Serbian President Aleksandar Vučević rejected last night the possibility of forming a transitional or expert government after the resignation of Prime Minister Miloš Vučević and stated that the recent events in Serbia represent attempts by foreign intelligence agencies to destabilize the country, reports the regional television En1, quoted by BTA.
On January 28, Prime Minister Miloš Vučević resigned amid mass protests following the tragedy in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad, where on November 1, 2024 the concrete canopy of the railway station collapsed, killing 15 people.
At a meeting in the central town of Trstenik on Friday evening, President Vucic said that recent events in Serbia are attempts by foreign intelligence agencies to destabilize the country, En1 noted.
Elections, referendums, democracy - all of them are possible, but there will be no government of puppets serving others, not while I am alive and holding the post of president, Vucic said, quoted by the Serbian editorial office of En1. The president commented that an "important foreigner" had proposed the idea of an expert government after the resignation of Miloš Vucić.
The Serbian president said that after the official acceptance of Vucić's resignation, he would invite all parties represented in parliament to talks. The president specified that he expects some to refuse to participate.
“It is time to start a dialogue and resolve the problems in the fastest and best way possible, and this is my sincere proposal. If you don't want to talk to me, there are a bunch of ministers you can do it with. If you don't want to talk to them, there are others, let's start solving the problems so that our children can go back to school“, urged President Aleksandar Vučić.
His message to the people and to foreigners is that there will be no compromise with the legal status of Serbia.
“Kosovo is Serbia and there will be no sanctions against our friends, no matter how much they want it. "We will not hand Serbia over to those who plundered it from 2000 to 2012," Vucic vowed.
The president listed the economic successes of the government led by the Serbian Progressive Party since 2012, emphasizing that Serbia is currently the first in the region in terms of average wages.
As Vucic spoke to the gathered crowd, his supporters chanted "President, we love you!", to which he replied: "I love you too," En1 noted.
