President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić he stated before Saturday protest, to which the students in the blockade called, that "Serbia did not accept the ultimatum".
The students gave an ultimatum to the authorities - either call for elections by June 28 at 21 p.m. and dissolve the tent settlement in Pionirski Park better known as "Ćaciland" or face civil disobedience. Without specifying what it would mean.
"The Serbian state has faced ultimatums from foreign major powers many times, and this time the foreign powers sent an ultimatum through domestic henchmen," Vučić said on Friday, June 27, and added that "the ultimatum was not accepted, you don't have to wait until 21 p.m. tomorrow", referring to the deadline for fulfilling the demands set by the students in the blockade.
"The people should not be afraid, only those who plan violence should be afraid," Vučić said in a statement to Pink TV after attending a liturgy in Kruševac in the Church of St. Stephen the First Martyr.
He pointed out that it was good that Vidovdan came and said that "everything will be seen" on Vidovdan.
"On Vidovdan, it will be seen whether someone was afraid or not. And the strength of the Serbian state will be seen - and that is to preserve peace and stability," Vučić pointed out.
Government representatives have been claiming for days that violence is being prepared for Vidovdan, and students say they are not calling for it. The protest has been announced from 18:21 to XNUMX:XNUMX, but the question remains what will happen after XNUMX:XNUMX.
