**Serbian President Denies Use of Sound Cannon**
The president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has said that a sound cannon was not used during protests in the capital city on March 15. He made this claim after meeting with top European Union officials in Brussels.
Vucic spoke to the media, but excluded N1, a news organization. He said that the Serbian government had nothing to hide and were “entirely open” to any investigation into the use of sound cannons.
The president told EU officials that he was willing to let them verify whether or not a sound cannon was used during the protests. He also said that Serbia would provide answers to the European Court of Human Rights.
**EU Officials React**
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen posted on X, saying that an important meeting had been held with Vucic. She noted that Serbia needs to deliver on EU reforms, particularly in areas such as media freedom and fighting corruption.
However, she did not mention the protests or Vucic’s comments about sound cannons in her post.
**Vucic Hopes for International Investigation**
Vucic expressed hope that a delegation from Russia’s FSB intelligence agency would arrive in Serbia within two to three days. He also said he hoped that the American FBI would investigate claims of sound cannon use against demonstrators on March 15 in Belgrade.
“We are ready to show them everything and prove that it didn’t happen,” Vucic said.
**Talks with EU Officials**
Vucic met with EU officials to discuss Serbia’s future within the European Union. He expressed his satisfaction with the talks, saying they were “very significant” for Serbia’s future.
The president noted that they discussed topics such as stability and peace in the region, economic issues, and the rule of law.
**Costa: The Future of Serbia Lies in the EU**
European Council President Antonio Costa said in a post on X that he discussed with Vucic and von der Leyen “the need to advance on EU related reforms.”
He emphasized that progress is needed in areas such as media freedom, fighting corruption, and electoral reform.
“The future of Serbia lies in the EU,” Costa wrote.
