During the session, a bizarre moment happened when Branko Milićević Kockica, a long-time member of the Serbian Progressive Party, took the floor. He performed a strange facial expression for a long time, remaining silent, and then said that he had "no words" and started applauding Šapić.

The former popular author of shows for children, with whom generations have grown up, started the thunderous applause for the mayor of Šapic again.
Political biography of the new-old mayor
Aleksandar Šapić was a successful water polo player for many years until 2009, but then he stopped his career and began to engage in politics. The very next year, he became an assistant to the mayor of Belgrade, Dragan Đilas, and was also the head of the City Committee of the Democratic Party (DS).
He served as assistant to the mayor of Belgrade from 2009 to 2012. He was elected president of the municipality of Novi Beograd in the 2012 elections, and re-elected in the 2016 elections. He started his third term as the president of the municipality of Novi Beograd after the 2020 election.
In 2013, he formed his association of citizens "For our city", with which he independently participated in the municipal elections in 2016 and won in New Belgrade.
In the 2018 Belgrade elections, he came in third place, winning more than nine percent of the support of the citizens of Belgrade.
At the session of the Assembly of the Serbian Patriotic Association, held on July 21, 2018, Aleksandar Šapić was unanimously elected as the president of this newly formed political organization. The Serbian Patriotic Alliance becomes a parliamentary party for the first time after the 2020 elections.
After the unification of the Serbian Patriotic Union with the Serbian Progressive Party, on May 29, 2021, he was elected vice president of the Main Board of the Serbian Progressive Party. At the constituent session of the Assembly of the City of Belgrade, on June 20, 2022, he was elected mayor of Belgrade.
Today, he was re-elected as the mayor of the city of Belgrade.

Only the court can determine who caused injuries to whom, said lawyer Edvin S. Prelić, reacting to the claims of the Kreni-promeni movement that Aelksandar Šapić caused serious physical injuries to councilor Tatjana Mićić

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
