President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić he said on Sunday that he was proud of how "we marked yesterday with dignity" the anniversary fall of the canopy at the railway station in Novi Sad.
"Regardless of all political differences, we are united in dignity," Vučić pointed out.
He added that his hand "will always be extended to anyone who thinks differently."
"Just don't make me think differently," said Vučić.
He stated that his apology, which he issued ahead of the anniversary of the fall of the canopy, was "sincerely not due to the need to please anyone" but that it "appeared as a result of the need to influence a change in the atmosphere in society".
"Let me try to say that I am certainly not the happiest because of every word spoken. I had to put myself in their shoes even when I don't understand anything about what they are saying and what they are doing and to try to understand what their intentions are," said Vučić.
"That's why I offer them dialogue., I offer a willingness to answer any question. On to the bottom line, as I understand the main claim is the same as six months ago as opposed to 12 months ago. Competent institutions in our country, in accordance with the Constitution and the law, will make decisions about when it will be elections, but I want to say - that respecting their demands that those elections be held ahead of time, that they be held before April, May 2027, that certainly understanding the needs and demands of the blockaders, a significant minority in our country, that is, a large number of people, that we will meet them and that those elections will be held before the deadline, when the competent institution will decide on it," said Vučić.
