Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated today that he supports the student demand to verify the origin of the property of all participants in political life, but that he believes the lustration proposal is undemocratic.
"One request is excellent and I accept it in full - and that is to implement the Law on the Origin of Property. To see what I have and what they have, and to show citizens what has changed in recent years," Vučić told journalists from Serbia who are following him in Davos at the World Economic Forum.
He said that he proposed that the assets be examined for "all 250 blockers on the list."
"But the cat immediately ate the tongue. Because there are many thieves there," said Vučić, although the student electoral list has not yet been published, nor is it known in what format the parliamentary opposition will participate in the next elections.
Vučić said that the proposal to implement lustration is undemocratic.
"When you can't beat someone, you forbid them from competing... It simply doesn't make sense, especially if that's their plan and program at a time when the entire world is in turmoil and a new order is being created in which the sovereignty of small countries will be denied and in which pressure will be exerted to make everyone belong to one, the other or the third bloc," he said.
