Nothing less than that. Well, they are rich, they have it, they can do it,\u201d said Vu\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FIND OUT 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%2Fpfbid02iXPFZMhLWULe4thhdVuXJ724VVLtLzitp8tAGo7cxdDLGiVWjHmrr3sx5Y18AYiil&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"595\" 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><strong>11,000 MORE VEHICLES ARRIVED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding yesterday\u2019s student protest in <strong>Ni\u0161<\/strong>, he said that around 11,000 more vehicles entered the city via the highway from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. compared to the same period last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThank you for that, the people of <strong>Ni\u0161<\/strong> earned it yesterday, the Ni\u0161 cafes. Everything went peacefully, congratulations to you for that,\u201d Vu\u010di\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president again spoke about the so-called colored revolution, stating that Serbia has been attacked from the outside, comparing it to a protest by workers of the <strong>U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)<\/strong> in Washington, who painted their hands red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExactly the same as here\u2026 What do you think, was it organized from Washington, or here from Bor or Belgrade?

In normal Serbian, that means they were quiet for a while, but that silence didn\u2019t help them because the sound of that goulash was heard,\u201d said Vu\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cCOUNTER-REVOLUTION COMING\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also stated that after a \u201cfailed colored revolution,\u201d there always follows a \u201csuccessful counter-revolution,\u201d noting that it is important to separate students and pupils from those who would misuse them \u201cto return to power and destroy the protest they organized three months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vu\u010di\u0107 mentioned that he came to <strong>Bor<\/strong> to seek support for Serbia to continue developing, pursue a sovereign policy, and conduct its foreign policy, adding that they \u201ccalled him crazy\u201d when he was the only president in Europe three years ago who did not want to impose sanctions on Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday, it seems I wasn\u2019t such a fool, it just took enduring three years of external pressure and three years of internal pressure,\u201d Vu\u010di\u0107 assessed.<\/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\/we-love-serbia-we-want-to-stay-in-it-a-large-number-of-students-from-kosovo-and-metohija-headed-to-nis-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cWE LOVE SERBIA, WE WANT TO STAY IN IT\u201d: A large number of students from Kosovo and Metohija headed to Ni\u0161!
