Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said today that, according to information he has received, the body of Ratko Mladić has been taken over in The Hague and that it should arrive in Serbia in the late afternoon.
"As far as I know, the body has been taken over and should arrive in Serbia in the late afternoon," Vučić said during a visit to Čoka, Tanjug reports.
He added that he thinks that Mladić's son Darko will inform the public in the coming hours and days about what the family wants when it comes to General Mladić's funeral.
"We will be there, to provide every kind of logistical, transport and support to preserve public order, peace and security," said Vučić, answering a journalist's question whether it was true that Mladić's body would arrive in Serbia today.
According to him, estimates from security services and the Ministry of Internal Affairs show that tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the funeral, which will make it very difficult to ensure safety for everyone, but the state will do everything to ensure safety for all citizens.
"It will be very difficult to secure and guarantee the safety of everyone. It will be very important, bearing in mind the assessments of the Security and Information Agency, the Military Security Agency, and even the Military Intelligence Agency, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which are in the tens of thousands of attendees. So we have to secure everyone, because of the location of the cemetery itself, the burial site. Our services have a very demanding job ahead of them and we will use all available forces to ensure the safety of all citizens," Vučić emphasized, according to Tanjug.
"In Serbia, I was the only one who was wiretapped illegally"
Vučić said that in Serbia, only he, as the President of the Republic, was wiretapped illegally, and added that until 2012, he was also wiretapped, formally in accordance with the law, but essentially absolutely against the law.
"In this country, outside the law, only I was wiretapped. Remember, contrary to the law, Aleksandar Vučić was wiretapped as President of the Republic, and before that, they wiretapped me until 2012, formally in accordance with the law, essentially absolutely contrary to both the letter and spirit of the law," he said.
Responding to the question of how he would comment on the fact that certain opposition politicians claim that they were also spied on, Vučić stated that he had read the response from the Security and Information Agency, and that he did not want to deal with the planted topics of non-governmental organizations and those who would like to destroy Serbia from the outside, Tanjug writes.
"If you have nothing to offer the citizens, then don't fool them with nonsense. If you do, offer the citizens a better program, tell them what kind of economy you are going to create, how you are going to have the highest growth rate in Europe like we have today and like we will have tomorrow, and all this else is nonsense," Vučić said.
"The acquittal of Thaci will be the culmination of a deeply conceived plan by the West"
Vučić also said that the acquittal of Hashim Thaci on September 16th will be the culmination of the West's deeply conceived plan, and stressed that this must be understood as a message.
During his visit to Čoka, Vučić said that the West's strategy was to appease Serbia by arresting Thaci on charges of crimes against Serbs, in order to bring Albin Kurti to power, who, as he said, would implement Western policies without the burden of the war past.
"Now, when it's stuck somewhere, we must not let it turn out that the Serbs were right and that the Albanians committed serious crimes against the Serbs. Now we will give him an acquittal again, send him back down and further raise tensions towards the Serbs, and see if we can finally end this disobedient Serbia, so that Serbia recognizes an independent Kosovo," Vučić said, reported Tanjug.
He pointed out that this is a broader, deeper and more seriously conceived plan, and the culmination of that plan and the release of Thaci should come on the 16th. The President stated that he is troubled by what will happen after September 12 and 16, and added that he will talk more about it on Saturday and Sunday.
"For the 12th, Albanians have scheduled a large rally in Pristina, I believe they will do the same in Tirana, to unite, unite in order to put pressure on the international community," Vučić said.
Croatia is a unique country in the world in that it still glorifies Nazism.
Vučić said that no one could have ever thought that someone would glorify Nazism after 1945 as Croatians do, and emphasized that Croatia is a unique country in the world in this regard.
During a tour of the "Artis 1973" facility in Rusko Selo near Kikinda, as part of a visit to the North Banat District, Vučić responded to a journalist's question about the fact that Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković again attacked Serbia and the late General Ratko Mladić yesterday, saying that "Serbia has not emerged from catharsis and has not taken a single step forward."
"That's why they took many steps, no one ever thought that someone would glorify Nazism after 1945, and as you can see, in 2025, 2026, and 2045 they will still glorify Nazism and Nazi salutes, so this is a unique case in the world and a unique country in the world," Vučić pointed out.
He added that Croatia calls songs glorifying Nazism "patriotic songs."
