"Soon, next year, we will go to the elections," he promised President Aleksandar Vučić to the gathered supporters in front of the plateau of the Serbian Parliament who came to celebrate with him removal of tents from Ćaciland.
As "Vreme" unofficially learns, employees in public companies were ordered to come tonight to a spontaneous meeting in Ćaciland from 19 to 21.
Speech for defenders from Ćaciland
Considerably before that, there were, according to the media, several hundreds of people on the plateau.
The regime media announced the arrival of the president to the mentioned celebration all afternoon, but first of all to "thank the people who defended Serbia" and Milica Đurđević Stemenkovski declared that the removal of the tent was "a victory for the dignity of Serbia".
President Vučić arrived at the celebration a little, almost insignificantly late, he spoke for about twenty minutes, occasionally interrupted by shouts of "Aco Srbine".
He began by thanking the young people who "launched the greatest and noblest idea and defended it to the end."
"It is the idea of a sovereign, independent Serbia in which normal and decent people do not want to torture, kill, remove anyone from the political stage, but just want to live normal lives," he said.
This was followed by a recapitulation of the past year in which "they were bothered by the spark of freedom that was born in Pionirski Park", but "they could never put away the heroes from Pionirski Park".
They want to destroy the image of the state
He ordered what those who, according to him, want the ruin of Serbia all the time, did and lied, and that "when they realized on March 15 that they were only fighting among themselves and that they did not take power, they invented a terrible lie about the sound cannon in order not to harm Serbia and destroy the image of Serbia as a democratic country".
He accused the police that the "blockaders" had an agreement with many units, and revealed to the people "the secret that on March 15 we only had two units with us."
"On March 15, many police officers pointed their guns at Pionirski Park, not at those who wanted violence and threw stones and torches at Pionirski Park," he said.
By the way, he is "happy" about today's action by students in which they collected signatures from citizens who support them, "although in the end they will add up the number, but the truth will be seen in the elections", he exclaimed.
They burned our cities.
He then announced that "we want to talk to them, and whoever gets the majority can rule the country."
"It is our duty to never treat them the way they wanted to treat us. They wanted us dead, humiliated, removed from the country. We want them here in our country, to live with us, to listen to them. To talk to them, but to respect democratic rules and whoever gets the majority has the right to rule the country."
To go on to emphasize "not one who thinks he can burn our cities, you have burned everything enough. You have destroyed everything you have reached."
He said that this was the most difficult year in his career, but that's why "the next year will be perhaps the best in the history of Serbia, when we will have the largest pensions, ensure the largest growth of Serbia."
He also said that a Christmas village should be built here quickly, so that the tents from Pionirski Park should be removed within a month.
