Aleksandar Vucic

And I want to protect every young person because I believe there is hope that they will change and behave much more responsibly in the future.

I did so because I know they would have been sentenced to several years in prison in any country, in any other country in the world.

I made the decision to pardon 12 people from the Novi Sad group led by [activist] Mila Pajic, just as I decided to pardon 11 people who, on the other [pro-government] side, took part in incidents against protesters involved in the…

I am doing all of this to further ensure stability and peace for our citizens and for Serbia.

You simply can’t defend yourself against it.

We are making progress in our defence industry. We are receiving technology transfers from some powers, while we are providing [technology] to others.

Within a year, we will start producing long-range ballistic missiles, and we are ready to cooperate with you [Uzbekistan] on that matter as well.

If it were not for these tensions, if it were not for these political disagreements and conflicts, we certainly would not need [elections]. But any delay would jeopardise both EXPO and the survival of democracy as the best form of…

We need election results that will clearly demonstrate and determine the will of the citizens as to where, in what direction, and along which path Serbia is heading.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic dismissed Kos’s criticism as 'stupid'.

I suppose we were meant to ban people from showing up, to ban the funeral.

Glorification of General Ratko Mladic, except it doesn’t say who was glorifying anything.

Extremely brief, but stupid, as usual

Did I make a scene about it, or persecute anyone in the BIA afterward? Never.

In this country, I was wiretapped when I was the leading opposition figure. They were listening to me the entire time.

“Is there any country where a child of 15 can decide to protest or not, he said and added that this will not be the case in Serbia.”

“Don’t forget that people appreciate fighters, not the people who did well,”

“Many of you think it’s enough to issue a statement once in 10 days, achieving I don’t know what. Get mad at me all you want, I am saying this as someone who still has the greatest political legitimacy in Serbia and I am right to say this…

All those who took part in crimes against Serbs in the former Yugoslavia were always either acquitted or given token sentences, only for those decisions to later be changed on appeal and the defendants ultimately released.

Do I believe in justice from The Hague? I never have, and I still do not.

We have seen that they did not want to allow the general to die in Serbia, where he wanted to die. That is uncivilised behaviour, behaviour without precedent and without justification.

The Hague wanted [Ratko] Mladic to die behind bars, not in a hospital

I do not understand why they would not allow someone to spend their final days outside a prison cell. But am I particularly surprised? No.

The Russians have also offered us support and assistance, but it is not necessary at this point. We have sufficient forces, expertise and helicopters to deal with this situation ourselves.
