“The last night’s incursion of the leaders of Alliance for Serbia (SZS) and ‘1 in 5 million’ movement into the RTS building, their attempt at a violent occupation of the Public Broadcasting Service and attack on its journalists and employees have revealed the undemocratic nature and violent plans of the self-proclaimed opposition leaders”, Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović has stated today.
“Violence as a substitute for arguments and unpreparedness for a democratic match has shown true intentions of this group of the so-called leaders of the opposition that is ideologically divided, but on the other hand, clearly united in the fact that they do not understand and want for a democratic and respectably empowered Serbia, that they are ready to undermine fundamental democratic values and international position of Serbia in this sensitive moment for their individual interests”, stressed Joksimović. “This is happening after a decade-long destruction of Serbia in which the opposition leaders actively participated”, noted the Minister adding that Serbia, with President Vučić at the forefront, has begun to take shape of a serious country that is economically stabilising, advancing in its reforms, that is producing stability at the internal and international level, and that today is a respectable, actively cooperative and responsible European country. “Those who have decided to bring chaos, unrest and undemocratic violence against institutions and citizens, at a time of a heightened need for stability and united inner strength of our country to respond to the challenges placed before Serbia, have revealed their role”, emphasised Joksimović.
“I am convinced that the majority of Serbian citizens, having experience from the past, maturely appreciate and particularly expect from the political elite to provide peace, prosperity and a better European future for Serbia. I expect that competent authorities will act in accordance with their powers and protect the democratic values in our country”, concluded Minister Joksimović.
