"There were a lot of expressions of support," he said and added that it was particularly important to him that those messages were an expression of support for the values and ideas represented by "Krokodil".
As he stated, the absence of reaction from institutions due to attacks on him on the anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica it didn't surprise him, just like the attack itself didn't surprise him.
"We have been living in that shack for a very, very long time. Given that the perpetrators were extremely young, and that these are people who were instrumentalized through various groups that carry out dirty work for the state of Serbia, it is understandable that they adopted everything that was offered to them while growing up, and in that name they become holy," said Arsenijević.
Describing the attack, he said that a group of young men surrounded him as soon as he got out of the taxi.
"When I got out of the taxi, they started towards me and surrounded me. Then a small group of five or six of them separated and started approaching me. I would not repeat the vulgar, sadistic and derogatory words they uttered, but I think that everyone who lives in this country can imagine what it looked like. They got in my face, and then individual blows began, with numerous threats that I was on their list and that the end had come, I don't know why," said Arsenijević.
He reminded that the area of the "Krokodil" center has been the target of vandalism for years because of the activities of the association and the views it represents, despite the fact that the facility is under video surveillance.
"It's always the same young faces. At the end of it all, sadness remains in me. It's very sad to grow up in an atmosphere where this country, with its elaborate mechanisms, does exactly that to our youth," concluded Arsenijević.
Board of Directors of "Krokodil" Association he demanded a public condemnation of the attack on Vladimir Arsenijević and an urgent reaction of the competent authorities to find the perpetrators, as well as the investigation of their principals and instigators.
