**Serbian President Declares End to “Colored Revolution”, Makes 5 Demands**
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has announced the end of what he called a “colored revolution” in the country, amidst weeks of student protests and demands for changes. The declaration was made at a gathering of his supporters in central Belgrade.
**A Message to Protesters: “We Won’t Give Up Serbia”**
The 2-day event, dubbed “We Won’t Give Up Serbia”, aimed to form Vucic’s Movement for the State and the People. In his address to the crowd, Vucic warned protesters that they would not be allowed to topple the state. He also demanded an end to protests and activities that are disrupting daily life and economy.
**5 Demands to Normalize the Situation**
Vucic made five key demands to normalize the situation in Serbia:
1. **Establish order**: Proceedings should be launched by prosecutors to establish order, with full respect for the constitution and laws.
2. **Security for citizens**: Security measures should be taken to protect the state and its citizens from further attacks.
3. **Return of institutions**: Vucic claimed that certain institutions, including the state TV (RTS), have been captured by protesters and demanded their return.
4. **Accountability for vandalism**: Prosecution and accountability under the law are sought for those who took part in alleged vandalism and assaults on peacefully assembled people.
5. **Protection of vital interests**: Vucic demanded that every student be allowed to go to classes, and activities paralyzing the economy should be prevented.
**Tensions Rise as Protests Continue**
As Vucic spoke, several attacks on media crews and opposition officials were reported. An N1 reporter was hit with a water bottle on her leg, while an Al Jazeera crew was prevented from recording the gathering. A security guard also assaulted an official of the Go Start opposition party.
The situation in Serbia remains tense, with protesters continuing to demand changes and Vucic’s government pushing back against their demands. The fate of the country hangs in the balance as tensions rise between those who want reform and those who are determined to maintain the status quo.
