Pavle Grbović, President of the Movement of Free Citizens, said that lfreedom of Sergej Trifunović because of the inappropriate statement, it shows that it is a matter of state trickery, and it is devastating that Vulin's method has become dominant in the region.
"If writing on social networks was a measure, we would have thousands of people arrested every day, both in Serbia and in Croatia," said Grbović in the morning program of Nova S television.
He pointed out that the situation is particularly devastating considering that Trifunović is one of the biggest advocates of peace and good relations in the region.
"It is not about the fact that Sergej is an official of the Free Citizens Movement, but about the fact that he is one of the most sincere advocates of normal coexistence in the Balkans." It is widely known how many times he was attacked because of his political activities," Grbović said.
"Vučić's reaction is hypocritical"
Speaking about the reaction of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, Grbović assessed that it was hypocritical and motivated by the desire to attack Croatia, not concern for Trifunović.
"Vučić's reaction is classic hypocrisy. Sergei was a citizen of this country and when he collected money for the treatment of sick children, while he sent the police to interfere with their work. It is incomprehensible that this motive is used for arrest and conviction. I believe that the situation was abused in order for Croatia to retaliate against Serbia the situation with Severina" said Grbović.
He expressed the hope that the "spiral of madness" will stop at some point, without further harm to citizens.
Trifunović received a two-month suspended sentence
Actor Sergej Trifunović was arrested for, as the police stated, insulting and belittling police officers in a post on social networks in September 2023.
He was sentenced to sixty days in prison, which will not be served unless he commits the same crime within a year.
He must pay court costs of 150 euros and waived his right to appeal.
