The President of the Socialist Party and Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Serbia, Aleksandar Vulin, assessed today that Serbia needs a Law on a Special Register of Agents of Foreign Influence, the proposal of which was submitted by the MPs of his party to the Serbian Parliament.
"Why is it a problem to know where you (non-governmental organizations - NGOs) get your money from, who you got the money from, how you spend it and what you spend it for," Vulin asked during a guest appearance on B92 television.
According to him, NGOs are "the main lever of every colored revolution", and they are financed "always from abroad", receiving money for various projects.
"They count birds in parks, make strategic analyzes and studies of future events in the Balkans, Mars, wherever they arrive, but in fact they only serve to collect money, and then distribute that money among those who will carry out certain tasks, put pressure on the bearers authorities and changed public opinion," believes Vulin.
He added that from that story he singles out NGOs that deal with children, vulnerable groups and that "really deal with ecology", stating that the sense of an organization can be seen and how money is spent if, for example, they open a residence for children with special needs.
"And when an organization called the 'Center for Strategic Studies of the Security Situation and Euro-Atlantic Integration' has millions of euros, which it spends on some kind of consulting. And look at the miracles, suddenly it has a lot of paid volunteers, and you find all these volunteers at demonstrations and rallies , and all of a sudden they print some posters that they pay with the money that was actually earmarked for finch ringing," said Vulin.
He assessed that this shows what NGOs are for, stating that they are independent only from the Government of Serbia, but that they are "dependent on other governments that give them money", stating that there are many people in Serbia who say that there was genocide in Srebrenica and that Kosovo is a state, while there is no one in Pristina that says that Kosovo is Serbia.
Responding to the assessment of the president of the Democratic Party, Zoran Lutovac, that the proposal for that law deepens the basis for the persecution of dissidents, and that its adoption would be a prelude to the escalation of repression from violence, which is why its adoption must not be allowed, Vulin asked how exactly the opposition will stop it.
"Will they set fire to the Assembly? What else is left, will they blow vuvuzelas or whistles a little more? I don't know what they will blow to stop the law," said Vulin.
