Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said he was sure of the West's involvement in attempts to make a color revolution in the republic with the help of students. The head of state stated this on the air of the Happy television channel.
“Everything they are doing is an attempt at a color revolution, I have no doubt about it. This is not a problem, we will wait until the last moment, when we will be forced to respond, when they start forcibly blocking highways“, Vucic noted. He added that he has information according to which “foreign agents through their connections have already handed over to some students“ instructions to block traffic at the main intersections to the main intersections.
„We already know who is doing it and how. Some come from Western countries, and others from the East, where they did dirty work for the Western intelligence network. We will tolerate this until a certain point, and then we will behave according to the rules that the state must follow“, the president stressed.
Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević earlier indicated that he did not rule out the possibility of external influence on the events taking place in Serbia, which uses the mechanisms of color revolutions and puts pressure on the country's legitimate authorities. “When you look at the instructions for conducting color revolutions, you will see that this is being implemented in Serbia“, he said.
Since November, Serbian students and opposition forces have been holding protests in Novi Sad, Belgrade and other cities. At 11:52 a.m. - the time when the railway station collapsed on November 1 - the participants blocked the streets for 15 minutes, maintaining complete silence. Their posters contain calls for those responsible for the tragedy to be brought to justice, and the symbol of their actions is a bloody handprint. Students from educational institutions are actively participating in the protests. About 50 universities and high schools have suspended work due to the student boycott. Students have declared their readiness to continue the protests and block the educational process.
A 50-meter-high concrete structure located on the railway station building in Serbia's second most populous city collapsed on November 1, killing 15 people.
