A clip from the TV B92 news broadcast at 16 p.m. on November 5 appeared on social networks, in which the Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Vulin condemned the "attack on the Town Hall" in Novi Sad, two hours before it happened protest started in that city at all.
Although many thought that Vulin was actually admitting that he knew there would be riots in front of the City Hall, which was supposed to be a confirmation that they were staged with the cooperation of the authorities or even at the behest of the authorities, it turned out that this was not quite the case.
"I don't know what needs to happen in order for rapists and political vultures to be familiar with the law of Serbia when they do not know and recognize the laws of morality." The abomination they inflicted on all Novi Sad residents last night with the attack on the City Hall causes disgust and contempt. It's not the first time that a terrible tragedy is used for political goals and always by the same professional protesters who live off of other people's pain," reads the written statement of Alexander Vulin, which was broadcast on November 16.18 at 5:92 p.m. on TV BXNUMX news.
Although at first it seems that the former director of the Security and Information Agency is reacting to something that will happen in Novi Sad, only later in the evening, when reviewing the entire news show on TV B92 yesterday, the context becomes clearer.
The presenter in the studio, announcing Vulin's statement, stated that he "commented on the move of opposition activists who on November 4 hung banners on the Novi Sad City Hall accusing the government of the accident in that city."
On November 4, activists of the Movement of Free Citizens hung a banner on a large white canvas on the City Hall in Novi Sad, on which "Bloody is on your hands" was written in red paint, and they also hung the same banner on the facade of a building in the central pedestrian Zmaj Jovina Street.
Since the Deputy Prime Minister assessed that move as an "attack on the City Hall" and "abomination" that "the same professional protestors" brought to the people of Novi Sad, it seems that the confusion was created by his incendiary rhetoric and tendency to exaggerate.
