However, yesterday, President Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 once again invited representatives of the student movement to a dialogue, even though he considers them terrorists with whom there are no negotiations.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the very beginning of the student protests, specifically on December 21 of last year, when students came in front of the Presidency where the President of the Republic was holding a press conference, he said one, now already an anthology-worthy sentence, writes Danas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Should I go out and insult them, should I go out and fight, should I bring out the &#8216;Cobras&#8217; to scatter them all, it wouldn&#8217;t take six or seven seconds.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday, August 13 of this year, the Cobras clashed with citizens in Novi Sad, but they did not scatter anyone; instead, members of this unit, by sheer luck, only sustained minor injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last three and a half months, the President of Serbia has been &#8220;treating&#8221; students and citizens to various names, while categorically refusing demands for snap elections and any kind of dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it even realistic for those whom Vu\u010di\u0107 accused of being destroyers of the state, called foreign mercenaries, thugs carrying out a &#8220;color revolution,&#8221; to now sit with him at the same table and talk about anything?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it possible for the same table to include a female student whose jaw was broken by four SNS activists in Novi Sad, whom Vu\u010di\u0107 personally pardoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Freedom to the heroes! Nikola Blagojevi\u0107, Danilo Rai\u010devi\u0107, Stefan Kojovi\u0107, Nemanja Despotovi\u0107. Prison to the blockader terrorists,&#8221; Vu\u010di\u0107 wrote on his Instagram profile on May 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before this post, at an SNS rally in Ni\u0161 on May 17, Vu\u010di\u0107 told the students that he &#8220;doesn&#8217;t care about their elections&#8221; and that it&#8217;s &#8220;a done deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the Vidovdan protest, at which students gave Vu\u010di\u0107 an ultimatum to call elections, he replied: &#8220;The Serbian state has been faced with ultimatums from foreign great powers many times. This time, too, foreign powers have sent us an ultimatum through domestic puppets. The Serbian state&#8217;s answer has always been the same. Serbia is not a handful of millet for you to peck at. The ultimatum was not accepted, you don&#8217;t have to wait until tomorrow at 9 PM.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day after the Vidovdan protest, Vu\u010di\u0107 said that unspecified &#8220;foreign powers&#8221; were behind the protest and that the police should be restrained, but he warned that violence would not be tolerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The state will be defended, and the thugs will face justice,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just five days ago, after a series of demonstrations organized by students, which led to conflicts with activists of that party, as well as with the police, the president announced a decisive state reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a matter of days until someone gets killed\u2026 Who they&#8217;ve decided to kill tonight\u2026 I&#8217;m just afraid someone will get killed\u2026 There&#8217;s nothing left for them but to start killing people.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He then announced &#8220;the final response of the state.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;For the next 3-4 days, it will seem to you that we, as a state, have stepped aside and withdrawn\u2026 Six, seven days\u2026 At one point, you will see all of Serbia&#8217;s resolve; we will use everything at our disposal.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, last night he once again invited them to a dialogue, even though his proposal from the day before yesterday was rejected by everyone.<\/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\/column-kovacevic-who-forced-vucic-to-invite-students-to-negotiations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">COLUMN, KOVA\u010cEVI\u0106: Who Forced Vu\u010di\u0107 to Invite Students to Negotiations?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/an-american-married-a-serbian-woman-and-moved-to-belgrade-i-found-happiness-and-family-support-here-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">AN AMERICAN MARRIED A SERBIAN WOMAN AND MOVED TO BELGRADE: \u201cI found happiness and family support here!\u201d (VIDEO)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbian-director-triumphed-in-sarajevo-i-dedicate-this-award-to-all-the-mothers-of-students-in-serbia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SERBIAN DIRECTOR TRIUMPHED IN SARAJEVO: \u201cI dedicate this award to all the mothers of students in Serbia!\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/forbes-published-the-annual-list-of-the-highest-paid-tennis-players-dokovic-is-the-only-veteran-among-the-young-ones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">FORBES PUBLISHED THE ANNUAL LIST OF THE HIGHEST-PAID TENNIS PLAYERS: \u0110okovi\u0107 is the only veteran among the young ones!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0<\/strong>Nova,\u00a0<strong>Photo:<\/strong>ATA Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are no negotiations with terrorists and those who wanted to destroy the state, it was written on the official X account of the Serbian Progressive Party on July 9.
