Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced today that he will drop further criminal charges against a 25-year-old woman suspected of attempted murder after she ran over a female student with her car during a traffic jam in New Belgrade in January.
Vučić said in a telephone interview with Informer television that he would pardon the girl if she, or her family, agreed to it.
"She did not deserve this in any way, and it is terrible for me that as a president who, until a few weeks ago, had not issued a single pardon in nine years, I now have to correct the injustice inflicted by prosecutors and courts. I will continue to do so because it is so obviously an injustice that I will have to protect the weak, the persecuted, and the victims of their daily attacks," Vučić said.
He assessed that "certain" holders of judicial positions in Serbia "have introduced injustice and wrongdoing as the highest principles."
Commenting on last night's protest rally of citizens and students blocking the street where the apartment of Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) leader Miloš Vučević is located in Novi Sad, Vučić said that it was "raising the bar of dangerous stupidity" and that, in his words, "evil losers" were behind it.
"I was shocked because I saw that some people were publicly bragging about doing this. The attack was planned, organized. Miloš was in that apartment, he lives there with his family," Vučić said.
Asked about the announcement of tonight's citizens' gathering on the street in Novi Sad where Mayor Žarko Mićin lives, Vučić said that it shows that "the lost have never been interested in the truth or institutions."
"It is clear that he has nothing to do with the canopy (at the Railway Station). The only thing they were ever really interested in was power at all costs," Vučić said.
He warned that violence would not be allowed.
"I just want to see if something happened to Žarko Mićin's daughters!", Vučić warned.
