Serbian opposition leaders managed to agree to inform the united members of the European Parliament about the collapse of democracy in Serbia, police brutality and the transformation of Aleksandar Vučić into Lukashenko.
"Democracy at the Crossroads" is the name of the debate that is being organized today (Tuesday, September 9) in the European Parliament, and is being led by three political groups - Socialists and Democrats, Greens and Renew Europe. The press conference of the European Green Party on "the growing authoritarianism of President Aleksandar Vučić and the repression of protesters" is also being held.
On the agenda is a discussion about the wave of violence and the continuous use of force against demonstrators in Serbia. Before the beginning of the session, the European Greens pointed out that the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, should take a clear position towards the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, while the President of the European People's Party, Manfred Weber, announced that in the coming days, discuss the future status of SNS within their group.
Who is at the crossroads?
Biljana Đorđević, co-president of the Green-Left Front, said that Serbia is at a crossroads.
"We have gone to authoritarianism from Brussels to Moscow and Beijing, from stability to instability. We have the revenge of the Ministry of Education, which is carrying out the dismissal of educators because of the support they gave to students," she said. "After the terrible occupation of the University in Novi Sad, in an unprecedented demolition of the university's autonomy by the police, Vučić openly insulted the members of the Green Party in the EP... The European Union enabled the SNS to create an authoritarian state in Serbia, with constant propaganda in the EU, which is supposed to cover up the corruption and criminalization of institutions in Serbia."
The vice-president of the Freedom and Justice Party, Borko Stefanović, said that "the people of Serbia are currently on the streets, we have demonstrations that have been going on for 10 months, in which students play a key role, but also people from all walks of life, including opposition parties, from day one."
"The fight, which is peaceful and dignified, continues, and we have nervous reactions from the regime that are getting worse every day. The spiral of violence is spreading, Aleksandar Vučić is ready to bring the country to the brink of the abyss. Our task is that with your help, if possible, that Serbia as a candidate country does not fall into that abyss. At this moment, it seems to me that the EC is beginning to understand a specific problem in Serbia," said Stefanović and added that Vučić is trying to close down the television stations N1 and Nova S.
The president of the Serbia Center party, Zdravko Ponoš, said that after all, Aleksandar Vučić should be treated like his Belarusian namesake, Lukashenko.
It was also heard that Vučić and several of his associates should be banned from entering the European Union due to police brutality against Serbian citizens.
They admire Serbia.
Member of the European Parliament Vladimir Prebilič from Slovenia said that he condemns the decline of democracy, the obsolescence of the media and the erosion of the rule of law.
"In recent weeks, we have been watching shocking scenes of police violence against peaceful protesters. I will underline that violence has no place in democratic life, peaceful protests are not a crime, it is the basis of democracy. I also want to highlight the courage of young people in Serbia. Many of us will remember the exceptional students who cycled to Strasbourg and those who ran to Brussels. They carried a message of pride, hope and perseverance. They want a free, democratic and European Serbia," he said. he.
"Informer" gave the headline about all this: "People's landslide! Blockade leaders went to Strasbourg to complain about Vučić!"

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.
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
