Dijana Hrka, the mother of Stefan Hrka, who died in a collapsed canopy at the Novi Sad train station, told Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić today that, if he is ready, he should come to where the hunger strikers are and talk to her in front of everyone.
As she stated, she does not think about what Vučić's motive was for inviting her after a year, N1 reported.
"Let him think about it, he is the president, he interferes in everything. If Mr. President is ready to talk and if he thinks he wants to talk, he will come here to talk in front of all the people, in front of all the media. If he is afraid of being chanted, that is his problem, not mine. He gathered the people he pays and continues to pay them here. These are mafia members, these are criminals. He is also hurt, am I not hurt?" said Hrka.
She also stated that she would ask the President of Serbia "why he is afraid of his own people, and not afraid to go out among the prisoners."
She also pointed out that Vučić did not invite her directly, but through the media, "and again - his media."
"He said one sentence that made my ears ring. I don't have a college education, but I can see what he's looking for and what he said. I can assess it. He said 'she insulted me, but I'll forgive her'! I ask the president - he's been insulting all of us for a year, he threatened to destroy us all over the world, should I forgive him for what he said about Saturday - 'there's a game being played', for riding the train and saying he misses Toma and Vesić - what should I say to that. Should I be offended or him? I won't forgive him," said Hrka, reported N 1.
Dijana Hrka has been on a hunger strike for the eighth day near the Serbian Parliament, staying in a tent on the street and sleeping on pallets, because she was initially not allowed to approach the House of the National Assembly, where she had intended to stay, when she began the strike. The area in front of the House of the National Assembly is secured by police, and supporters of the Serbian Progressive Party have been gathering on the plateau for days.
