He refused, and then chaos literally erupted. Everyone stood up and demanded the session continue, and the chairman finally agreed,&#8221; Stankovi\u0107 says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that during his presentation, he emphasized that free elections are necessary for change and that citizens in Serbia are fighting for this both on the street and in institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DPQrq1qDL_s\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

We do not have that, because wherever elections have been held in recent years, the ruling party has sent thugs and influenced the election results. That is why it is important for you to know everything that is happening in Serbia,&#8221; Stankovi\u0107 said during the autumn session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0110or\u0111e Stankovi\u0107, Vice President of the People&#8217;s Movement of Serbia and Member of Parliament, also said that in the middle of the European continent, police torture, the formation of para-police forces, the brutal beating of students, and threats of rape are occurring in the building of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, as well as threats to kill a student on a live television program by a spokesperson for the ruling party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;They do all of this without a shred of feeling for responsibility because Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 is the one who gives them the right to do so. Due to the lack of accountability and corruption, for which no one has been held responsible and which killed 16 people in Novi Sad, citizen and student protests in Serbia have been ongoing for the past 11 months, and instead of indictments and elections, we have increasing repression,&#8221; Stankovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biljana Panti\u0107 Pilja accused students in Serbia of violence, attacks on the police, and the constitutional order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the debate, representatives of various parliamentary delegations from the member states of the Council of Europe had the opportunity to express their views on the respect for democratic standards and the rule of law in Serbia, the right to freedom of assembly and peaceful protest, the neutrality of institutions (judiciary, police), and the unimpeded work of the media, the role of civil society, independent institutions, and the opposition in political dialogue, as well as the mechanisms of supervision and recommendations that the Council of Europe can apply to stabilize the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sound cannon attack in Belgrade, threats of rape against student Nikolina Sin\u0111eli\u0107, as well as the violent political detention of students and opposition activists were also mentioned.<\/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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/at-the-latest-possible-date-ana-brnabic-called-local-elections-in-negotin-and-mionica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cAT THE LATEST POSSIBLE DATE\u201d: Ana Brnabi\u0107 called local elections in Negotin and Mionica!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/pickpockets-are-rampaging-through-kalemegdan-citizens-and-tourists-are-the-targets-and-here-is-the-riskiest-spot-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">PICKPOCKETS ARE RAMPAGING THROUGH KALEMEGDAN: Citizens and tourists are the targets, and here is the riskiest spot!
