That is why the doctors decided to begin the process in the night between March 1 and 2, around one o\u2019clock after midnight. They concluded that, since I responded well even in an unconscious state to music being played, they would carry out the process in that way. My awakening began with the song \u2018Romanija\u2019 by Halid Be\u0161li\u0107, \u2018Moscow Nights,\u2019 and \u2018Prepelica\u2019 by Baja Mali Knind\u017ea.

And when I feel like crying, I sing even louder\u2014song is my destiny! I wish you all the best, wonderful people! Let\u2019s move on!\u201d, the Minister of Internal Affairs wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Da\u010di\u0107 was hospitalized on February 25 at the Pulmonology Clinic of the Clinical Center of Serbia due to bilateral pneumonia. He was on a ventilator until March 2, and on March 5 he was moved from intensive care to a ward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minister was discharged from the hospital on March 9 and sent home for further recovery.<\/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\/leaked-details-of-peace-plan-pakistanis-reveal-what-donald-trump-offered-to-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">LEAKED DETAILS OF PEACE PLAN: Pakistanis reveal what Donald Trump offered to Iran!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/provocations-on-the-anniversary-of-the-nato-aggression-albanians-ran-wild-on-the-highway-through-serbia-and-showed-symbols-of-greater-albania-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">PROVOCATIONS ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATO AGGRESSION: Albanians ran wild on the highway through Serbia and showed symbols of \u201cGreater Albania\u201d!
