Declaration on Vojvodina adopted in Serbia, Vučić spoke about his alleged fight against the color revolution

The Declaration on Vojvodina in Serbia was adopted tonight by popular acclamation, at the invitation of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, at a gathering to celebrate Serbian Statehood Day in Sremska Mitrovica.

"We also have our own plenums, much larger than all their plenums combined," Vučić said in his address.

Vučić previously said that, after adopting the Declaration at the rally, he would discuss its text with his coalition partner, the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians, and then forward it to the Serbian Parliament for adoption.

The text of the Declaration was published earlier, and it states: "The latest events in the northern Serbian province, the revival of separatist ideas and movements, the public advocacy of ideas about the 'Vojvodina nation', language and Orthodox Church, and the announcement of the adoption of some kind of 'Vojvodina platform', oblige us to actively work in the social and political spheres to protect the territorial integrity and unity of the Serbian state."

"Vojvodina is not just a part of Serbia, Vojvodina is Serbia. Vojvodina is a name, and Serbia is a surname. Just as there is no Serbia without Vojvodina, so too cannot Vojvodina exist outside of Serbia," the declaration, published as a special supplement by the newspaper Politika, stated.

The declaration stated that "Vojvodina is an expression of European values, a community of all citizens living on the territory of the autonomous province, as well as an inseparable part of the national, political, constitutional and cultural identity of modern Serbia" and that "these spiritual verticals do not cancel each other out, but rather complement each other."

The text assessed that "the promotion of other particularist, autonomist, and even separatist and anti-Serbian content represents the ultimate perversion and, consequently, the complete negation of the great ideals on which Vojvodina was founded."

"The renaissance that has been occurring in relations between Serbs and Hungarians in the last ten years is the best proof that the autonomous-statist model of Vojvodina's organization not only did not contribute to interethnic harmony, but that its rejection was a necessary prerequisite for improving understanding, harmony and cooperation between national communities in the province," the declaration states, which begins with "the historical presence of the Serbian people in the area of ​​Pannonia."

Vučić, however, spent most of tonight's rally talking about his alleged fight against the color revolution, repeating that as long as he is alive, he will not allow "them to destroy Serbia" and that he will fight with all his might for Serbia, for Kosovo and Metohija and Vojvodina, which he said, "not in Serbia, because Vojvodina is Serbia."

"I will fight in a way you have never seen before, in a way our opponents cannot even dream of... Now we are striking back politically against those servants of those who wanted to carry out a colored revolution," Vučić said.

Vučić repeated several times during tonight's rally that the "color revolution failed" and that Serbia won.

"Their color revolution has failed, tell them at USAID and NED, tell them everywhere. It's over. Tell them that Serbia won and that they will never defeat Serbia," Vučić said.

According to him, it will take a few more weeks for "them to realize that their color revolution has failed."

"When they realize that, it will take us months, I'm afraid even a year, to recover and rebuild the country from the disaster and damage they have caused to the country. And we will succeed in that," Vučić said.

He told those who, as he claims, tried to organize a color revolution in Serbia, "that he will destroy them all over the world," stating that his textbook on how he defeated the color revolution "will be the most widely read bestseller in the whole world," and that it will be printed in tens of millions of copies.

"Now I know you to the core, I know what kind of fraudsters you are. I know when you say you are helping the country, and when you invest every dollar and euro in destroying that country. I have taught you all the tricks. You will never destroy Serbia again, but I will also help everyone else to successfully defend themselves from your colored revolutions," Vučić said.

The goal of this colored revolution, according to him, is not to overthrow the government, but to overthrow Serbia because "they want Serbia not to be economically advanced, to be weak in the region, to be unable and not allowed to help RS (Republika Srpska) and Serbia, which is on its knees and apologizing for the crimes committed against its people."

Vučić also assessed that there are three reasons why an attempted color revolution is underway, citing the reasons being that Serbia did not agree to capitulate on the issue of Kosovo and Metohija, an attempt to reduce Serbia's economic strength, and the weakening of Serbia through the secession of Vojvodina.

"The goal is to make Serbia powerless, weaker than everyone else. They have always strengthened everything around us, while weakening Serbia... You don't think that the point of all the money they gave, all those three billion for mine, primarily for the destruction of Serbia, is for someone else to come in instead of Vučić? No, the goal is to destroy Serbia, and they are now openly telling you that," Vučić said.

He assessed that all of this caused irreparable economic and political damage to Serbia, stating that the country "has never had a worse January or February."

"I would cry from the pain of what they have done to the country, we have no investments, we have nothing, because of the irresponsibility of those who play to the tune of those who want to make a color revolution in Serbia," said Vučić.

He stated that, by reading "textbooks about color revolutions in the world," he understood where the anger and rage of some people came from, adding that the task of the government is to reach out to them and try to talk to them, no matter how much they do not want dialogue.

"Not because we are weak, but because we are part of the same people, the same country, and because we have to live together in the same country. I am sure that they love Serbia as much as we do, Serbia is not only loved by those who organized it," he said.

He urged the students on the blockade to think about their future, adding that so far they have successfully avoided the trap of being together with "the worst politicians in the country."

"Listen to your president, declare victory, you have received all your demands, and return to school. Then you will do the most for yourself and your families," he said.

In his speech, Vučić also addressed his party's officials, claiming that they need to change and listen to the people, not ride in limousines with rotations.

"The people will not tolerate this any longer, you have to understand that and that is why we have to change," he said.

He added that the people also want new faces, which is why an initiative committee for a large movement will be formed on March 15th, which will finally be formed on Vidovdan.

Speaking about the election of the new Government, following the resignation of Prime Minister Miloš Vučević, he said that it will not be the kind desired by "those who want to carry out a colored revolution", and that it will not be a transitional Government.

"There will be at least 50 percent new ministers, but also directors and all other managers in depth, because we need changes," Vučić said.

Also speaking at the event were Marina Stanišić, a student from Sremska Mitrovica, Dr. Dalibor Stojanović, the president of the Democratic People's Party Milan Knežević, and the president of the Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik.

On the plateau in front of the "Pinki" Sports and Business Center, along with the highest state officials, there were several thousand citizens and supporters of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) who carried a large number of Serbian flags and banners with messages of support for Vučić, and also lit torches.

Vučić himself stated earlier today, while traveling by train to Sremska Mitrovica, that around 1.800 buses from all over Serbia were coming to the city, as well as 800-900 citizens of Republika Srpska, stating that he expected more than 120.000 people to attend the rally.

The name of the rally in Sremska Mitrovica, to which Vučić invited citizens, is "Let's Meet at Sretenje", while a student and civic protest rally called "Let's Meet at Sretenje" was previously called in Kragujevac from this morning until after midnight.
