"We are asking for no confidence in the government of Đura Matsut, but it applies to the entire system. Matsut is just a continuation of something that was established in 2012, and established in 2014 when Aleksandar Vučić became prime minister," said Miroslav Aleksić, president of the National Movement of Serbia
"Milice Zavetnice, where did you lose the Kosovo pledge? There are no more traitors. You shut up. The Serbian people are happy and there is no surrender. That is the only thing left for you. You destroyed the whole country. If you talked to the ordinary people of Kosovo, you would hear what people really think, and that sale can be seen in the example of Rio Tinto, so you were ready to hand over Jadar and Radjevina, and let us be a colony, like Nigeria and like Congo." he ordered Miroslav Aleksic, MP of the opposition, during one of the longest speeches in to the Assembly, in which he explained the request for the dismissal of the government of Đura Macuta.
This is how Aleksić addressed Milica Đurđrević Stamenkovski, a government minister and leader of the conservative Zavetnica party.
His presentation in the Serbian Parliament lasted four hours, and he, as the authorized proposer of the opposition who explained the demands for the removal of the government, had no time limit during the speech.
"If you can't sit down", then get out, said Aleksic, addressing Milenko Jovanov, head of the SNS parliamentary group.
SNS MPs mostly listen to Aleksić's speech in peace and quiet, as well as the present Prime Minister Đuro Matsut and the ministers in the Government of Serbia who are being discussed. Opposition MPs occasionally applaud. Around 1:30 p.m., Aleksić said that he would speak until the break at 2:00 p.m., and in that part he already spoke about the accusations against him from the regime's tabloids.
Aleksić, MP of the National Movement of Serbia (NPS) and representative of the proponent of the motion of no confidence in the government, explains it this morning from 10:00 a.m. when the session began. He said, among other things, that the opposition and students are not responsible for anything because the government has been making decisions alone all these years.
"You started killing each other"
He also pointed out that "you have a bigger problem than the students and the opposition, you have started killing each other, you have caught up with someone", you should think about how Serbia will look at you when you step down from power.
Commenting on the reactions to what he said, Aleksić also addressed Minister Boris Bratina, telling him to go to church and be baptized there.
He stated that this is a unique opportunity for the government to be in this composition after its election and that the citizens have forgotten what they are supposed to do.
At today's extraordinary session on no confidence in the government, Aleksić said that we forgot about Prime Minister Đura Matsut and expressed satisfaction that he is here.
According to him, lately we have seen him in a white coat, which means that he has agreed to the role of a puppet in the puppet government of Aleksandar Vučić.
He noticed that Minister of Information Boris Bratina came in a jacket and not in sneakers, as well as that Minister Nikola Selaković was there with a criminal report from the prosecution.
Aleksić reminded that the key reason for initiating the motion of no confidence in the government is precisely the General Staff case in which Minister Nikola Selaković is involved.
He asked what was the problem that the elections were called last year and that even the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, does not know when they will be held, so he goes to witch doctors and soothsayers to be told.
Speaking about the project, which included the renovation of the canopy, Aleksić said that the Chinese contractor was only an "umbrella" on those projects, and added that the works were performed exclusively by domestic companies.
"Is it only the responsibility of Vesić, Momirović, Tanasković? No, it is first of all the responsibility of the one who committed himself to his Chinese friends that the job will be done, hurried to open the canopy before the elections, and that is Aleksandar Vučić," said Aleksić.
He stated that the only normal thing to do that evening, when Vučić held the conference, was to demand the resignation of the Government of Serbia.
There have been no free elections in the last decade
Commenting on the allegations about the use of a sound cannon at the protest, Aleksić emphasized that first the representatives of the government used that term, and that later the representatives of the opposition "dealt with it", and added that in the end the citizens realized what the government had done.
Aleksić pointed out that the elections are a celebration of democracy and added that there have been no free elections in Serbia in the last decade.
According to Aleksić, the local elections on March 29 were a picture and an opportunity of what elections look like in a trapped and troubled country, where the government cannot come to terms with the fact that the citizens do not want it and that it is time for changes.
"You use institutions, and you have created a serious hybrid regime, to force people to support you and to vote for you... There is not a single person in the public sector in Serbia who has not faced those pressures... You know when we will know that we have freed Serbia from you, when people who work in the public sector are free to do their work," said the president of the NPS.
Aleksić also reminded that Ivan Ristic, who heads the Unit for the Protection of Certain Persons and Objects, congratulated Zvezdan Jovanović on his birthday, who was convicted of the murder of former Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić, and told Prime Minister Macuto that he "had to ask for an immediate replacement".

There is, literally, no difference between the one who claims it is day in the middle of the night, or the one who claims to be a giraffe, from the claims we read on billboards: that Vučić is working to unify Serbs and that Serbia is doing better and better day by day.
The pre-election arrests due to the alleged "overthrow of the state" testify to the regime's panic. The bad news for them is - they can't arrest the whole people who decided to defend themselves from progressive beatings and election theft
