Aleksandar Vučić is not welcome in Novi Sad, according to Vladimir Vrsajkov, who leads the local board of Serbia’s Freedom and Justice Party. Vrsajkov said the city remembers its victims.
In a statement, Vrsajkov called Vučić “the main suspect at the head of an organized criminal group responsible for the crime at the railway station.” The statement also criticized Deputy Deputy Mayor Žarko Mićin’s suggestion that many residents wanted to gather at Freedom Square to congratulate the president.
The main suspect at the head of an organized criminal group responsible for the crime at the railway station.
Vrsajkov said such congratulations would make sense only if it were normal and humane to congratulate someone for corruption, the destruction of Novi Sad and the railway-station crime. These were political accusations in his statement, not findings reported in the supplied text.
He also claimed that Vučić planned to arrive with hundreds of buses, several hundred “batons” and at least 1,000 police officers. Vrsajkov said Novi Sad residents would “underline this heavily” in the elections to come.
