The Serbian lawyer, Cedomir Stojkovic, reacted after the violence that the Serbian police used against the protesters who were opposing the December 17 elections in Serbia. According to him, it is the right of the people to be freed. Whereas, he called on the international community to urgently isolate the regime of the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, reports KosovaPress.
Through a reaction in X, Stojkovic called the leadership in Serbia as Russian, saying that “the Russian government in Serbia, the Russian president in Serbia, the Russian intelligence service in Serbia must feel the anger of the people, which will grow!”
“Good for the demonstrators in Belgrade tonight! It is the right of the people to be freed!… It is the right of the people to be freed by violence if their voice is stolen! So it has always been and so it will be forever! And there should be no exception! The international community should urgently isolate the regime of the Republic of Serbia from interfering in the democratic processes in Belgrade and from sending its reckless representatives and executioners to help the regime in Belgrade”, wrote Stojkoviq.
Otherwise, during last night’s protest, the door of the Serbian Parliament was broken and the police threw tear gas at the protesters, who continued their demonstration for the seventh time, which was called by the opposition.
Representatives of the opposition list “Serbia against violence” tried to enter the Assembly, in order to address the citizens from the balcony of the building.
They pushed the door, but could not get in, as they were stopped by the police. A part of the protesters broke the windows and the doors of the building, while the police responded with tear gas.
After the incidents, through an address to the public from the Presidency of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, said to the Serbian citizens not to worry.
“No revolution is underway, and we are trying not to hurt any of the demonstrators through a light reaction”, he said, although the released videos show that violence was used against the protesters.
We recall that the OSCE monitoring mission said that the December 17 elections in Serbia were characterized by serious irregularities, misuse of state funds and the spread of fear. The MEPs have demanded an independent investigation into the irregularities in the elections. The US has also called on Serbian authorities to investigate allegations of irregularities.
