The morning after perhaps the most massive protests in Serbia, when tens of thousands of citizens marched through the streets of Belgrade, President Aleksandar Vucic reacted on Instagram.
Without commenting on the demands of the protests, he uttered not an approximation, but an identical sentence of the man who was ousted from power after the protests of 2000. Vucic spoke in the words of Slobodan Milosevic.
" Someone from abroad is not destroying Serbia because of Vucic, but is destroying Vucic because of Serbia ," he said. But 23 years ago, his former boss said: " They are not attacking Serbia because of Milosevic, but Milosevic because of Serbia ".
According to "Nova.rs", as usual, he presents himself as a victim, using the words of someone who more than 20 years ago was in a similar situation to him. The "New York Times" and "Washington Post" may not know why the current president is quoting the deposed one, but the citizens of Serbia remember that it was Vucic who was the Minister of Information during the rule of Slobodan Milosevic.
This is how the once radical wing, now progressive, decided to defend itself, just as Milosevic tried in the fateful year 2000.
