because they dared to take action to solve problems, and they deserve the greatest support from all of us. What I want most is for this government to fall, this misery that has befallen us. Those in power know what needs to be done, but they won&#8217;t do it because they are sellouts. They want to make this nation dumber and less educated, as such people are easier to manipulate. That is why education has been reduced to its lowest point,&#8221; said this wise man from U\u017eice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02HijpzKsLo9xhzELDJGFQE7vsk5PbtRMst5Dqg6us5gkX1fxhaYtbhKDgBg6KpXKMl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"602\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>His message to others is to fight and stand up for their beliefs. He calls on people to shed their fear and show what they think and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They hide on sidewalks, peek through windows, watch from the sidelines, afraid of something or someone. Many haven\u2019t spoken to me since October 5, 2000, when I walked the streets freely and protested while they hid. But even then, it wasn\u2019t as bad as it is now. Back then, people had dignity and honor, but today, there is none of that. Where is the president\u2019s honor when he opens his mouth to lie? What kind of president is that?&#8221; Milosav asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although he was an activist and a councilor for the Democratic Party, he admits they made mistakes, too. He believes that no one who has ever been in power should participate in it again because, in his words, they have all squandered their chances. He sees this as the only and most certain way for Serbia to undergo changes and establish a rule-of-law state where institutions do their jobs. He places his hopes in students, their professors, and the genuine intellectual elite who possess knowledge, integrity, and a clear conscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also mentioned that he and his comrades helped build the &#8220;Brotherhood and Unity&#8221; highway, something Vu\u010di\u0107 has never acknowledged, which, as Milosav said, deeply pains him. It also pains him, and he believes many citizens of Serbia feel the same, that Vu\u010di\u0107 squanders public money and claims credit for everything that is built and heavily funded, which he sees as a form of manipulative deception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/no-one-like-the-serbs-how-our-people-made-a-famous-hollywood-actors-night-at-trumps-inauguration-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cNO ONE LIKE THE SERBS\u201d: How our people made a famous Hollywood actor\u2019s night at Trump\u2019s inauguration!
