Printscreen / TV PinkIn a "joint co-production" of Pink, Informer, Prva, Studio B and Happy television, on Thursday evening they broadcast a "film", i.e., an audio recording, of a meeting in the Novi Sad premises of the Movement of Free Citizens, where its members are heard planning to occupy the RTS building. The video is "probably" authentic, they told Vremena at the top of that movement and distanced themselves from these members of theirs.
In the recordings published in the "film" which was a co-production of five pro-regime television stations - Pink, Informer, Prva, Studio B and Happy - people who have been identified as activists of several non-governmental organizations and members can be heard Movement of free citizens How are they planning to break into the building? RTS-and.
According to reports, the meeting was held in the premises of the PSG board in Novi Sad, and was attended by Mila Pajić, Dejan Bagarić, Mladen Cvijetić, Branislav Đorđević, Marija Vasić, Srđan Đurić, Doroteja Antić, Jovan Dražić, Lazar Dinić, Anja Pitulić, Davor Stefanović and Lado Jovović.
The directors of the aforementioned television stations spoke about it during breaks in the broadcast of the video as the ultimate proof that the student protests are actually not peaceful, but rather violent, although it is quite clear from the recorded conversation that the protagonists are working on their own.
It was said that one of the participants of the meeting sneaked the secret recording "because he did not want to participate in causing a civil war", although everything bears the imprint of secret wiretapping by the BIA, which, if there is no warrant from the Prosecutor's Office, would be questionable evidence in court.
The headquarters didn't even know about the meeting
The audio recording of the meeting in the Novi Sad premises of the Movement of Free Citizens is "probably" authentic, the head of that movement told "Vreme", noting that the headquarters of the PSG in Belgrade did not even know about the meeting.
This party said in tonight's announcement that the recordings that were broadcast last night represent a secretly recorded conversation between several younger members of the Novi Sad Free Citizens Movement board with representatives of several activist groups.
"The views expressed do not represent the views or plans of the Movement of Free Citizens, and least of all the attitude of our organization towards the student protests and their demands." Aware of the fact that at this moment all other topics are of lesser importance, including who recorded the conversation and how, we want to apologize to all citizens for the irresponsible discussions and to guarantee that none of the members of the Movement of Free Citizens with any of their gestures or acts on Saturday will damage the general appearance of the protests, which should take place in a peaceful and dignified tone," the PSG statement points out.
FDU students in blockade: We are protecting ourselves from those who want violence and break-ins into institutions
On the page of students of the Faculty of Dramatic Arts under blockade, a statement was published in which the rebellious academics dissociate themselves from "those who want violence and intrusions into institutions".
"Tonight, the entire media machinery was harnessed to present a series of lies about what the students are planning for March 15, including the invasion of RTS." We distance ourselves from those who want violence and break into institutions, and present themselves as close to students.
We are all against the machinery," the post reads.

Reaction of students of the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad
The students of the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad also distanced themselves on Instagram from the meeting of the Organized Group Stav and members of the Movement of Free Citizens and stressed that nothing that was said at that meeting did not represent the will of the students of the Faculty of Philosophy in the blockade.
"The students of the Faculty of Philosophy who attended that meeting did not speak on behalf of the students in the blockade, and we strongly condemn everything that was said," they state in the announcement.
"Also, we resolutely deny claims that students of the Faculty of Philosophy are behind any initiative to form an expert or transitional government." Such ideas did not come from us and do not reflect the attitude of the majority of students. We believe that the student struggle is not a political project and that it must not be misused for someone's hidden goals", stated the students of the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad.
The students distanced themselves from all political parties and organizations, including the Organized Group Stav.

What was broadcast on the audio recording?
The video shows the multi-stage plan to occupy the RTS building. There was also talk of breaking into the Serbian Parliament. It is claimed to have originated at a meeting on March 12.
First, there was talk of bringing banners with the inscription "transitional government" to the protest on March 15 in Belgrade, thus coloring the student protest with a clear political demand.
Then they moved on to the invasion of the building of Radio and Television of Serbia.
The persons in the video point out that it is important to divide the plan on occupying the RTS building into three phases, including obtaining the building plan, organizing a technical operator who would know how to broadcast the program, as well as a plan in case of police reaction, but also passive police resistance. There was also a proposal to break into the studio and be included in the program, as well as that tear gas is not a problem because the activists will have gas masks, and one of them mentioned a Molotov cocktail.
"If we are well organized, you can either kick the bucket, and we will have gas masks and we can give them back." The problem is how to get into the RTS building if the police rush to the entrance," said one of the filmed activists.
They pointed out that it is important that the raid be well organized and that it is necessary to find out how many members of the police will be present and where, and that everything should be carried out as a "bank robbery".
The members of this group, regarding the possible intrusion into the Assembly, said that it would not be good for them to initiate it because, as they said, it would "delegitimize" the protests, and that it would be best if unknown people could potentially carry it out. They also said that they plan to deploy in coordinated groups at several locations in Belgrade on Saturday, and that it is crucial to coordinate around 17 people at the Assembly at 100 p.m.
At the meeting, the participants agreed that they "don't have the legitimacy" to change the government and that they can't do it on Saturday, but that the goal is to change the type of protest, first into demonstrations that, according to them, would weaken the government of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, and eventually topple it.
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, announced that he will address the public on Friday, March 14 at 18 p.m. regarding the plans to provoke conflict, i.e. of this recording.

The hospital formed a commission for an extraordinary expert check and informed the health inspection. Cases of death during childbirth in Serbia rarely receive a judicial epilogue.
Two unions of public services supported the request of FDU students for information about RTS employees, since claims appeared in the public that it was a request for "files". The students say they are looking for "public truth about public service."
Among those pardoned is the man who attacked a citizen who came to ask about the street in the office of the mayor of Kosjerić in April. The pardon applies only to one of the two offenses, and the injured party announces a constitutional appeal.
