Vučić: There will be no more impunity for blocking, we had a bigger rally than theirs, new government by the holidays

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated today that there will no longer be impunity for blocking the City Transport Company (GSP), train stations and everything else, adding that "there is no great philosophy here."

"We will not give up on the demands presented last night at the rally in Belgrade. These are demands that are in line with the Constitution and that is an obligation, it's just that someone suspended the Constitution, and it wasn't the people in power, but those who tried to hijack the state and institutions, they literally hijacked the state," Vučić said in an address from the Presidency.

Speaking about the rally in Belgrade, he said that it was "a significantly larger rally than the one they said was the largest (from the opposition) and we are ready to prove that with pictures and numbers."

"Our people did not walk, but stood, and then you cover five times less space, and they covered a larger area," said Vučić, stating that there were "mostly Belgraders."

When asked about yesterday's rally in Novi Pazar organized by student blockaders, he said that he was "not impressed, there were a maximum of 4.320 people, of which 2.875 were from abroad, that's all known in numbers."

He added that he had attended much larger gatherings in that city and that he would soon visit Novi Pazar himself, and that the gathering was disturbed by messages "regarding special status, autonomy (of Sandžak) and Naser Orić", and that relations between Serbs and Bosniaks must be worked on and that they must be "the best possible".

Vučić also believes that the new Serbian government will be presented next week, around the Easter or May Day holidays.

He read on television today the letters that citizens left for him during the "We Will Not Give Up Serbia" rally and stated that they had signed and left several thousand application forms yesterday, and that more than 120.000 people from the interior came to the rally.

"Three estimates, two from the security services and one from the party, differ in the estimate of about 1.000 people. There are things that have been documented on video, every vehicle that entered Belgrade, except perhaps from Mladenovac, Lazarevac. So between 126.735 and 128.080 people entered the city from outside Belgrade. That is, without Belgrade, and the majority of people at the rally were certainly from Belgrade... Of course, they were not all there at the same moment," Vučić said.

He added that "you can't take away the sense of pride that the people who attended the rally felt, that they showed that they don't have to collapse, that they don't have to block," but that "those who have the task of destroying Serbia" will continue to do so.
