Serbian Prime Minister Thanks Russian Special Services for Warning About Impending Unrest
BELGRADE (Sputnik) - Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic thanked the Russian intelligence services on Monday for information about the impending unrest in the country's capital.
On Sunday, supporters of the Serbian opposition, who disagree with the results of the recent snap elections, surrounded the National Assembly in the capital city of Belgrade, climbing the steps and trying to break down the doors, a Sputnik correspondent reported.
Police also used tear gas against a crowd of demonstrators who tried to break into the building, which is blocked with shields from the inside by the gendarmerie. Later, police dispersed protesters from the square within minutes and set up a cordon.
"I can only say thank you, and this probably won't be popular in the West, but I really, especially tonight, feel it's important to stand up for Serbia and thank the people in the Russian intelligence services who had all this information and shared it with us," Brnabic told Serbian broadcaster Pink.
In addition, Vucic and Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic scheduled meetings with
Russian Ambassador to Serbia Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko on Monday.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic also thanked the partner
intelligence services of other countries that warned Serbian authorities about impending unrest. He added that two police officers were seriously injured as a result of the unrest, while over 35 protesters were detained.
Moreover, the president stated that the protests are an attempt to deprive
Serbia of independence and sovereignty, noting that the authorities will protect the order. Vucic also said that some people have already begun celebrating a "successful revolution."
"It [protests] is a product of much more serious geopolitical circumstances in which they are trying to destroy the autonomy, independence and sovereignty of the Republic of Serbia. We will preserve the freedom of Serbia, because it is the greatest value, we will preserve the autonomy, independence and sovereignty of our country," the president said in a special address to the citizens.
Furthermore,
Vucic urged the Serbians not to worry about the unrest, noting that there are no talks of revolution.
"Do not worry, citizens of Serbia. Although the scenes are dramatic, we love our country and city, we are not used to someone breaking our home, No revolution is happening, they will not succeed in any of this," Vucic noted.
Up to 2,490 people are participating in the
protests, and the authorities are "trying to use a gentle response" so as not to injure a random demonstrator, according to the president.
