President of the Serbia Center Party (SRCE) Zdravko Ponoš received an invitation to report to the Criminal Police Directorate (UKP).
As stated, he was invited to report today at 10 a.m. to the Anti-Terrorism Service in Belgrade, in the capacity of a citizen, according to a request to collect information, by order of the VJT.
According to the party, Ponoš will respond to the invitation.
Although the text of the summons does not state which investigation it is about, it is suspected that the summons was sent as part of the investigation against the persons who, immediately after the incident at the rally on March 15, claimed that a sonic weapon had been used.
"We emphasize that the inclusion of the Anti-Terrorism Service is absurd and that the whole story about the 'simulation of a sound cannon' serves exclusively for political pressure on the president of Serbia Center, who was labeled in the regime media as one of the first to release this information to the public," the statement said.
As a reminder, the VJT in Belgrade announced on Friday, June 19, that it suspected that the students "planned to simulate a sound cannon" at the protest on March 15, adding that it had ordered the collection of information in this regard, as well as conducting interviews with all those who publicly stated that a sound cannon was used against the participants of that protest.
In this regard, on Monday, June 22, the apartment of military analyst Aleksandar Radić was searched, and also the lawyer and vice-president of LSV - Vojvodina Aleksandar Olenik was invited to UKP for an informational interview, which took place on June 24. The editor-in-chief of the Srbin.info portal, Dejan Zlatanović, was heard on June 23. Beta agency editor-in-chief Vojkan Kostić was also summoned to the police, who was with him on the day of the search of Radić's apartment, because he had interviewed him. He was summoned to the UKP "due to suspicion of preparing an act against the constitutional order and security of Serbia."

At the consultations before the constitutive session, the Student List announced that the leadership of the Assembly will be decided by the majority, without prior agreement on the distribution of functions. Brnabić assesses this as an interruption of the practice of respecting the opposition
Justice must never again depend on who is in power, because it applies to both "ours" and "theirs". The winners fought for it. Other affairs can wait, even if it is foreign policy - Europe is here, it will not run away
All this is the logical cause of Vučić's hysterical reaction to the mention of regulating the local media space. A mild attack on Prva and Informer televisions led to protests by "loyalists"
When "Because I say so" or "Because Freud says it differently" becomes a sufficient argument, it destroys in one fell swoop everything that has been worked on for several centuries: the importance of verification based on objective and rational parameters, respect for different points of view, a culture of dialogue, basic equality between people, replacing dogma with doubt and free research
At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
The four independent members of REM are an example of perseverance and civic responsibility. Rodoljub Šabić even, upon leaving the premises of REM, after the sentencing of the Informer, experienced that the Essenes insulted him, hit him with their hands and feet. But that too will soon be over
Vučić pardoned the batterers and Dijana Hrkalović. The election winners should abolish the sultan's power that allows one man to run afoul of the entire judicial system
