She is on Thursday (January 16) MP (37) was hit by a car "Ford Focus Caravan" while she was standing on the sidewalk during fifteen-minute street blockades. The student of the Faculty of Law is from Kraljevo.

In that town, citizens blocked the street leading to Vrnjačka banja. A woman from Kraljevo told N1 during the rally that they have nothing to offer children except to defend them with their bodies.

Who are those who would kill for Vucic?

"We are all equally targeted.", she said, and in her hand she held a banner with the inscription "Gimnazija Kraljevo".

Predrag Voštinić, councilor of the Local Front in the Assembly of Kings, said: "We are getting to the point where it will be decisive whether a civil war will happen." I use those two words because it is obvious that there is no one to protect people from non-humans and I think that people will have to organize themselves. Please protect the children and yourself from us."

Students in front of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office

After this attack, students of the Faculty of Law called for a protest. When they were joined by colleagues from other faculties and citizens, they headed in front of the building of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Nemanjina Street.

Law Faculty student Boris Stanišić told N1 that this was a spontaneous reaction to the terrible act that took place, "and the crowd is big."

Students who protested for more than an hour and a half in front of the High Public Prosecutor's Office building in Belgrade, gathered after 17 pm in front of the Presidency of Serbia where they whistled and chanted "We want justice".

Your hands are bloody for the umpteenth time

Faculty of Law student Sofija Ivanović told "Vreme" that today's attack was "the last straw" and that it is quite clear that the rebellious students are being repressed.

The reaction of the University of Belgrade

The University of Belgrade issued an urgent statement with the strongest protest against the attack in which their student was seriously injured on Thursday.

"This tragic incident confirms the justification of the warnings presented at yesterday's extended Rector's College, when we appealed to increase the safety of participants in student protests and blockades," the University's announcement states.

"We insist that measures be implemented that will protect our students and the entire academic community." We demand from the competent state bodies immediate and consistent implementation of the law in all cases of attacks on students".

Both the administration of the Faculty of Dramatic Arts and the Teaching-Artistic-Scientific Council strongly condemned the continuous escalation of violence against students participating in university blockades, which culminated today, reports FoNet.

"Goebbels' Poison House"

Professor at the Faculty of Law, Miodrag Jovanović, said that the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, is the instigator of all the violence that is happening in Serbia, and that he is the most responsible for the fact that this country is on the verge of civil conflicts.

At the protest in front of the Faculty of Law, he told FoNet that all the statements that Vučić made in the previous days came from his "Goebbels Poison Box", from which statements are sent that students are traitors.

Jovanović said that these are inciting messages, and then it is not surprising when it occurs to someone to commit a mindless act like today's trampling of a female student.

Driver detained

Police officers of the Police Department for the city of Belgrade have identified and found the driver of the MP (37) who, as is suspected, hit a XNUMX-year-old girl at the corner of Rooseveltova and Kraljica Marija streets with a "Ford Focus Caravan" around noon today, according to a statement from the MUP - a.

There were allegedly two other people in the vehicle, one of whom was a minor.

The suspect is charged with the crime of aggravated attempted murder.

He was detained for up to 48 hours, during which time he will be questioned at the High Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade.

A female student was seriously injured

After the attack, the emergency team transported the student to the emergency center.

"The patient was admitted in a conscious state. She is communicative and in a stable general condition. "Due to the injuries sustained, additional diagnostics are underway," the Clinical Center of Serbia announced earlier on Thursday.

Vučić's billboards and reality

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.
